Kinda depends on what predator means to you. Since the peacock is larger than the other shrimp but part of the same family, I wouldn’t consider it a predator. Others would because it’s killing it. It’s fine whatever you think.
You guys realize it hardly matters the size, either of them could've broken their shells or limbs in just one well placed punch. This is like putting a fat guy with a gun up against a skinny guy with a gun... A gun is a gun dude.
@@HiddenRealm Not a great analogy. A bigger gun beats a smaller gun. The smaller mantis has a smaller weapon. Which also means the bigger Mantis has more range with his bigger weapon, hits harder, and since he is big he is harder to kill.
@@HiddenRealm nope, it’s just like placing a big muscular guy against a small muscular guy. For comparison: “hehe big muscle against small muscle wonder who’ll win”.

The smaller shrimp did not have a chance. At least in the wild the smaller shrimp would have at least been acclimated to the water it swam in. In this case it was probably already struggling to get used to being dropped in water with different water parameters..
@@garlicbreadwarlock6054 oh thanks cause I was actually wondering the exact same thing because it took two days for the big one to finally finish the job I thought at first he was just testing so see if the small one would be hostile and then let it be but as the days went by he realized he wasn’t getting food so he assumed the small one had to be the food. Although I doubt a shrimp mantis can think that much lol
If it were a female, the Mantis would consider it as long as temhey are supplied with good food. But the Mantis would probably turn on her as soon as the food becomes scarce or he forgets to feed them for a while
Except most of these shrimps dont even meet each other because they live in different oceans therefore they dont eat eachother. Which is in fact animal cruelty

Your mantis will love the bigger tank this video funds! Add a deep sandbed with lots of rubble and he will make a really extensive series of burrows, they are so much more fun to watch while they are digging and arranging small rocks to make a fancy burrow entrance.
@@saltybrackishfresh They can make a crazy burrow labyrinth if the sand is deep enough, they actually take pieces of rock rubble and coral skeleton and use it to create supports under the substrate to hold up their burrows in loose sand.

@@bogyahunor Yea, he is feeding the peacock mantis shrimp it's not really supposed to be a fair fight. Like i wouldn't feed a rat to my pet snake but would feed it a mouse.

I don't mind these videos, it has genuine educational value and many of them would die, in a natural environment. That being said,I don't totally dig your intervention. Not sure why, but I dislike you moving rocks and pushing one out of hiding, forcing him/her to engage the other. What if, in the case of the Smithi (forgot SP) the small one was using cover as an offensive tool? Attacking from cover then making it's egress back within the defensive confines of its hole,rock,gap,perforation, or whatever. You have intervened and removed any genuine feel the interaction had and we miss out on great natural moments like Samshrimp flipping his lovely locks back and pressing that rock 😃
I agree and feel the same way. I'm not mad that the kid is interested to see what would happen, it happens in nature and it's cool to witness, but my unsolicited opinion/advice would be that the kid is a bit impatient, and he should slow down and allow for everything to take its course naturally,-- no interference. I would like to see what these smaller shrimp do to defend themselves without human hand tossing it out into the open and ensuring certain defeat, and also lowering the smaller guy's confidence and ability to plan and defend/offend when ready. Sometimes in nature, even relatively often, the underdog wins. But not if he's assumed to lose and keeps being thrown literally into the claws of his larger opponent. Just my opinion on this, but I still enjoy the videos and find them fascinating and informative
Is no one else going to talk about how there is a guy who could a one eyed disabled man shrimp against a mantis shrimp more than five times in size and made them fight like it was Pokemon?
