help on picking a mantis

[Bababou]

Ok im asking alot of questions but i dont want to rush this... Im looking for a mantis thats going to stay around 4 inchs with good color.... I was sugested to get a Neogonodactylus wennerae but i have read that they are bland in color but have seen pics that show other wise... Any sugestions that fit my situation... i have a 14 gallon seaclear acrylic to house it. Thanks for any input.

hey stick to the N. wenn that are smaller as to fit in your tank and they go through color morphs mine is yellow right now so much fun to watch I also have a peacock but he is in a 30 long because he is much larger then the female N. wenn GOOD LUCK

I have seen some cool looking pics of them a realy nice green was the best i saw... How much do they typicaly cost and how hard are they to find.

I would like to say they are easy to get because so many people get them on their TBS shipments are considered pests by many. The problem is that for every person that feels they are a pest there is 2 in line waiting for one of the guys. The N. wenn is the easiest and cheapest by far to purchase, most people will just be wanting to give them away if I can find a peacock I will give you my little girl, ill keep you posted though if I find anyone else with one.
