    Mantis shrimp eggs

    in General Reefkeeping_

    Posted

    So i bought a mantis shrimp 3 days ago, the common name is false mantis shrimp (Pseudosquilla ciliata).

    Its was not eating anything hence i plan to bring it some feeder fish today. But i saw a lump of yellow eggs between its limbs. So is that the problem that cause the mantis shrimp to not eat. And will the mantis shrimp be eating while he cares for his eggs? Oh and can someone tell me how to raise the baby mantis if they are born?(but they are probably not fertilised)

     

    Oh and i cant post pictures. See my post about how my fish dies after a few days i took its photo.

    Guide to how to get scorpish to eat frozen food*

    in General Reefkeeping_

    Posted

    Okay today i am feeding my (rhinopias?) And i ran out of live food, so i tried to lure my scopion to eat a frozen none smelling shrimp, so first i tried hanging infront of him then dropping it to get its attention, then i drop it again and again them i used a chopstick and make the shrimp move alittle then bingo it ate it. This might work for other fish so i just post it thanks!

    ULTRA BUDGET OCTOPUS REEF TANK?

    in Members Tank & Specs

    Posted

    You already know it yourself.  1 gallon is way way too small for an octopus, and that is an understatement.
    Not meaning to be rude or anything, but don't even think about adding anything into the tank.  You will only be crowding out the limited space, reducing the water volume and sending the nutrients way up higher than what I suspect is already very high  That it is surviving, doesn't mean it is not suffering.
    Please do yourself and the poor octopus a favour, and get a bigger tank for it.
    You will feel more at ease and so will the octopus.
    Yeah im planning to give it a 20 gallon about next month or in a few weeks. And yes i will buy a skimmer maybe not those 200 dollar skimmer but yeah i will get both. Thanks for reply!

    ULTRA BUDGET OCTOPUS REEF TANK?

    in Members Tank & Specs

    Yeah so i sorta want another pico tank as my last one was converted into a large tank

    Buttttt my only pico tank is now storing a juvinile day octopus or octopus Cyanea

    It is eating freshwater shrimp, alive or recently terminated. So far the tank have a few rock for the octopus to hide in. And yeah thats pretty much it. And my father asked my if i can "bueutify" the tank, so i wonder what i can put into that already small tank. And the tank size is (PLEASE DONT HATE ME ITS A REALLY SMALL OCTO PLEASE DONT HATE ME) 1 gallon.... with no light. The filtration is a conventional pump the water into a sponge and let it flow out. And yeah. So far the octopus is okay, and the waste is okay so i have a few idea about what to put in it. 1. Tube worm 2. Sponges 3.macroalgae 4.nassarius snails or turbo 5. Your suggestion. So how? Any advice is welcome even crictisicim is welcomed.

     

    Ps my spelling is not okay so apologies if my spelling is somewhat wrong.

    Ps i cant put any picture as i have this cruse.... check out my post death photo

    Ps the salinity of the tank is 1.026-1.028

    Ps i have no test kit as im broke from buying the scorpion fish rhinopia i think......

    Ps im average in saltwater fishes and inverts, not in corals tou. Still noob.

    Peacock mantis shrimp not very active

    You’re intending to keep more than one mantis in the same tank? I think that is tragedy waiting to happen.. Even if your tank is really huge, there’s still a chance they’ll get into a fight and you might lose one.

    Feeding wise, a variety of foods is best. I give my peacock pieces of prawn, clams with the shell on and small live crab. Can get those from supermarket cheap. Sometimes will soak the prawn in Selcon too.

    If you have a spearer, can consider the occasional live feeder fish too. A bit cruel, but that’s just nature

    And btw what do i do if the new mantis shrimp doesnt eat anything that i offer but its behaving properly like its moving an hitting the feeder stick..
