Hi all,
I have heard a sound in my tank since it was a few weeks old that I will try and describe. I hear it every night about 3 hours after lights out. I don't mind the sound but I don't want anything dangerous in my tank.
It's not really loud or violent sounding but it sounds exactly as if someone were tapping an empty snail shell against the glass. Not real hard but just a steady tap. It usually happens 2 or 3 times in succession. "Tick, tick"
I have heard that the mantis can actually break an aquarium. My 44 gallon corner is not very thick and it wouldn't take a lot to bust it. I have never seen anything associated with the sound and I have looked several times to try and find it. Of course as soon as I go over there it's silent for the rest of the night. I have one of those LED moonlights but have never seen anything unusual in the tank.
I have a scarlet cleaner shrimp in there as well but nothing else in that catagory.
Any clues? Any way I can verify?
