hfabs Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Hihi I found a mantis shrimp in my tank and that explains why some of the tank inhabitants are MIA.

marine_boy38 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 U may have a chance of catching it with a beta box, rubber band load the trap door attach the trigger with fishing line. Bite the beta box and they feed when the lights are off. Wait for it to go in then pull the trap. I caught my crab that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peebee Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Hi, I just spotted a mantis shrimp hitchhiker (slightly longer than 1 inch) in my tank, what sort of potential damage can they do and is it absolutely important to catch it out? One of my hermit crabs and a pistol shrimp has gone missing, but not sure if it has to do with the mantis shrimp... Am planing to set a trap soon. Any good bait or trap design that you recommend?
