free mantis shrimp

[bluenassarius]

found him in a zoo colony. free to loving home
he's 1/2-1" looks greyish black and probably a basher. heard him pop the hitchhiker crab a few good times. pick up preferred tommorrow or friday. otherwise he'll be flushed down the drain.

i say bbq him on a toothpick.... is that wrong?

oh, btw, is that your wife in your avatar? she's gorgeous!

That is SOOO wrong. They dry out when you BBQ them. Steam them instead!

Wish he was bigger, Sam. I've been wanting to set-up a mantis tank for my boys, but I want them to be able to observe it easily.

karl,

feed him and he shall grow

i saw him peeping out of a hole. he didn't come out wilingly. i'm glad i caught him on my first try

I've got to get the tank set up first Was thinking of maybe keeping it in the garage.

I've really been kicking around the idea of buying that giant Zebra Mantis they have at Capital. $75 is a lot, though

Yummy ... mantis shrimp is really good. :rollface:

sam,
can i borrow him for 4 days if someone has already claimed it? otherwise i would like to keep it if not already promised to someone. i am setting up a tank in my son's kindergarten class next week. i am stocking it with items from my established reef tank, so there will be little to no cycle. his classroom is making corals this week and next week is open house where these items will be on display.

shawn!~)

 

[bluenassarius]

shawn,

nobody's claimed him yet. if you want to hook up today i'm actually going to be in s. sac later in the afternoon.

 

[sagitariuscbc]

sam,
i would love to have him! let me know what you like for me to do to make this happen. i can meet you where ever you prefer.
thanks a lot sam!

Now I can just imagine little kids getting their fingers split open, when they decide to put their naughty hands in the tank.

 

[sagitariuscbc]

xia,
thanks for thinking of the children's safety! i will be sure to take the necessary precautions to see to it that they make it to the first grade with all 9 digits intact you know the old saying safety first!~)

Shawn - just put some gloves on him:lol:

 

[lilleahseafreak]

if the thing is some how not picked up by fridays meeting i'll take him. i have a non-reef 8 gallon set up and ready for any neat pest kritters including shrimps, anemones (even aptasias and manjanos are more than welcome) and crabs. so every one do not flush (or BBQ) the unwelcome guests you find. i'll gladly take em.

 

[sagitariuscbc]

so i guess i'll have to wear the white helmet and the violet outfit!~)
