Outtafocus's 2gal pico-now with more Mantis

[outtafocus]

Thanks for the kind remarks.
Of the four hermits and two snails I placed in the tank on sunday, only one snail and one hermit remains.

The damsel is still alive, but I do worry for him. When the damsel is scared (by me walking by) he will dive into a little cave area under the rock. But with a mantis watching over his shoulder I dont believe its the safest hide out. To quote JRR Tolkiens' The Hobbit, " Out of the frying pan , into the fire"

Chad, does your mantis ever drag the shell fragments back into his lair? Mine will do her smashing, eject all the fragments, so they are strewn all over, then the next time I look at the tank, I see all the shells stacked in her alternate entrance.
