I bought 4 pounds of rock yesterday, and can you believe I got up this morning, looked in the tank and had two eyes staring back at me. Luckily the rock is in a quarantine tank.
Anyways, he is so small I can't tell what kind of mantis it is.
It is about 1/2" long and 1/8" wide, kind of has pink bands on a clear body.
I have been feeding it pieces of shrimp held by tongs. It just rips pieces off.
I did hear it beating on the rock right outside his hole he lives in.
Amazingly it was pretty loud.
Can I assume it is a smasher?
I tried looking at it while feeding and it sort of looks like he has "clubs" instead of spears, but he is so small it is very hard to tell.
How much should I feed it daily, and how many times. It seems like he could just eat forever.
Today over the course of the entire day, he ate a whole shrimp about the same size as him.
I am debating about what to do with him. I was wondering what their growth rate is.
