After about four months i finally caught the pain in my a@$@# Pistal Shrimp in my tank. I saw him in the rock so i pulled the rock out and I took a syringe with hot water and shot it in the whole he was in. Damn did he come flying out of ther. I have him alive though in a small 10 gallon tank he is pretty cool. I do not know what to do with him now though. I do not want to run a tank for just one small 4" shrimp.

I took him out of the tank because he had killed several of my fish. Plus I did not want him in the tank because they can also brake the glass of your tank if they hit it. Good idea i will put him in my sump I never thought of that

The dreaded mantis shrimp (shivers). I have not had the "joy" of hunting one of these buggers down yet but knowing my luck I will get a hitchhiker before long from some LR. Congrats on your success :)
