Baby Mantis Shrimp

[cweber]

Well while doing a little research, ive discovered that some of my pods, are not pods at all. They are baby mantis shrimp, hundreds of them. They are less than 1/4" long and they just go around fighting each other and the larger pods. Im wondering if i get an aggresive pod eater such as a 6 line wrasse, would they eat the shrimp while they are still small enough. Would any fish do the job as i dont think the wrasse would be happy in the ten gallon for long. Any suggestions are welcome.

you could try a six line, but I have honestly never heard of this problem before.

I would go ahead and say mysis as well. cause where there are babies there should be a mama and you would know if you had a mama in there.

Good deal. I have also talked to my lfs, which is where my LR came from. She assures me that they arent mantis.
