Shawawanika the Mantis Shrimp FLIES into action!

[MrChrisDilly]

If you still have this aquarium I would recommend draining it and cleanign all the rocks and gravel. It looks like you have a very bad Cyano outbreak (The long stringy red velvet algae) That stuff is caused by overfeeding, not enough water changes, and not enough water movement. If I were you, I would add powerheads and reduce feeding. Just my 0.02 though.

its a o. latoris

Odontodactylus Havanensis ..They are small and generally only get to be 2.5-3 inches long. They are very peaceful and are related to the biggest of the smashers, the Peacock Mantis..Which is oddly enough the most aggressive of the smashers.

Hehe.... I love it at 0:22 when she's clamped onto the feeding stick and flies away with it.. SO cute! I've seen her species at my aquatics store, and they fetch a good price-- $21.99!! They only get about 3-4 inches long, and are smashers. But damn it-- I forgot the species name! Anyway, thanks for showing!

What species is that?
