Hi! I’m still trying to catch the mantis hitch-hiker in my tank. Seems he is smarter than me! I have a stupid question- what does everyone use to weigh the trap down? I zip stripped an air stone in it for weight but I think that the mantis won’t go near the trap with it there. Without the weight it just blows around on the sandbed and tips over.
My other question is- what is the best bait to use? I tried brine shrimp but only catch my goby. I tried frozen shrimp- all it did was rot in the trap. I’ve tried silverside chunks- nothing.
