ID on new mantis

[keithntracy]

This is Nanner. Our new addition. I looked thru the ID page and couldn't find a definite match. I'm thinking he may be too young yet to identify. Let me know what you all think. Whatever he is, he's adorable!!

That's an easy one. I have one just like that. It is called Pseudosquilla ciliata or P. ciliata . http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/arthro...acostraca/royslist/species.php?name=p_ciliata
go there for more info.

That's what I thought but I wasn't sure if he was a spearer.

Put a guppy in there or a damsel and see what happens :0

gorgeous, P. ciliata. always wanted one myself. I love the golden colour morphs of these guys.

 

[keithntracy]

Will he stay this color? He is a spearer then right?
