Got another mantis

[rudyistaken]

From what I can tell from my limited knowledge he is a Odontodactylus havanensis. He is cream color with red along the edges. Smasher. This morning he has a bit of brown pattern on his back. I will try to get some pics. I have him in a 6 gallon tank on my desk.

He caught my eye at a fish store here as he was on top of the over flow literally braining damsels trying to catch one.

I had to have it!!


These guys could get addicting. Now I have a ciliatis and this guy and on the look out for peacock as I stupidly sold my last one.

Now I think it is a Gonodactylus chiragra.

Creamy color and red legs like this. 6 gallon glass is going to be to small hey?

This one is very interactive though

I have my G. chiraga in a 6 and 5 rspectively. That's fine for them, although bigger means better with regards to water quality,room for the little monster to move ,etc...

I will be moving mine within the month to 2 mantis condos that I am setting up.
