[Killerdrgn]

well at least you can put it in the freezer, and then feed it to a new mantis.

 

[DrCooper]

i flushed him! was freaking me out
where can i get a new mantis?

 

[Keith P]

Coop, thats a shame. RIP little guy.

Is flushing a possible problem? Hope he wasn't playing possum....

Did you want the yellow? Peacock Mantis look sick. I've never seen a yellow before.

 

[Killerdrgn]

Yeah their selection is pretty impressive and I've only heard good things from people who have purchased from them.

All this mantis talk makes me want to convert my old 6g eclipse into a mantis tank.

let me know, we can order together and save on shipping maybe

 

[DrCooper]

So the 6 gallon is now home to my chocolate chip starfish while it awaits its end via my harley!
great little tank so we see if a new mantis comes my way!

Can I really go to chinatown and get one?

 

[skene]

Yes... Mantis shrimp are eaten. So you can find them there. Just a matter on if they are still alive in the tanks or if they are on the ice shelving (don't think you want to purchase a dead shrimp).

Wow, imagine though finding a gorgeous peacock or clown mantis alive and I would assume its cheaper then what we pay for them!

I gotta see this, but I am scared of what I may see kinda
