So I have this dotty back. Not a nice fish at all! Lol lived in a tote for awhile. He killed one of my skunk cleaner shrimp, not a small shrimp either.I then put him in my qt. I was done adding new fish. Got a screaming deal on live rock, which included a yellow tail damsel that wouldn't vacate said rock. In w the dotty back he went. Then after watching for 2 months I bought a maroon clown at my lfs. Also put in the tank. Needless to say not a passive tank. Although they do get along well. Well I decided to up grade there tank. So I got about 15lbs of lr and let it cycle. Just before adding the fish I took a few small lr out of my big tank and added them. This was about 2 months ago. The other day I realized I haven't heard the "clicking" of my mantis shrimp lately in my big tank. Ok he was a hitchhiker maybe he finally died. Then when feeding the other tank , yup out he pop's grabbing some mysis lol. The thought came to me today at wrk, he's in the tank w that shrimp killing dotty back! 3 months now and going strong lol kill my skunk u bastard. Won't touch the mantis tho will u lol

If he knows what's good for him, he won't touch the mantis. Mantis shrimp aren't as passive as skunk cleaners, so he may want to watch his back! LOL!!!
