Ok. I think I will put the mantis (if I find any on the lr) in tubs then. A large tperware (like 18”x12”x6” deep) with seran wrap then a air bubble would work right?

Not really. I wouldn’t know what to do with one though if I found one besides kill it or put it in a Tub with a piece of pvc and a bit of macroalgaeThat person must be incredibly rich to risk keeping a gem tang with a mantis. Mantis are opportunistic predators, which means they will kill and eat fish if they are able to. That's not very easy, especially for smashers, so it won't happen very often, but it can happen at any time.
So the question you have to ask yourself is this: Do you want a mantis shrimp badly enough that you are willing to risk losing a fish to it?

Better idea would be to give it to your LFS. Most places should accept them, especially if they're colourful. You might even get some store credit for it.Not really.

I have a question about mantis. Do the gulf types bother fish a lot? I know the big kinds do but people say they don’t and I know someone has gulf mantis with gem tang
What do I do with them before the lfs tho
I took down all my fw tanks to set up my sw tanks. It was definitely a good idea.I think you should shut down your fresh waters and if you havent had copper in the tanks. Just start doing sw. You are the type of person who learns from doing i feel like. Lots of talk but i think your key knowledge will come from 1st hand exp.
You got this. Get salty noah. Lol

no I don’t care about having a dc pump rn. 400 gph from my hob then 400 gph from the powerhead sounds like enoughDid anyone talk you into upgrading the maxijet for a slw jaebo pump?

My mom doesn’t want me to break down my fw i don’t pay alot of attention to my fw because I designed my tanks to go Without maintenance for months but I still like to watch and feed my tanksI think you should shut down your fresh waters and if you havent had copper in the tanks.

No I can’t afford one right now. I’d wall myself from a skimmer until I want sps and things which I don’t seriously care about. I will probably build a phyto culture scrubber thing i saw on a thread into my tank which will make the water super cleanAre you getting a skimmer? Lol
