CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Is the mantis shrimp freshwater or saltwater?

1. Is the mantis shrimp freshwater or seawater?

Seawater. Mantis shrimps are all marine, and the predatory shrimps originated in the Jurassic period of the Mesozoic era. Most species live in tropical and subtropical waters, and a few are found in temperate waters. They are found along the coast of China, among which the wide-temperature species of the family Mantis shrimp, the genus Mantis shrimp, is the most widely distributed and has the largest output. Mantis shrimps are mostly burrowing, often digging holes in the sand or mud bottom of shallow seas, and the holes are mostly "U" shaped. Stomatids are carnivorous and mostly prey on small invertebrates.

Stomatidae are carnivorous and mostly prey on small invertebrates. This type of animal can make sounds by rubbing the ventral surface of the tail segment with its tail limbs or striking with its predatory limbs. Mantis shrimps are ferocious and have very sharp eyesight. Because they are good at swimming, most of their prey are benthic organisms that are not good at swimming, including various shellfish, crabs, sea urchins, etc. They can easily break the outer hard shell of their prey and enjoy the meat inside.

2. Why can't the newly replaced seawater in the glass tank keep mantis shrimp alive? Is it okay to keep crabs?

Hello friend, if you can't keep mantis shrimp alive, it's not because of your fish tank problem, but because your nutrition is not good enough for shrimp. Crabs have strong resistance, so crabs are fine.

Mantis shrimp can be raised in fresh water without sea water.

How to say this, maybe the mantis shrimp needs sand or something

3. Can tap water be used to raise mantis shrimp?

No, tap water contains chlorine, which will damage the shrimp's respiratory system and kill the shrimp.

4. Should the mantis shrimp be left in water instead of being cooked?

If you don’t cook the Pixia for the time being, you can also put it in the refrigerator to keep it fresh.
