A comment made:
"Stomper, if you are well-informed, these shrimps are called "Mantis Shrimps' and are kept that way so as to disable them from using their pincers that can pack a powerful punch with a force of 60kg.

Breeding them in a normal tank will only endanger the animals more. Their punch can easily break a tank, and would leave them gasping for water on the ground.

Pays to learn more, Colin."
