상품특징
Mantis shrimp can be quite choosy when it comes to feeding – sometimes killing a live food item, seemingly as a territorial defense, but not consuming it. Most will, however, adjust to unfamiliar foods over time. They will, if you work carefully, usually accept dead food from a forceps (do not use your fingers, as serious injury can result). This takes time and experimentation – actually, it is quite comical to see them grab an unfamiliar food, retreat into their den, and then contemptuouslyDepending upon the species, mantis shrimp catch their food using either of two distinct methods. Those which “club” their food and shatter the shell or carapace (see Part I) can take small crabs, crayfish, snails, mussels and other invertebrates. Those that grab or spear their prey are best fed shrimp, fish and aquatic worms (the “prey bashers” will accept these as well).Most species thrive at temperatures of 74-80 F, and at salinities of 1.020-1.022. However, various species range from temperate to tropical waters, so please research the natural habitats of those you keep. Setting a light timer to mimic their natural cycle (i.e. varying the cycle for temperate species) will likely benefit their over-all health.A secure retreat, preferably a burrow below the substrate, is essential. Despite their fearless attitude, mantis shrimp will languish and die if forced to remain in the open. Providing a proper home will result in your seeing your pet more, not less, as it will feel secure enough to behave normally. Artificial rocks work well. Mantis shrimp will also explore rock and coral mounds, move incredibly large amounts of sand and gravel from one place to another, and sometimes manage to create quiteIn the case of ?Dead on Arrival? you must CONTACT US BY PHONE OR EMAIL WITHIN 1 HOUR OF DELIVERY.

Tank Requirements Aquarium Size and Physical Set Up Although water quality is more easily managed in large aquariums, small mantis shrimp do quite well in 10 gallon aquariums. Individuals longer than 8 inches or so do best in a tank of 20 gallons or larger. A secure retreat, preferably a burrow below the substrate, is essential.

Providing a proper home will result in your seeing your pet more, not less, as it will feel secure enough to behave normally. Artificial rocks work well. Mantis shrimp will also explore rock and coral mounds, move incredibly large amounts of sand and gravel from one place to another, and sometimes manage to create quite stable burrows of their own. Filtration can be quite simple for small aquariums, (i.e. an under-gravel filter). Larger aquariums will require a suitably powerful canister or other filter. Mantis shrimp are reasonably hardy as concerns water quality but are, like many aquatic invertebrates, quite sensitive to air-borne chemicals. Fumes from cleaning products, paints, floor waxes and such may be introduced into even covered aquariums by the filtration system, and can be toxic to mantis shrimp. Unexplained aquarium deaths can often be attributed to chemical poisoning. Feeding Depending upon the species, mantis shrimp catch their food using either of two distinct methods.
