In what way is it fucked up? It's just shrimps fighting each other. Happens constantly in nature.

It was necessary in nature, we know maybe the mantist shrimp need moving prey but he could just get a week shrimp instead of something more dangerous, i mean, it is his pet why would you want to potentially harm your pet

That lobster.. from the moment you put it in the water(with the Mantis) it was smart enough to back up until it couldn't that shows defence and new territory iq. then it proceeded to scope the land edge to edge, almost charging the mantis. then after the fist hit, it took to the air knowing it was cornered.

It encourages then to grow bigger probably because having more space helps them feel comfortable and start flourishing faster(imagine it as throwing a dog a bone,it aint happy till it gets the bone,in this case the bone is a bigger tank,if you think im wrong then your probably right,we all look up things but im too lazy to look it up to tell you..
