I plan to do that as soon as i get the funds to do so.

Im not sure if you answered this or not Cranberry but how many times do you feed your mantis? I plan on feeding mine maybe twice a week and every other week try and get him a Green Emerald Crab or a Fiddler crab.

Awesome Blossum. I have read some of his research. Its very good and informative. One of the first places I went to when I started researching

Haha ok. Thank you for all the advice. Not too much useful info out on the web about taking care of them. Just how to exterminate them

Okie Dokie Thank you very much. Is there anything wrong with putting my soon to be mantis in a bowfront aquarium? Is that glass weaker or should I be ok?

What is #3 sand?

Not sure it was given to me but I have figured out the hard way that adding chemicals and addatives isnt always the answer to fixing a problem. Put it only what you can test for. Adding things can maybe make things worse or just be a quick fix that will rear its head up later down the line.

Ok. Thank you for the reassurance Cranberry. How deep of a sand bed would you recommend? And what grain of sand?

Thank you everyone for your advice. I always appreciate it. I have more than enough clean up crew. And a bazillion Bristle Worms. I plan on keep algae sheets out everyone day where the LMB hangs out the most. Wish me luck

Peacock Mantis Shrimp

Woot Woot I found a LFS that can order them. Time to start looking for a tank! I plan on getting a 40g so he can grow very big. He is going to be 6 or 7'' long so I want him to get at least a foot long. I did have a question though. I plan to feed mine twice a week so he doesnt horde food. Will...

That Purple Up will really work? Im going to have to try that. Do I need to do water changes more frequent when using that or no? In doing this, will it also increase my Cyano problem. Thats my biggest concern at the moment. I used a product called AlgaeFix. It it supposedly ment to kill...

Time isnt on my side, Flower. My LMB is starving basically. I guess Im just going to have to wait and try feeding him as much as possible. Cross your fingers and fins

Ya, that was my plan for tonight. Ill try spot feeding him but he is very skeetish. Do you think adding a piece of liverock with algae all over it would be the route to take?

Haha. Its just a double edged sword, ya know? If I leave the lights on longer, I help increase my cyano problem. If I overfeed to try and get the LMB to eat, I risk leaving alot of uneaten food which in turn, adds to my cyano problem....... fml....

My Aqua C Remora Skimmer has always spewed large amounts of microbubbles out of it along with my Maxi Jet Powerheads. I havent seen any negative effect on my corals or fish. You will be fine. If it bothers you alot, try adding a small sponge where the water comes out back into your tank. That...

Well I dont mean brand new. I just mean it looks super clean and clear. No algae growing on the rocks or back of the tank. Ive done giant water changes to try and remove the chemical completely. What can I do to introduce algae? Anything besides cyano and bubble algae are fine with me. I know...

The only thing that could be doing that is heat. It doesn't look like you are keeping any weight on the glass lids besides the lighting fixture. I would deffinetly try and mount the lights higher. This will stop the warping and reduce the heat of your aquarium Just my 0.02 Goodluck, I hope it...

As Flower and Meowzer know, I put some Algae killer in my aquarium a couple weeks ago. It was suppose to kill the cyano problem Ive had but as usual, it didnt. Now my aquarium looks brand new. I dont have any algae growing at all. My LMB is starving. I need help. How can I introduce new, good...

Im going to be setting up a 40g Mantis shrimp tank and the only thing I cant seem to track down is the Mantis Shrimp! Ive done my research and am still doing it but I specifically want a Peacock Mantis Shrimp. My LFS had one once but I havent seen one since. My specialty guy cant get them. No...
