danlee, unless your mantis is *small* (as in less than an inch), artemia wont help you. hermits and snails are the best live smasher mantis food. seahorsecanada, I dont mean to block the sale, I just think it would be in the best interest to let others (who can make proper use of it) have it.

Man I feel like a brand newb again asking this but would adding a population of live brine shrimp aid in a reef aquarium down the line?
I'm just in the final cycling stage of my 72 and was wondering if it would be beneficial to do this or if it would be pointless.
I would enjoy watching the shrimp if they could/would establish a population and maintain it or even if they could get a head start on building a natural food supply before I start to add other livestock but I'm very unfamiliar with live foods in general and their application to a natural reef.
thanks...

Hi Whatigot, for your situation, I recommend you to get some amphipods or copepods if you would like to establish a population and maintain it as a natural food supply for a long term.

Hi VFX, I live in North Delta. If you work in Burnaby, I can probably meet you at King Ed sometime.

okay.
I suppose it's best to work on the basics first.
thanks all the same.

i'm just looking for something "alive" that my mantis would eat. i fed him a 3cm peppermint shrimp the other day and he tore it to shreds. Is there any freshwater shrimp that can survive an acclimation and be bait for my mantis? or any place i can buy cheap marine shrimp?

Hi danlee, I have some marine white shrimps approximately 2cm for my seahorse's treat. If you need, I will sell you for $1.5 each.
