Re: My fishy friends

Thank you. Mantis shrimp are insane creatures, so much fun to just sit and watch. I don't have room for another tank or it would be a mantis. The frogfish are stunning as well but a bit harder to get eating than a mantis.

No problem, and I know right? The first time I saw a peacock mantis I just couldn't take my eyes off of it, and it made everything else at the LFS not-as-interesting. It seems that the peacocks (the best kind by far) are more prone to shellrot under reef-friendly lighting so it looks like I'd be limited to very basic corals if I go that route but that's no biggie.

Is your frogfish eating live or have you converted to f/t? I've read someone say that they will die eventually even after being converted to f/t because of their innate desire to eat live food.. so I think some people offer it live food once in a while especially when it goes on strikes, but I am just relaying what I've read here that may not even be the most accurate information!

I really like fimbriated eels too, ah... there is nothing more fascinating than saltwater species in my opinion..
