Clicking in the tank
Had the tank for over a year with no new rock added. This last week i am starting to hear clicking from the tank. Could that be a sign of a pistal shrimp? I have a 2" Clown, 4-5" Fox, and a 2' Eel should i be worried if it is a pistal or would the eel just take care of him.

Its always random and more then one click, so i dont think it is a hermit jumping.

id say it is a pistol if you start seeing sand dug out from under rocks and id say mantis if you don't .
"personally" i think mantis shrimp get a bad rap . they might not be good but they are not really all that bad either . either way , trying to catch one is more trouble than it is worth. |

mantis shrimp can be way cool but put your fingers near them and they will show you why it is they get such a bad rep.

I had a mantis that was a hitch hiker on some LR I had purchased. It was a clicking noise. When I found it I made sure I fed him well!

I have that clicking in my tank too, but I have never had any fish go mia, and efforts to trap have been futile. Short of getting rid of all my rock and starting over, I figure I am pretty much stuck with it.

When I got rock in Guam for my tank... I had 3 pistol shimp show up.... they were lots of fun to watch. I could see them through the bottom of the tank... open cabinet. They would make random sounds and mostly at night.
