Mantis ID

Can I feed it some frozen silversides?? I feed it 3 pepermint shrimp the other day but I have a bag of silversides I need to use..
 
yeah they will deffinately take silversides, i would use a feeding stick lol, there will be no way you can have a good enough reaction time to not get struck by a spearing mantis

I almost bought that mantis at BR...snared a pendant instead.

Hey Dave.. I got a great deal on it.. Do you still have that Mantis I gave you awhile ago???
 
its blueberry! i have this mantis. i keep her in a 10 gal, with temps in the mid to hi 70s. despite the fact that they prefer the cooler water she has been doing great! she only, and i mean only comes out late at night. i dont keep her with any other critters except snails. i have lots of corals, but no other crabs or anything. i did put some damsels in there once. they lasted about 3 days. since there were only three, i figure thats one a night. any way i love her. her feeding schedual is every other night. i feed her silver sides. i also have a nice piece of 2" pvc pipe as long as the tank. she never comes out of it! oh and she digs, and digs, and digs, and digs... you get the idea.
