Loud sounds at night!

dont listen too carefully to the narrarator... and if you do, take it with a grain of salt, but the point of me linking this, is to demonstrate that pistols are predators and will indeed kill shrimp and crabs if they are hungry (and big) enough. Ive heard of one pistol that even killed off a mantis.

my mistake.

Man.. Ok my bad i found the crab but both my shrimp are gone.... The funny thing is, is that i dont see no carcass. Will the bottle trap work for the pistol shrimp as well? What a headache.

Well you have to realize that peps can be very secretive. Ive had a couple before that i couldnt find for days at a time. That and if they are eaten, a mantis could either eat the whole thing, eat some, throw it out and have your CUC eat the leftovers (which can happen surprisingly fast) or just bury the leftovers. Just a thought.

Im not convinced that pistols would be caught with a bottle trap but ive been wrong before. Worth a try at least.

I've tried the bottle trick to catch fish before, with adding some mysis shrimp in the bottle, and only ever caught my peppermint and cleaner shrimp with that trick. Stupid fish!
