I am building up my new 132g as you can see from my gallery. It has been cycling for 3 days now. Ammonia is spiking now so nothing special just wait, wait, and more wait…
However, I can already hear click, click things going on in my tank for the past 3 days. Not sure if I got a mantis shrimp in there or not but definitely got at least one pistol shrimp because the other day when I added liverocks one pistol ran out from 1 of the rocks and I caught it and put it back into the tank as I heard they are good for stirring up sand and they are good scarvenger as well.
So if I have got a mantis shrimp and pistol shrimp in the tank if they happen to meet each other (it is a looooong tank) and fight who will win? I was hoping the pistol shrimp will win because I heard mantis pray on crustacan (did I spell that right?). I want to know this because I am thinking of putting my cleaner shrimp into the main tank later on (he is currently in my nano). I was worry if the mantis will win over the pistol then I can’t put the cleaner in because it will surely get killed by the mantis. But if the pistol will win there is another question: will it co-exist with the cleaner?
Whether I have mantis or pistol in there it is too late to take them out now. I just want to know if I can add my cleaner into the tank or not. This will mainly a tangs fish tank so I thought the cleaner can at least do some cleaning job for the tangs.
