jw.. silent how big is your peacock in your 10g? I know Roy is on vacation... no I haven't tried the site.

 

[silent_assassin_e99]

he was about 5.5 to 6 inches, he just died a couple of weeks ago from that shell disease that peacocks are so prone to. im lookin for one of the small species that come from the keys or carribean live rock now if i can find someone giving one away....dont wanna go through that again.

Wow that sucks. Well you're looking for a Neogonodactylus Wennerae right? Just order some LR from Tampa Bay Saltwater and ur prone to get one. or u can just put on the "comments" Mantis would be appreciated. and they might throw one in for you.
