Hi everyone:
I recently got an unwanted 1" Mantis shrimp that hitch hiked on a piece of coraline algae. I need a temporary housing for it as i don't really have space for another >10gal tank. I did find a fish bowl (see pic) though. Wondering if i could just keep it in this with a piece of live rock/live sand and just change the water more frequently? Maybe even add an airstone to it? Currently the Mantis is in a tupperware eating frozen blood worms. I am not sure what i want to do with the Mantis yet but it maybe a temporary solution until i decide what to do with him?
