Pseudosquilla ciliata food

[abrahamcho]

Hi guys I just recently got a 3 inch yellow Pseudosquilla ciliata. It is pretty active and it lives peacefully with 2 damsels. The thing si that it has been eating FRESHWATER guppies and I heard that it is bad for the mantis' liver and it is not great for it ,so now I tried frozen krill, brine sprimp, silverfish, mysis, and squid and she wont take it. She I guess "smells" it and throws it away outside her hole. Should I continue with the guppies? Any suggestions will be great.

Most stomatopods are hesitant to switch prey. Small live shrimp would be a good food, but we feed our P. ciliata krill, pieces of shrimp, and bits of crab. Pick a food and stick with it until the stomatopod starts to take it. They will not starve themselves to death.
