Haven't tried that yet ... I did get a good size piece of shrimp by the larger of the 2 tonight and he latched right on to it ... the other is under a rock where the mantis frequents ... BUT ... I moved up to your category 20 min. ago ... walkin past the tank saw Jack "The Gorilla" LaLane strolling along the glass, grabbed the long plastic tweeezers, and :hammer: WHACK ... grabbed him on the first shot ... he slipped out but didn't get too far ... Picasso got a few bites, but now he's now swimmin down the Raritan River somewhere ... big sucker ... could just about close the tweezers ... layin flat in the bottom of the turlet, was almost about the size of a quarter....NEXT! ... :fun2: :crazy1:
