Ok all you mantis lovers...

Can you tell me ways to catch the two mantis shrimp we have in our 40gal tank?

I know they are cute and we've enjoyed having them, but it's about time to get cleaner crews and then fish, and I don't want the mantis preying on my additions.

So I need some ways to get them into a salt bucket so I can either take them to my LFS, or find someone who will take them for me.

Suggestions please?
 
were is the live rock from? and try the bottle trick. take a plastic bottle and cut it at the point of the widest part on the neck, invert glue with aquarium silicone and bait.

There are several posts here on how to get them out from the bottle trick to squirting fresh water in to their LR burrows...do a search.....

:)


Also when you get them out post them for sale here or on www.grimreefers.com There are people on these 2 sites that will gladly take them off your hands..... Do you have any pics?
 
Got them out..took them to the LFS. They're going to hold them and give them to a few people who are always asking for them.

Thanks for the tips.
