Got Em'.......Now what?

Hey,

After making a soda bottle trap to catch a very annoying mantis, and never catching him, i finally caught him by dipping the rock in 1.06 SW. He came out after about 5 minutes. I took it out, and put it in a small container. Heis about 1 in. and is pink with brilliant green eyes.

I don't know what to do with it. I kinda want to keep it, but i couldn't have a tank set up for it for a few more days.

How should i construct a small container to put him in so that the container will float aorund in my sump, he wont get out, and there will be some water flwo int he container?

THanks,

CJ

Does anyone have an ID for this guy?

If you don't end up keeping him, I can take him off your hands for you. I live in the area and am looking for one.

Nice find, Not sure of the type... I would suggest taking a couple strayberry containers, and putting them open end to open end, so it makes a cage... tie them together with some cable ties...and your good to go... make sure he cant fit through the holes.... or gaps, they are escape artists

He is pretty small, only about an inch or so. HE does pack a pretty powerful punch, however. I was messing around with him and he puch the bamboo skewer. My hand actually stung from it.

Does anyone know the species of it?
