mantis shrimp chose the wrong tank!!

[saltwaterinbrooklyn]

i noticed my clean up crew was dying off and how my giant bulldozer snails started dying but why would the shell have cracks in em!? and whats up with the hermit crab legs all over and the cleaner shrimp that only stay on the right side??? i will tell you why!! i saw a mantis shrimp roughly 2 inches long burrowing a hole under one of my support rocks and hes picking off my clean up crew and im sure anything else he can grab!!

i will tell you this !!! its me or him and im gonna section off the corner hes in and shake it all up till he comes out and then im gonna beat the *&^% out of em.... so dont ask me for him for your refugiums folks cause he has to answer for those gorgeous zebra turbo snails he ate!!

I think, and I'm sure everyone else will agree, that said mantis shrimp deserves a fair trial. Complete with witnesses, supporting witnesses, corroborating evidence, jury of it's peers etc.:splitspin

I disagree, I say in the aquarium world that we build is a dictatorship............ So since the crimes happened underwater then the punishment should be DEATH by DROWNING ;-)

[saltwaterinbrooklyn]

[loneracer05]

I know you said not to ask butttt how bout I replace those snaiils with afew extra for him? I can even provide afew different trap options aswell as helping to catch him

 

[saltwaterinbrooklyn]

dag nabbit loneracer! i said execution!! lol if i can catch him you would still be the 5th in line for such a lil bastard i will let you know how it goes!!

 

[loneracer05]

Lol ok well if u want the traps lmk. I have 3 that have successfully cought several mantis shrimps and afew that have not worked so well lol

Hey just remember he didn't choose to be ripped out of the ocean, or to be placed into your tank. So it's really not his fault, it is just doing what comes naturally.

 

[saltwaterinbrooklyn]

i know i cant blame him for his instinctive behavior , its like killing a great white for being a great white! it all depends on how it carries out and whether or not its a bad confrontation!

 

[Alex]

I say Lupo him, "Time to pa pa pa".

 

[saltwaterinbrooklyn]

lmfao oh yeah i will lupo the crap out of him, straight up and down the ave! that crazy piece of shrimp!!
