going to bed now, i set the trap again tonight, i dont think i'll get up tonight and look for him. i will just let the trap and mantis be and see if that helps. i dont want to be scaring him away with the light.

so far no sign of the mantis.
im going extreme now, im going to not feed the fish for a day or two. i talked to the fish guy at the pet store, (who has years of fish experience behind him, and has done tons of tanks, and tank setups) he said that pellets have worked the best for him. luckly my inlaws have a 175 gallon and they have the right pellets that they give their lion fish, so i dont have to buy a whole thing for a few pellets.
its going to be hard not feeding my fish, they are like babies for me, especially my puffer, he cant graise like the rest of them. i think i will still feed my puffer since i can take out what he dosnt eat.
i need reassurance thats it ok not to feed them
