Help me pick a mantis!

ahh isee. i didnt think of that . one day i'll have to set up one of my own.

 

yeah if the mantis uses that as its den, the water will be moving quite alot in that pipe

Maybe drill a hole in the middle/back of the pipe? That'll give him 3 ways in and out. Living in a tube seems like it'd be kind of tight.

 

Go for it Nu!

yeah that's what I was thinkin Jwin..and as you said I could even make it big enough for a secret entrance.

 

Well the damsel didn't make it..kind of a weird story

I was rearranging the rocks..had a few on the floor on a towel..while I was messin around the with the tank my new puppy decided to poop in the middle of the living room..in a small apartment that was my number 1 priority! I came back about 10 or so minutes later..finished up with the rocks..as I was putting the last rock in I turned it upside down and the damsel fell out..He was hiding in a hole in the rock when I took it out of the tank

I have tested ammonia every day and it's still reading zero..read 5ppm nitrates yesterday..i'm gonna give it another week or so just to be safe. I left the damsel in there for the hermit crab I tossed in yesterday..he's feasting..maybe that will give me an ammonia spike

 

It'll probably spike it up a good bit, but that's good for the cycle as well.

We had one of our freshwater fish die a few days ago. We were too lazy to get it out, but it looked weird seeing a dead fish in the tank. We didn't really care about this fish...so this morning I just grabbed it in some tongs, took it to Bo's tank, and gave it to Bo (our mantis) to eat. He loved it hahahaha

 

yeah I figured it would be good to get something good an nasty in there..the hermit crab has it gone though lol he ate every bit of it!
