[rogerwells]

i have a tank all ready for a mantis but i cant find one anywhere.....does anyone have a hitchhiker that they need to get rid of? or anything.


thank you

you can try old orchard aquarium...the last time i was there they had one for sale...it was kinda pricey...i think they wanted 75 but dont quote me on that....here is the number if you want to call and ask them .....1-847-676-8539

 

[rogerwells]

thanks...i called and they said they had a peacock that was around 3 inches long for 80...thats like thirty more dollars then if i just ordered it from online...is that a good petshop i have never been there?

anyways

anyone else either have a mantis or know where one is being sold?

 

[civicss1]

yea its a decent priced store...they have too much stuff in the store. i would purchace from them again... the staff is well trained.. i bet if you order it online you will end up spending about the same cause of shipping but its up to u ....i would go to Orchard,,,,thats just me....

 

[rogerwells]

oh...i added shipping costs...all together with shipping its like fifty....plus my dad said that its too far away and he wouldnt let me waste gas for an 80 dollar shrimp when i can buy a whole bunch of shrimp from jewls for 5 bucks

sharkys reef has 2 of them for sale in the members section 30 bucks and 50 bucks

 

[Zoalander]

You better hurry Rogerwells, I'm going to sharkys sometime this week and buying both muahahahahahahaha. Just kidding but $30 and $50 sound like a good price.

 

[rogerwells]

yeah i think got dibs on the thirty i think

 

[rogerwells]

soo anyone more local that maybe would want to give me one fore free? eh?

 

[Pufferpunk]

I think $30 is the best you're gonna do. I'd grab that up, before someone else does!

 

[rogerwells]

yeah....but i dont know when the hell im going to have time to drive up to gurnee mills

 

[gotfish8]

Why don't you put in the title does anyone have a mantis they can deliver to my door for free



Sorry to be a ****but this is your second thread on a mantis
It to far it to expensive ********BOO HOO**********

 

[rogerwells]

if your sorry to be a [violation] then why be one at all? dont comment if you are going to talk like that....this is a friendly site....leave if you are going to act like this

 

[Zoalander]

The $50 one is sold, the $30 one is left, but for how long?

 

[Pufferpunk]

Sometimes it does take getting out of your comfort zone & putting forth a little effort to get what you really want.

 

[rogerwells]

yeah i know...im getting that thirty dollar one from sharkys....i just wanted to see if there was a better value somewhere else...i dont see what the big deal is with wanting to get a good value on something.....i spend more money on my tank then i do on my care and girlfriend combined already....im not going to buy something for thirty that i can get for 20 or 15...but now that i know i cant and that i know the people at sharkys are cool im going to buy it from there...im also getting a pom pom crab from them at the same time i get the mantis...should be sweet.

 

[Pufferpunk]

Can they live together?

 

[johj26]

is the pom pom the first meal for the mantis your a hell of a guy to treat him to a crab dinner on fat tuesday

 

[Pufferpunk]

I don't understand the unwillingness to pay $30 for a mantis & then feed it a $20 dinner.

 

[johj26]

well he wanted the 50 dollor mantis you buy the 30 dollor one feed it a 20 crab and you get the 50 dollor mantis.but seriosly you should do more research into what your buying you really cant keep anything with a mantis not even another mantis without it making dinner out of them,its basicly best left to someone who knows what it is and can handle it correctly.
