1 down -2 to go!

When I got my rock from TBS and heard the "click" I figured it was probably mantis-talk. Ended up seeing 2 of them about 1 to 1 1/2 inches long. They lived at different ends of my 150gal. I have tried the trap to catch them and been 100% disappointed. They don't seem to be interested at all.
About 2 weeks ago while looking around I spot a monster...about 3.5 inches and huge compared to the other 2. No luck with the trap either. Better luck with holding a piece of shrimp on a skewer close to where I thought he lived. Sure enough he comes right to the edge at mealtime ...where I could try and get him to ease out more and more. I'd take the skewer with shrimp on it and when he would come at it I'd try to spear him...he runs away but comes back etc etc. Eventually he gets ****ed or whatever and his judgement slips. After several days of this ritual I finally got him!! I whooped bigtime..I got a few pics here and have a guy at my LFS who wanted him so he didn't get the toilet treatment. Now....if I could only get the other 2.....patience!

Why don't u make asall desk tank and put one in there? I'm sure he would be quite happy in there rather then in a toilet.
