Mantis/macro tank

Thanks, Nemo!

 

mangrove, Fish, Turtles Frogs items on eBay.com

I have heard that you have to be careful and not put these into a Acrylic fudge or tank as the roots can possibly break open the seam's.

 

Here's an update of the tank with the new lamps, 13w 6700k and 13w actinic03, more pink-purple than in the pic. I still haven't grabbed a good shot of the mantis under this lighting but I will soon enough.

 

Very nice. I have yet to take pics of my mantis. Maybe tomorrow

 

Mine is constantly running around the tank smacking on things, but for some reason doesn't enjoy the camera lens in his face. I did get a decent shot of the $5 frag. Zoa or paly? I can't tell if they're on the same mat, I think the girl at the LFS is supergluing palys into tight clusters.



Excuse the slight dynos, I've been knocking them out with dark days but they're still coming back. The only other issue is flatworms.

 

Finally caught some decent shots

 

Cool! Looks just like the mantis I had many years ago (lost it during a molt). Cute little suckers!

 

Cute? They give me the heeby jebbies. watching that video and lookin at the pics, I feel like I have bugs crawling all over me now.I know this is an older post but does any one have more info on these, they creep me out but at the same time they are intersting

 

Here's an article I wrote a couple of years back
