freewill Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 What do you guys feed your mantis with? Ive tried tiger barbs and small gold fish... However, read somewhere that its not good for their digestive system (not sure if its true)... hope fellow mantis 'enthusiasts' can share their experience... (not many mantis enthusiasts in SG??)

SRC Member surfedelic Posted October 8, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted October 8, 2003 I used to collect sea water from world trade centre and 2 weeks later i can see there was alot of baby mantis shrimp in my tank. And every 3 to 4 days i have to look into the gravel carefully to hunt them down. I killed about 10 small ones all in all. So better be careful those who collect sea water. Make sure you filter those water carefully before using it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member [P]owder Blue Posted October 8, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted October 8, 2003 Count me in the party! Keeping mine for almost 3 months now. Have been feeding mine with ghost shrimp on an alternate day basis. It is my favourite pet now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Nitro Posted October 8, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted October 8, 2003 Juz for info... those who feed your marine pets with fresh water creatures... you might want to think twice as they(FW stuffs) might upset the stomach of your marine pets.
