Few Questions

[ridinfast03]

Hey guys/gals

I am not new to the hobby by no means but have never had any experience with mantis or hardly anyother shrimp. I guess I have really only had a skunk cleaner and thats it really.

How well do they do with a tank with a few fish?

I do have lots of coral but I read in a previous post that it needs to be secured, what are some other suggestions?

What fish eat them?

Can you guys just give me some random help with mantis and other shrimp do's and dont's

Eventually I would like to have a peacock but also want my skunk cleaner.

mantises are not true shrimp-they are stomatopods. They will most likely eat any shrimp or crabs they can find. They are also not truly safe with any fish. While some may cohabitate with a fish or two (or even 20) others will kill them all, or ignore them for a few months and kill them once they feel safe.
