Well, it's that time again, another Juan thread, I took my frag tank and converted it into my new Mantis thread.
I hooked this tank to the main system so no need for extra maintenance.

The LFS recently received a Peacock Mantis shrimp by mistake, when I saw it under the incoming livestock listing I immediately called to buy it.

Here is an Introduction Vid, I will take some pics of the overall plumbing, rockscape and few other details:

You can put higher resolution.

I will get the Peacock in here tomorrow so more vids coming soon.

LOL, I think so too, hopefully he will be a happy dude :)

Juan, are those mangrove shoots underwater?

Yes sir, and I don't think they will last 10 seconds with the mantis in there LOL

I still say you should ship it to me :)
