HI; great video..I have some questions...they may also be of help to others when you have time, please? -1) will/does the shrimp try to eat/ catch live fish? (Like the spotted one I saw one in the video-) 2) OR can I keep a fish in same tank as 'pet'? 3) can freshwater items be fed? i.e., /fish/crayfish/snails etc.? would/do they even eat snails? (I'm worried freshwater live items would/could mess up the mantis shrimp's metabolism/ salt balance? (and possibly kill or shorten lifespan) 4) how long is the lifespan in captivity? 5)what's the best feeders and most affordable way to acquire live feeders? -pet store/online breeding them yourself etc. in your experience? 5)are you using true reef lighting or just standard led lights? (Maybe the issue with bad hunting sight you mention? just a comment/idea.) thanks a bunch!
It is actually highly recommended that you DON'T raise mantis shrimp, given their ability (and tendency) to crack aquarium glass. They are also incredibly aggressive and will attack any being it comes into contact with, including humans. I commend those brave enough to raise them.
I want one one day so so so bad! Yeah yeah I know, research research research and set up proper habitat way way ahead of time. Still on my bucket list.
@@saltybrackishfresh thank you man I appreciate it🖤 I’ve been looking into getting a mantis shrimp for a couple to months and used your Chanel to learn about them
@@embxr0872 really? And here I thought this person was asking so he could budget accordingly. So sad that only the super wealthy who have unlimited resources and limitless cash flow are entitled to have pets. Guess I see your point...
Live feeding is good because it's something that the animal needs, let two animals fight just to record it and for your own fun it's cruel and unethical
@@Travis_20098 so you won’t complain to the owner of the video feeding other harmless animals to a Giant Mantis Shrimp, but complain when I ask for something he made a series on?
@@nyill3512 some animals, just like the mantis shrimp, need to eat alive preys, so you want that prey to not be capable of damaging your animal, let two animals fight is not something both animals enjoy and it's just useless, in other words yes, you are correct
is it unsafe to get mantis shrimps from overseas, I've been trying to find any stores in Australia but haven't had any luck, plus I am also trying to convince my parents that they are harmless creatures that wont hurt unless provoked,
I feed mine frozen food 2-4 days a week. And live food 2 days a week. He takes a day off after each live feeding because there’s a lot of food he needs to digest
@@saltybrackishfresh thank you man 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽I just got my first salt water aquarium and I started with a mantis shrimp everything good so far just wanna make sure mine is happy so do you think 2 days frozen and 2 days live would be ideal ?
@@1208logan1 yeah. Just make sure he eats the food and it doesn’t float around the tank and get sucked into the filter. That will make your tank dirty and high nitrates
@@1208logan1 the biggest thing is having clean water. So make sure to change your water every time u do a big feeding. And make sure he actually eats the food u give him

“Expert advice” *Continues to make fish fighting videos*
Will they break glass if they punch if so how often or what material tank do you use
When I feed my mantis shrimp I show it to him and he sees it and comes out of his cave then I drop it in the tank and he eats the food
Once they learn that you guys are friends they get super excited whenever they see food.
@@saltybrackishfresh yes that is very true! :D
Lmao love the video man
Would it be possible for a young mantis shrimp to live in a 10 gallon, and if so, for how long?
Do you think a 20 gallon tank will be good for a peacock mantis shrimp
It can work. I would say a 40 is better. But if you design your 20 gallon with lots of rocks and sand it should work great
@@saltybrackishfresh thank you man I appreciate it🖤 I’ve been looking into getting a mantis shrimp for a couple to months and used your Chanel to learn about them
@@saltybrackishfresh besides the tank itself, do you think the whole tank set up is really expensive
@@McLvin_ bro if your worried about expenses for said pet, don’t get a pet
@@embxr0872 really? And here I thought this person was asking so he could budget accordingly. So sad that only the super wealthy who have unlimited resources and limitless cash flow are entitled to have pets. Guess I see your point...
Link too buy one please
Bro you should bring back the fighting series and make Giant Mantis Shrimp vs Giant Mantis Shrimp. That would be a blood bath
That's just cruel

Dm me on Instagram
In one week how many times do I feed a mantis shrimp live feed?
I feed mine frozen food 2-4 days a week. And live food 2 days a week. He takes a day off after each live feeding because there’s a lot of food he needs to digest
