Hi all,
I have a question. Have any of you lost an mantis during a molt? I found my mantis dead today and it looked like he was still molting because he still have the original skin on his tail.
I'm thinking the GreenEx got him, the stuff discolored his skin, and I've read they eat their skin during molting. Or the toxin from the red flatworms got him, even though I did a water change and a filter media change after the die off.
Just before the molt, he ate a Astrea snail.
Thanks for the help in advance.
