few updated pics, i got a free baby niger trigger, and YES i realise the tank is too small but they are slow growers once he outgrows it in a year ill be buying a 200g system, for now hes smaller then my clowns and fits in nicley shows no aggression towards any of the other inhabitants
 arnold eating some cut up shrimp......cannibal  My BTA under just atenic  FTS atenic  shot of the trigger hiding in his cave, ill try to get more pics of him in the open......and yes for those that i know will say something again i know the tank is too small for a full grown trigger but hes only 1" right now and once he outgrows it ill upgrade   im pretty sure hes a niger, but when i get a few more shots ill ask for a positive ID,

Don't kid yourself there bud.... My 7" Peacock (Dr. Zoidberg) will catch and eat fish. He's a good swimmer and picks off blue/green chromis on a regular basis especially if I don't feed him EVERY day! He also devours any CUC I put in there.... He even ate a brittle star.

i do agree with you, BUT did ur peacock start off 1" long and grow up with the fish it ate? there very smart creatures and learn fast, there are many many success storys of people keeping fish with smasher mantids.....that being said every mantis is different
7" thats awesome what size tank do u keep him in? id lvoe to see pics
