so ive had my tank for almost a year now, and this morning i am super mad...
recently i added a sexy shrimp and a small cleaner shrimp, well one morning the lil sexy just up and disappeared... i had no clue who could of possibly killed him, so i decided to take out both my clown and my sixlined(he was attacking the cleaner) and only keep my small goby and other inverts in the tank... (i also removed a crab with black claws) so now i think im ready to begin my sexy shrimp tank, i buy 2 more sexys and one extra cleaner..
well last nite for some reason both my cleaners must of been smoking crack because they started attacking my GBTA so i remove both of them... so last night the only thing in the tank was my 2 sexys and my randalls goby (he is about an inch long)...
so this morning i woke up and no sexys are in sight.. i hear tiny clicking every now and again but i thought it might be my GF's tank next to mine cuz her hermits are always hitting there shells against the glass. but a few months ago i had to extract a mantis shrimp that came to my tank when my dad's tank crashed and he had a rock with some zoas on it and the mantis.. now i know the traits of mantis shrimp but i havent seen this one yet, anybody got any ideas on how to find him without taking every rock out of the tank and cracking it in half?? =]
so the worst choice i made coming into this hobby was buying live rock from GULF-VIEW.COM, the guy told me the mantis shrimp "werent in season" BULL ****!!!! ever since i went to that guy and got that rock it was nothing but problems, i found tons and tons of bad creatures all over these rocks... and i thought that i have finally extracted them all!!! but now im left to wonder what exactly is still in my tank..
just another case of not doing enough research before you purchase somthing in the marine aquarium hobby.. :sure:
