Yeah... hopefully it doesn't go like this.

Also check out this forum's own Synirr's videos. She owns two stomatopods.

Lynden you sure know how to make someones day lol
the mantis shrimp when i saw it a few months back was tiny less than 10mm so he was obviously not big enough then to take anything on but now i guess he's feeling brave and getting bigger! i'll have to keep trying to catch the little blighter!

ive also got a mantis shrimp in my tank i want to remove and i will try to do so this week. ive seen some bottle traps on the internet that ill try and use but the problem i have is when/if i catch the mantis shrimp will it be ok in the trap until i can take it to my lfs supplyer over the weekend?? i wouldnt wanna stress it out keepin it in the trap and if it should happen to get out i wouldnt want it to go on a mad rampage in my tank???

 

[chrissaysyes]

I wouldnt worry about stressing it by keeping it in a box for a few days.

 

[craigybaby37]

so when you say keeping it in a box do you meen in the water???

i spose once ive caugh it i can just turn the trap up on its end so it has no way of escaping.
