My crayfish knows that when I put in a stick of rivercane he knows it means feeding time. I drop a dead fish in the water then push it down with the stick.

[maninablackhat]

He's trying to climb up the tongs and eat you.

[Ihateirans]

Dance of the sugarplum mantis...

[Incorected]

i told you not to put LSD in the tank

[Minefields]

I got a question, are these shrimps edible ? I mean, can you eat something like that if you go to a restaurant ?

[Tofatty]

@Minefields Yes you can

[troutfisher98]

how do u get one of these

[azerliusanbu]

At a store that sells fish most of the time but if your lucky you cn buy live rock and one might come as a hitch hiker

[o56kid]

Is he playing?

[sirtubemaster]

@o56kid it explains exactly what it is doing in the description! lmao its amazing the people that cant read

[o56kid]

@sirtubemaster

LAMO, it is also amazing how big of snobs some people ars. . .

[DigiShark990]

Haha, he wasn't being a snob. You were just not using your eyes nor your brain.

[044Emily]

I thought these guys were pests that come in on live coral and people get rid of them because they are able to crack the glass of a fish tank?

[tekinak007]

They arent pests.... not pests by far, however they are known to be in the cracks of live rock taken from the ocean... to then have the owners find their fish dissapearing.

Only heard of one true situation of one cracking the glass... and that was in a thin cheap tank.

[ArnarJohanns]

Very rarely. I think the estimate is more than half an inch of glass will do. And its rare for them to attack the glass.

[ArnarJohanns]

With glass i mean the plastic that is used in most fish tanks.

[Lesouder2222Music]

an amazing crustacean

[ihelenli]

they eat those in china. they taste yummy!

[ZephyDrake]

I've seen those before, very cool critters, they use their claws to stun their food like BLAM

[Bulletpierce]

[hollowghost2]

[kaikou1098]

It's a mantis shrimp. Their eyesight is the best in the known animal kingdom.

Pretty fascinating creature it is.

[mabgamer6407]

Thanks!

[FridaySternShow]

we used to have a coral reef tank with fish and cool stuff and we got coral rock from a place and a mantis shrimp was inside rock. it kept drilling into rocks and killing things we had to give it to fish place. I do remember hearing him say people buy these as pets but I was like who would want one of these things. but now I can see why. I also had a cool eel named snaggle tooth. we ended up giving the eel to a fish place who sold it to someone with a huge tank.

[marcmint]

dare u to put ur fingers in

[irkekler123]

yesterday i allmost got pwned hardcore by crayfish cuz putting my hand in the aquarium. didnt know they were that fast O_o they always walk slowly and clumsy

[81kamill]

....Do you always base everything in a verbal and physically manner from a game?

[irkekler123]

why do u care?

[81kamill]

I don't was questioning the fact how dramatic you seem to be.

I mean why is it so important to base everything on a game in such a dramatic form lol...

Is it that hard to stay in reality?

[irkekler123]

again, why do u care?

[81kamill]

Why do you care to ask for the answer.

[irkekler123]

i dont? i never asked u something. u just came asking me strange stuff. so why do u care about my care?

[rabbidfishy]

[irbenson]

First of all, the shrimp is saltwater...Have fun paying for the aquarium salt for your entire pond :D

[yneshAshanti]

[irbenson]

[KingSeemani]

[Barcode711]

You better believe it.

[vietnegro]

[Kurtfr0]

cheap as dirt, there usually free. but to keep one alive.. you need atleast 500 for all the supplies and tank set up...

[Qez0]

@vietnegro Use google. Google. Google, the search engine you know? Google. Search there. Now. Do it. Google. Google. It's a website. Google.

LEARN HOW TO USE GOOGLE OR GTFO THE INTERNET

[420JustLegalizeIt]

@Qez0 You are fucking annoying.

[chunkylover817]

@Qez0 googles not a website, its a search engine :P

[aroogahman]

damn, now i want one. those look awesome!

[strictlyformyninja]

Fantastic creature you have there!

Do you happen to know the particular kind of mantis shrimp that is?

I have seen a zebra mantis shrimp and it was not nearly as colorful as the one you have in this video,

[Faszystka]

It is a Peacock mantis shrimp (Odontodactylus scyllarus).

[dokter213]

strictlyformyninja do you know where someone could get a mantis shrimp?

[niziolek77]

they can pierce through your finger! Also break glass

[Paumonsu]

wtf is this, an alien?

[wolfboyp54]

how much do they cost?????  they are awsome

[ForbiddenRoseSociety]

ohhh that mantis r yummy. i have a lot of them

[boorelius]

extremely colorful!

[eclipsegsx765]

cant those things punch hard like a 22 cal pistol?

[IKillCowsWithMusic]

yes they sometimes breeak out of their own aquariums thats why people get reenforced arcylic glass

[sportexit]

That thing looks so damn toxic.

[Chris93Rock]

funky

[Machmedibror]

saltwater and they eat small fish , crabs and shrimp

[munch12789]

r they fresh water or salt and wat size tank u need and wat do they eat

[IKillCowsWithMusic]

they can not be kept with any other fish or invertabrate and they shall only be kept in saltwater aquariums with atleast 10 gallon (us) 7 gallon (UK) which is about 35-50l and re-ebfrced glass is recommended as they are know to break their own aquariums

there little shits really but nice and colourful for a lower priced end of the saltwater range of creatures

[pendulocarnivoro]

HAHA

[xaznrocker]

LOL the classic music makes it funny xD

[Turbokanamies]

happy for you, take good care of it, ok :)

[Ashkeeper]

as punishment for child rape, it should be mandatory for someone to be strapped to a table and lowered into a tank full of these things.

[Forewarned76]

That's cruel and unusual punishment.... towards crustaceans

[undercoverharry115]

That thing (mantis) was well cool i want one

[dharoksrs2]

lol its kinda odd or weird the sound of someone saying "i have a shrimp as a pet" lol

[KINGbiggypac]

wow thats crazy nice for a shrimp

[Samjapa]

the mantis shrimp is a most intelligent crustacean. today.

great video.

[cranialjukebox]

I really liked the music. :)

Beautiful creature, by the way.

[JoeVSvolcano]

Obviously looks forward to feeding time. Mantis shrimp arent cute, they'll crack a fingernail to the bone if you try and pet it.

[Celcana]

How colorful.

[teamicecream21]

what is that?

[ronkini123]

lol

[Kujo209]

Did you purchase that or find it?

[synirr]

Purchase.

[Azicpok1]

[StabTacular]

[AuronWarrior]

It so funny and cute.

[JenniferHonea]

That thing is so pretty.

[liquifive]

wow nice tank set-up there. and nice pet too!

[synirr]

Yeah. Now think about how intelligent most crustaceans are. Ooo, or better yet, Google mantis shrimp.

[HylianMelora]

Awesomely cool looking! (Nice tank too!)

[sopothetocho]

I wonder how matis taste... I think it taste like crawfish

[CAJUNTWINSMOM]

Very beautifully colored creature

[PsychoFlunky]

how long do mantis shrimp live?

[peterbiltexd]

i think i got a mantis shrimp in my reef tank

not good i think he ate one of my fish

[trumpmech]

you think you have one? How would you not know?

[trumpmech]

Oops- sorry, I didn't realize they were pests in reef tanks! My bad!

[DoctorPencilK]

I'm glad I did not waste those seconds of my life on homework.

[MADSLAYER47]

[zzzxtreme]

[TheSanityInspector]
