G'day all, I'm new here.
My name is Nathan and I recently got myself a marine tank, specifically for a peacock mantis shrimp. I've had freshwater tanks for a few years now, but after learning about all the features of a mantis shrimp, I made the jump. Any advice is welcomed. While I'm here, does anyone know how breeding works with them? Can you keep a male and female in the same tank, or do you only introduce them for a brief period to do the deed?
How often do you guys feed? I've heard once a day from some, once every 3 days from another. I feed mine almost daily, but fairly small shrimp/crays, maybe 1/5 his size. Is that too much? I don't want to overfeed and kill him
