POV: you woke up in a transparent gulag while being watched by 2 celestial beings that smell like Mountain Dew and student loans, you then are forced to fight to death with a giant LGBTQ shrimp called Igor.

that's not a local fish store, that's a weapons dealer

3:44 Mantis Shrimp gets shocked by the crushing bubble of negative pressure the pistol shrimp’s claw produced

Man, there’s real risk of your tank getting destroyed doing this - those things can hit hard enough to break glass.

“ he’s pretty big he’s like 2 inches “ Me: I still have a chance

i want to see mantis shrimp vs your fingers.

6:16 nobody gonna talk about how smooth that was

Imagine being put into a tank, only to fight a killer shrimp that's twice as big as you and win

at 3:47 the mantis shrimp lost connection to the server

Them: *puts two of the most powerful shrimps in one tank* Also them: wE ReaLly THOuGht it waS Not GoNNa HaPpeN!

Wish we could watch the guys in the video getting attacked by a huge mantis shrimp! Itd be so entertaining to hear them say yoooo woo wooow dude as they get punched to death.

nice putting shrimp through fights for your enjoyment, very great.

I’m getting the impression that these fellas aren’t the sharpest tools in the shed.

I'm gonna stick my neck out and say that I don't see a Nobel prize in the foreseeable future for these two.

Holy shit bro noticed the thermostat go up 1 degree which was a direct result of the mantis shrimp and pistol shrimp fighting. Holy shit

It’s actually satisfying seeing the mantis shrimp break down something bigger than it.

The pistol shrimp is like the real life one punch man.

This is not nearly enough space for a mantis shrimp, they’re super smart and needs a lot of enrichment, damn shame

It’s 2AM rn and I’m watching shrimp boxing LOL😂

“When he said He’s pretty big he’s like 2 inches” I felt tht 🦍😂

Fact: the lowest point of your life is when you spend time watching shrimps fight to death

4:00 the mantis shrimp got 999 ping

Alternative title:Torturing mantis shrimp with pistol shrimp

Giant Mantis Shrimp : you look small, i can kill you ! Pistol shrimp : but i have a pistol ...

3:47 when you laggin

You're under arrest for running an illegal shrimp cage fighting ring. 🦐🦐🦐🦐

The fact that every hit from them raises the heat makes it feel like an anime fight

Shrimp: *does the thing that gives it its name* Male species: YOOOO YOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Dudes: *OMG for like 100 times* God: “whats wrong with these people calling me over a shrimp fight?”

Pistol Shrimp entering tank: Why do I hear boss music

Her: “hes probably out cheating” Meanwhile him:

Despite how messed up this is, content of animals fighting like this is extrordinarily entertaining for no reason

I mean it's one thing if they come across each other in the wild but dumping them in a tank together is a little fucked up man

The power of the pistol shrimp's snap actually depends a lot on the high water pressure in natural oceans, so in a tiny tank its snap is actually very feeble even the sound is loud.

At 3:43 The pistol shrimp got a good shot on the mantis. After that the mantis seemed confused

That mantis shrimp living like a gladiator

Her: Omg he is probably cheating on me Me and the boys: SHRIMP FIGHT BOYS

The concept of the video is cool, but is kinsa sad putting this two incredible animals in a fight to the death

Love to see the mantis and pistol shake hands, decide to join forces and break out of the tank

Take a shot every time you hear the word "shrimp" and "bro" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

mantis shrimp look like he was lagging

5:19 “oh n o, I’m stuck Step-Shrimp”

Bro acts like the mantis shrimp wants to get roasted by the sun and keep fighting the fucking temperature of the sun.

Dudes broke my eardrums over a mantis shrimp doing what they expected it to do.

I feel like this is morally wrong entertaining nonetheless but I can't help but feel that putting two animals in the fckn thunderdome is a little morally bankrupt lol 🍻

I’m just here after watching project power.

Mantis like, “not gonna lie, he literally just got me in my shin!”🤣🤣

Pistol Shrimp: Wanna be friends? Mantis Shrimp: FOOD

I'm genuinely surprised the pistol shrimp lived through all of this, mantis shrimp can literary one punch crabs and blast their limbs off too.

Your tanks too small, It looks like he doesn’t like making sharp turns to avoid the corner of the tank. Try a tank with more floor space. Keep his hidey-cave to one side so that the other half is open space where he can fight his prey. Think of it as his very own dueling arena! More open space will also let him spot his prey easier and improve his mobility so he doesn’t lose track of it constantly.

more like mantis shrimp, owner vs pistol shrimp... hes back there distracting the pistol shrimp when the pistol shrimp had his moment lol.

Dude said his shrimp was hiding, it was STUCK! 😂

Mantis shrimp: this is going to be easy Pistol shrimp: I'm packing heat

Mantis shrimp play safe. I think he got hit by the pistol and realize it quite dangerous for him

Bro just imagine Giant Mantis Shrimp vs Machine Gun Shrimp, that would be crazy.

Mantis shrimp: you can't have my power Pistol shrimp: I don't need your power

06:15 "ahahaaa nope"

Those mantis shrimps are one of the most scariest looking water creatures I've seen.

Uff cada uno es un titán en su respectivo campo así que un duelo de ambos es legendario 😎

this is like playing with fire in a igloo.

Anyone ever think about how many colours mantis shrimp actually have on them that we can’t even see

These guys aren't good pet keepers.

It's funny how the mantis shrimp came out like "what tf did you put in here"

I’m here because I found “lawn shrimp” in my dog’s water bowl

It's truly amazing to see the power of these small creatures. But I'm really not ok with putting them together just to watch them fight. It just feels wrong.

Girlfriend: he's probably out cheating right now Him: **watching intense fight**

poor shrimp, theyre just chillin and you put em together

There's something pleasantly archaic about watching people pit animals against eachother for sheer amusement.

Yeah I didn’t like seeing them fight. The pistol shrimp just wanted to get away.

if mantis shrimp were bigger, they would be fricking terrifying. just imagine hyper intelligent germaphobic-super strength shrimp chasing after you because it wants to eat your flesh

I'm not here to start a fight, but I think this is actually pretty mean. You lock two shrimp together in a tiny, tiny cage and watch and wait for them to fight to the death. I believe at one point one could even tell the pistol shrimp was afraid of the mantis shrimp. The reason the pistol shrimp was attacking was probably out of stress, because all living creatures have a survival instinct and have the capacity to fear for their lives. That mantis shrimp is a giant compared to the pistol shrimp. It was probably terrified out of its wits. I'm not trying to reason with anyone here because most people who enjoy these kinds of things just won't see my POV. But I do hope there are some ppl here who feel and think the same as I do. I don't believe it's fair to these shrimp to live for such a morbid purpose such as fighting to the death. They may just be "shrimp" to some, but like all living creatures they have some form of intelligence and emotions and deserve some respect in my opinion. Just saying. EDIT: If you don't like my comment, then ignore and keep scrolling. I said I'm not here to start a fight with anyone and I mean that. I'm entitled to my opinion, just like you're entitled to yours. Not everyone who watches stuff like this is going to like it. I notice there are people who agree with me, so I'm not the only one here who thinks this is mean. If you don't agree with me, then ignore me. I literally don't care to hear opinions from nitwits being thrown at me who overreact to the slightest of opinions who disagree with their strange taste in UKposts vids. Maybe stop wasting your adult life trying to pick fights with innocent people and go find something worthwhile to do. Leave people well enough alone who don't care to talk to you and actually mean it when they say they don't want a fight. Sheesh. 🙄

Mantis shrimp got Stunned that's why he sat there. You almost lost your Mantis shrimp.

03:50 Mantis Shrimp? That's a Mayweather Shrimp. Look at that footwork!

Thinking about it, and reading other comments, this reminds me of dogfighting way too much tbh, these are basically “gamedogs” but shrimps

0:14 bro did the SKADOOSH

Plot twist, you have to reincarnate as everyone of these beings that you have sacrificed 😅

"Bro where johnny?" -"oh hes in a boxing match" " -where?" RIGHT HERE!

when you said "mantis vs. mantis" my heart dropped like they announced a UFC fight..boutta make that pay per view cash

Someone needs to make this a cartoon series. 😂❤

kush is so intimidating man what a fucking sick animal, god really went off with this one

Project power brought me here

The pistol shrimp can literally Thano snap, it’s powerful enough to rip water apart getting so hot, that it’s hot as the sun for a sec, as unbelievable as that sounds it’s real and incredible

bro woke up to a beating sound 😭

Fun fact: That loud click is actually NOT a tiny sonic boom since the claws don’t close fast enough to the point where it breaks the sound barrier. Edit: pretty much everything. I’m wrong🤣

The mantis shrimp appears to be trying to hide at every opportunity. After a couple of shots from that pistol shrimp and he had enough. I think that the belt goes to the pistol shrimp, even though he is a fraction of the size of the mantis, he really packs a punch. It probably rattled the insides of the mantis, like a shock wave and if he had a towel, he would have tossed it in.

lmfao "pistol shrimp could win but hes not using his power right now"

First time ive seen a mantis shrimp take an L

This is basically Super Shotgun vs Sentinel Hammer

4:46 Pistol be like:“ Imma chill here for a sec ” Mantis be like: “ Peek a boo ☠️”

damn these kids got me watching shrimps fight each other lol

I like this guys friend in the video “I wonder if the mantis shrimp can see him.” Yes he can, their eyes are insane

The anime fight we've all been waiting for.

Pistol Shrimp: bruh, never bring a knife to a gunfight Mantis Shrimp: i don't

Pistol Shrimp: *jukes Mantis Shrimp* Mantis Shrimp: *connection interrupted*

Tyson shrimp vs Crip shrimp (strapped on)

5:36 HeS hiDInG UndEr HeRe We haVE To MoVE It. The poor shrimp being forced to take 50mph punches from a giant shrimp 20 times his size while 2 people laugh at his suffering: IM HIDING FOR A REASON!

Well, that sucked. Pistol shrimp was fighting WAY outside his weight class and we didn't even get to see the result of the fight.

hey man.. at the video timeframe 3:36 to 3:40 i can see some weird faces reflecting at the bottom left of the aquarium glass. is there a TV screen on the back facing the aquarium? im just curious maybe im just seeing pareidolia

Great video showing how to not look after your aquarium or livestock
