4:10 It is amazing the fish goes back after the third time like, "Ok that is the weirdest thing, something is coming out of that hole and stabbing my insides. Seriously I gotta go check this out again."
They're only doing that due to their lack of intelligence. The same way people keep buying blunts(weed), coming back to that burger joint, or refuse exercise daily despite knowing the negative effects.
Goddamn, fish are dumb. "Holy shit something just tried to fucking _impale_ me and missed! Damn, that was lucky. Better _not try to run away_ and just float around in the same spot! I'm sure it'll be _fine_."
+Gideon Okun It did not escape for long, the fishes short term memory caused its doom as it forgot what it had survived only to be recaptured moments later.
This is really cool. I noticed how his hunting tactic wasn't to necessary spear the fish, but to hook his claws into their gills. That takes precision.
+Weirdanimalboy The mantis scopes out the fish, if it believes it can penetrate the scales then it will stab but usually the eye or gill is the primary snag point.
@@MantismanTMSpearing mantis seem to be less aggressive to humans. I can stick my hand near one and nothing happens, even picked him up to put him back in his tank a couple times, but the same definitely cannot be said for clubbing ones. Put your hand anywhere near one of them and they almost always will hit you. At least that's my experience. I assume this is because if they chose to stab, that could actually be very dangerous for them to do and possibly even harm them, whereas clubbing won't necessarily "stick" or get stuck in per say.
IMO, this shrimp is the ultimate predator. It can hide in its hole all day, doesn't have to reveal itself to feed, and by the time prey realize there's an animal there, it's too late. Not to mention this thing is lightning quick... I think I want one 🤔
@aHumanBeing- Most of the "silver" colored fish are wild caught and all of the colored fish are or were sick, however the Stomatopods have a very unique and very amazing digestive system, they can consume lethal poisons not just sick animals...such as the blue ringed octopus, which any stomatopod large enough will consume whole and not be afflicted by the lethal poison it possess.
xXxLoyaltyxXx1 im not a vegan shit head, and yes you are fucking close minded because you made the stupidest fucking remark about people who are. fucking idiot.
I knew right away that a few of them looked sick. A couple of those fish are pretty expensive so I figured they were sick. People getting upset at nature it's ridiculous. Now if someone is throwing cats to an alligator that would be sick. Thanks for the video.
+T Bone It would be very easy for me to throw in like a kitten/puupy/rat etc. but I won't and NEVER EVER will cause that is not what this is all about...
1:29-1:33 Fish:THEY DIDNT BELIEVE THAT I COULD DO IT! BUT I WENT TO THE MANTIS SHRIMP, SAW IT! AND TOTALLY WRECKED IT! Mantis Fish:Erm, you just became my friend. Older Fish: OHOHOHOHOHOHOHO That was funny.
This guy must've been filthy rich. Feeding his mantis with various type of aquarium fishes. Lol he should try feed it a puffer 😉 i bet his mantis would love it
Wonderful footage Mantisman! - You can really see the passion you have for these creatures in your filming and editing. Great stuff I live in Papua New Guinea and there are tons of Mantis shrimps here amongst other rare and exotic creatures....... Your videos have inspired me to go and film those shrimps and upload some videos to my channel soon. I have subscribed to you!
It's monster high Lover you can't really talk, let's take a look at your channel content real quick..... I guess you're always on that side of RUclips huh
I'd say more like Jason...at least this giant spearer anyway...think about it. It's the biggest of its kind... It's a quiet killer (no sounds)... It wields the biggest weapon a scythe/machete... I'd call the smashers more like Freddy, their very interactive and in your face while the spearers are the silent sit wait watch strike like Jason.
Lanisha Smith Fishes like "Lanisha?" "What are you doing?" "Lanisha?" "What are you doing?" "Lanisha?" "What are you doing?" it's hard to get "Lanisha?" "Stap" lol
Aww but just imagine yourself at night sleeping beside the tank, only to wake up and be staring face to 'face' with one of these big spearers that managed to get out of its tank and crawl up your bed...... after all they are crustaceans and many species are adept out of the water....
jesus its like the worlds most violent magic trick one second the fish is there then the shimps claws shoot out and suddenly the fish is below the sand.
Fish store owners need to be careful when housing Mantis Shrimp, the smasher type. I ordered one via a local aquarium chain a while back. Now, this store has an interconnected filtration system, meaning every tank technically has a connection via the filtration system. Well, the day I was supposed to pick up my shrimp they discovered it was no longer in the tank. Somehow it had found a way to get into the filter and vanished. Well, I had to go back a few days later after an exhaustive search revealed nothing save the fact that their fish inventory began to vanish and the sounds of "clack clack clack" could be heard now and then. They ordered me a new one, and wisely had it set up in a separate unit.
+porpus99 Well they need to close the store and flush the damn thing out of the filtration system. It's using those little pvc pipes to get in and out of multiple tanks. So it must be small?
MannyFresh1x It was small, but no idea how big it is now. As far as I know it has been targeting hermit crabs and other small things it drags away. I have not been to the store in a few weeks, so i do not have an update.
1:25 That fish seems really friendly and playful and when the shrimp pulled him under at 1:29, the fish was like *"ELLONEWFREINDMYNAMEISSTEVEITSNICETOMEETYOUYOUHAVEAREALLYNICEPLACEAREWEGONNAPLAYHUHUHUH?!"* and the shrimp at 1:33 was like "...Fuck this" and let him go
1:27 when your friends see how they take you and are like aww he can’t handle it but then you walk out like nothing and there like wtf I’m talking about games
I never intended to be here but somehow, I accidently watched your videos and find them interesting! I like there videos and I can't understand how people can even relate this to dark pleasure. Screw that Celtic whoever the fuck dude. Keep em up
Negatory on that front big G 6 :D #1 - It was wild caught not purchased. #2 - It was a squid not a cuttlefish. (but still apart of the cephalopod order). It's about diversity, I try to offer my inhabitants what they might get in their native habitats. Everything slightly larger than the mantis itself & all things smaller are on the menu but it's typically what I find for them in habitats that are where the actual mantis itself is found as well.
OK now that I look at the video not on my phone I see. I thought I seen it color morph on my phone. cool video though. I bet you don't stick your hand in his area.
Mantisman™ so why r u bringing any fish in? Our oceans r slowly getting worse and removing them from the wild is dwindling our populations. If u love them or even remotely care for them then leave them be. Or become a biologist.
Amazing creatures! Incredibly interesting! I've read about you saying you feed sick fish and whatnot but I'm curious as to how affordable just one of these beautiful shrimp would be to upkeep for the average Joe, I'd have to get the shrimp's food from a pet store or something as I don't have the means of breeding or catching food.
“Mantis shrimp eats $10,000 worth of tropical fish”
right?? lmao i was looking at some of these like thats some expensive ass food
right!? that shid better taste good
Catch them yourself
😂😂 Right. Feeder goldfish are a heck of lot cheaper!!!
i think he's throwing sick fish in there, and some seem like they have ich. Inverts can't get ich, or at least can't host it.
Now imagine one of these 50x the size bringing down ships in a blink of an eye.
Dear god that would be the ultimate marine predator.
