Sad as it is...

my 55 gallon CAN NOT SUPPORT A MANTIS SHRIMP OF ANY SIZE. I think she is making night raids in the main display now. This will not do. Grrrrrrrrrr........:exclaim:

A 55 gallon is more than enough to support a Mantis shrimp, if you're setting up a species tank. However, No tank is large enough to have a Mantis in if it's a reef tank. The Mantis will wreak havoc on the rest of the life in the tank.

 

[Krish]

Yeah...He will probably break open any invert shell to find a quick meal. Most of the time you will only see dedicated mantis shrimp tanks unless then mantis was trasferred into the tank as a hitch hiker

I know of someone who has one in a reef tank. He target feeds it 2-3 times a day. He has not had a problem with it however I do NOT recommend trying it.

 

[Damsel13]

OH MY GOSH!!!!!! TARGET FEEDS IT 2-3 TIMES A DAY!?

No that is why I am Aunt Debbie and not Mommie.

 

[Damsel13]

i'd suggest getting rid of it or you can always start a mantis tank .

I liked your pair of laughing faces ... but I haven't a clue what the rest is representing for me. I just wonder does Krish's wife ever have to clean anything? If she doesn't shoot! Sounds like a good deal!

 

[Brenden]

[Brenden]
