Your mantis will love the bigger tank this video funds! Add a deep sandbed with lots of rubble and he will make a really extensive series of burrows, they are so much more fun to watch while they are digging and arranging small rocks to make a fancy burrow entrance.

[@frognose]

@@saltybrackishfresh They can make a crazy burrow labyrinth if the sand is deep enough, they actually take pieces of rock rubble and coral skeleton and use it to create supports under the substrate to hold up their burrows in loose sand. A good burrow seems to help a lot with molting success in my experience too. Keep up the good work I look forward to the video!

I don't mind these videos, it has genuine educational value and many of them would die, in a natural environment. That being said,I don't totally dig your intervention. Not sure why, but I dislike you moving rocks and pushing one out of hiding, forcing him/her to engage the other. What if, in the case of the Smithi (forgot SP) the small one was using cover as an offensive tool? Attacking from cover then making it's egress back within the defensive confines of its hole,rock,gap,perforation, or whatever. You have intervened and removed any genuine feel the interaction had and we miss out on great natural moments like Samshrimp flipping his lovely locks back and pressing that rock 😃

[@joseibarra7550]

Agree glad someone said it

[@darlynperez4965]

Yeah

[@youcantdiealonewithcats]

I agree and feel the same way. I'm not mad that the kid is interested to see what would happen, it happens in nature and it's cool to witness, but my unsolicited opinion/advice would be that the kid is a bit impatient, and he should slow down and allow for everything to take its course naturally,-- no interference. I would like to see what these smaller shrimp do to defend themselves without human hand tossing it out into the open and ensuring certain defeat, and also lowering the smaller guy's confidence and ability to plan and defend/offend when ready. Sometimes in nature, even relatively often, the underdog wins. But not if he's assumed to lose and keeps being thrown literally into the claws of his larger opponent. Just my opinion on this, but I still enjoy the videos and find them fascinating and informative
