So do you guys feed yours fishies?

That is AWESOME! And that last pic is hilarious lol

My concern would be any of the weird chemicals the fish are exposed to before the new goldfish died, copper based medications, etc. and also the calcium levels in the fish. Not sure if there could be enough in the fish to throw off the mantids next molt or not. Although some Tarantulas will catch fish and apparently molt OK.

Scott is a sick *******. And looky, it's a Budwing mantis, those gals are pretty aggressive.
