[@Magpie5yndrome]

Every time the shrimp pounces, my mind just hears, "Yoink."

[@Weirdanimalboy]

This is really cool. I noticed how his hunting tactic wasn't to necessary spear the fish, but to hook his claws into their gills. That takes precision.

[@MantismanTM]

+Weirdanimalboy The mantis scopes out the fish, if it believes it can penetrate the scales then it will stab but usually the eye or gill is the primary snag point.

[@Ripa-Moramee]

​@@MantismanTMSpearing mantis seem to be less aggressive to humans. I can stick my hand near one and nothing happens, even picked him up to put him back in his tank a couple times, but the same definitely cannot be said for clubbing ones. Put your hand anywhere near one of them and they almost always will hit you. At least that's my experience. I assume this is because if they chose to stab, that could actually be very dangerous for them to do and possibly even harm them, whereas clubbing won't necessarily "stick" or get stuck in per say.

[@jstar3382]

​@@Ripa-Morameeyeah the club is an easy way to tell something else to fuck off, but not as much with the spear

@aHumanBeing- Most of the "silver" colored fish are wild caught and all of the colored fish are or were sick, however the Stomatopods have a very unique and very amazing digestive system, they can consume lethal poisons not just sick animals...such as the blue ringed octopus, which any stomatopod large enough will consume whole and not be afflicted by the lethal poison it possess.

[@tbone9157]

I knew right away that a few of them looked sick. A couple of those fish are pretty expensive so I figured they were sick. People getting upset at nature it's ridiculous. Now if someone is throwing cats to an alligator that would be sick. Thanks for the video.

[@MantismanTM]

Negatory on that front big G 6 :D #1 - It was wild caught not purchased. #2 - It was a squid not a cuttlefish. (but still apart of the cephalopod order). It's about diversity, I try to offer my inhabitants what they might get in their native habitats. Everything slightly larger than the mantis itself & all things smaller are on the menu but it's typically what I find for them in habitats that are where the actual mantis itself is found as well.

[@brandongray8121]

OK now that I look at the video not on my phone I see. I thought I seen it color morph on my phone. cool video though. I bet you don't stick your hand in his area.

[@porpus99]

Fish store owners need to be careful when housing Mantis Shrimp, the smasher type. I ordered one via a local aquarium chain a while back. Now, this store has an interconnected filtration system, meaning every tank technically has a connection via the filtration system. Well, the day I was supposed to pick up my shrimp they discovered it was no longer in the tank. Somehow it had found a way to get into the filter and vanished. Well, I had to go back a few days later after an exhaustive search revealed nothing save the fact that their fish inventory began to vanish and the sounds of "clack clack clack" could be heard now and then. They ordered me a new one, and wisely had it set up in a separate unit.

[@notsauer]

What happened after that? Did they catch it? It's local so I'm guessing you might have heard

[@porpus99]

not Sauer Last time I was in there they said it was still missing according to the owner, and it is still stealing inventory.

[@vyudali5519]

+porpus99 That's terrifying as fuck oh my gosh, but also really funny. Those fish must be terrified of the mass predator running amok.

[@MannyFresh1x]

+porpus99 Well they need to close the store and flush the damn thing out of the filtration system. It's using those little pvc pipes to get in and out of multiple tanks. So it must be small?

[@porpus99]

MannyFresh1x It was small, but no idea how big it is now. As far as I know it has been targeting hermit crabs and other small things it drags away. I have not been to the store in a few weeks, so i do not have an update.
