omg i thought the damsel was his buddy cus he was in there so long b4 he got eaten and i thought they ate other crustaceans, and he didnt eat the hermit crab??
hey i was wondering what kinda of lights you have your peacock under... i hear that too powerful of light may cause damamge to your shirmp. i have 2 39 watt t5s over my 40 breeder and i was hoping for your imput
nice mantis shrimps are the best under water criters ever they are so mean and mercyless fun to watch them i'm thinking about making a vid of my own about mine
Crazy dark video, and yet I can't seem to get away from it! Awesome job, dude. It was just a month ago that I discovered these things even existed, and this cat's been in my nightmares ever since. What a nutty, terrifying critter this thing is!
wow.. i mean its a cool tank.. but peacocks are big.. i wouldnt throw him in nothing less than a 20L but thats me.. im getting a 29 for mine.. not a 2.5 .. wow..
I dont understand why they need a big tank! Todontodactylus Scyllarus (aka, Mantis Shrimp) burrow under/through Rock to make a home for themselves where they hang out. They only leave to feed/hunt so if he tosses in a Damsel once in a while for food he's set. What does a larger tank acomplish if your filtration is good and your doing your 20% weekly water changes?
..hey in responce to Joe.. Peacock mantis shrimps get up to 6-7 in. long.. while I agree alot of species sit under a rock all the time.. but Peacocks need room to roam, which is why they need atleast a 20L.
If the Mantis felt confined it would try and smash its way through the side or bottom of tank. Since he is obviously well fed (Damsel TarTar), there is no reason for him to look for bigger pastures/tanks else ware.
hey asshole! They fit into the Crustacea phylum in the class Malacostraca, subclass Hoplocarida (which means "ARMED SHRIMP") and order Stomatopoda. They are reffered to as shrimp because of their front appendages and how they use them. GET SOME TACT!
its called fact and if you actually look at the other videos and information it says that its neither a shrimp or a mantis. so stick that up your ass you fuck.
wow this video is awesome. i want one so bad but they are so destructive. did you see the video of the mantis solving a rubiks cube?
