    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.

    • @MantismanTM
      @MantismanTM  8 років тому +5

      +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.

    • @Ripa-Moramee
      @Ripa-Moramee 9 місяців тому +2

      ​@@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.

      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.

    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.

    • @notsauer

    • @MannyFresh1x
      @MannyFresh1x 8 років тому

      +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?

    • @porpus99
      @porpus99 8 років тому

      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.
