DaddyJax · #5 07/04/2005, 12:55 PM

I watched it. It had cool music but would like to see a successful attack!

ScarFish · #6 07/04/2005, 04:48 PM

I'm diggin the music! Yeah, I would like to see him catch something too!

Zoalander · #7 07/05/2005, 12:09 AM

I saw it, I think I want one now.

I liked seeing him zip around, but I didn't dig the music (someone has to be a dissenting voice...). I guess I'll have to add Myrksokg/Naglfar/Origin to mine...

Anyone know a free site that hosts video? If so, I'll get to uploading clips of my various monsters blasting apart crabs/ghost shrimp etc...

I went to a LFS today here in San Francisco and my friend (manager) let me feed a bunch of the triggers/puffers/lionfish and anglers.
Fun times.

Cool video

thanx for the comments guys, its cool hearing what people think, to be honest i didnt think many people would dig the music so its cool that a couple of you do. ill try and upload some successful attacks, i just didnt know how people would react if i showed the real side of lord damage, the evil :P Uriel if you wanna host your own videos http://www.filefront.com/ is free and its pretty good, they do monitor files for illegal stuff but your mantis videos should be fine, it would be really cool if you could upload them

yes he caught the molly and made a mess of it... although i didnt have the camera with me at the time....

Music and video were both on point. Makes me wish I set something up for the little killer I caught awhile back.

rogerwells · #18 07/07/2005, 04:36 PM

i told her about how they can cut threw skin to the bone and about how they have power to crack the glass and she said no way....then my idiot brother told her they can live three days out of water so now i cant even put in an argument to get one

lmfao dude if you get hit by one its you own fault i think.... get an acrylic tank, they cant crack that and i have never in my life heard of a mantis shrimp trying to get out of water, when ive seen them out of water they curl up into a ball.. they are really no harm unless you put your fingers right near them and they really are the coolest thing to have.. good luck trying to get one, take your mum to a fish shop and they will tell her that its not a evil demon predator that can get out of its tank and beat you up while your sleeping
