Thor Broke the glass thermometer in the tank!!!!!!!!!!

 

i was able to get as many of the steel shot little balls out using a magnet. Thank god he just broke that part and not the alcohol solution inside.

I hope this doesn't mess up the tank... gonna do water change just in case

 

If your heater is in the main display tank, make sure it doesn't have a light on it. They'll attack it. Make sure it isn't breakable as well.

 

Also, mantis shrimp will usually chase a laser pointer. Kinda funny.

Thor is harecore! To bad you can not train it to punch a tiny punching bag to release its aggression

That was great/ mean. Thor has learned that I am the food master and has become so sweet to me after our time together. I love him

 

 

It is so fun to watch him while I watch him. I am mesmerized his amazing animal

Dude, thats awesome. It's like a whacked out marine cat.

 

But hey, try it and if it works it will be a great way to distract him when you need to do maintenance.

I just had a mean idea for that laser pointer....ever shine a laser pointer into a diamond?

Try giving your mantis shrimp a tiny Rubik's cube, like this...

Great thread! I'm planning on getting one of these tanks. ...Now I want a mantis shrimp! I've talked the guy at TB live Rock a few times. Nice guy.

 

I was thinking about using these lights instead of their 22 dollar LED's. What do you guys think?

I've used them for other applications before and they work well.

 

Can we see a full tank shot? I'm serious how your coral is growing.

 

Do you think this is too large for my wires desk at work? I was originally thinking about getting a 2.5-3g but, I love this thing!
