I think they get very big-at least the ones my father ate are.

That a GORGEOUS mantis!

 

[Bob 1000]

He's 4 inches and I touch him sometimes... When I hand feed him..

 

[Bob 1000]

This is his home..12 gallon JBJ... Runs very hot... 88 degrees sometimes so I leave the tank open a lot and through ice cubes in the back center baffle...

Be careful Bob. That could be a surefire recipe for a trip to the emergency room to reattach a digit.......providing you can retrieve the finger from the shrimp

I like life on the edge, and I still jump when he takes it...

A peacock mantis shrimp have such powerful smashing claws that they are capable of breaking glass and shattering the bones of the human hand!

But can't kill the damsel that killed a goldflake angel...:splitspin

These Damsels are troopers...

I think you need 2 shrimp to make littleones!!

 

[daisy]

Um, you are HAND feeding a mantis?

Wow! You are seriously adventurous... Do you like roller-coasters, too?

you must be feeding him something much tastier than your finger, huh?

 

[Bob 1000]

Krill

 

[lfsmarineguy]

mantis can hit with the same force as a .22 cal which could easily mangle what was once part of your hand. It is still an animal and could very well strike your hand one day making you regret the thought of ever hand feeding him....or her. I know a woman who had one of those tiny shitzus(sp) and after 15 years of kisses from it the dog decided no more and ripped most of her upper lip apart, just goes to show you can never expect animal behavior.
