Mantis Shrimp tank update


ADA Garden Mat. Basically a neoprene mat to replace ugly white foam that usually sits under a fish tank.


Whilst I set up his new home I moved Mr. Mantis into a breeder tank which just sits in my main tank. The guys on Reef Central have identified him as a male G. falcatus. Very aggressive and about as big as he’s going to get (phew!).


Ikea clip on lamp for now. Still no filter but I’m thinking of a huge Aquaclear 110 hang on back filter. I also need to find some very white and fine substrate (I knew I shouldn’t have thrown out all the substrate I recently vacuumed out of my display tank).

More updates as they come!
