Mantis availible in Atlanta

[willtel]

I finally trapped what I hope is my last mantis last night and thought I would offer him here before he goes to the LFS. He is about an inch long and yesterday he was very dark blue with red legs. This morning when I got up I looked in the small container I have him floating in and found that he had molted over the night. Now he is more green and doesn't seem to have as much color. I would prefer local pick up but I guess I could ship him but I don't know how well he would take it because of his recent molt. I'll get some pics tonight when I get home.

I got dibs if you are willing to ship to Toronto.

I'll take him

I was curious I am in Cobb County so could come by and pick him up. I had a question tho. Will he be ok in my reef tank. I have a banded shrimp already and some damsels...Fixing to put a sailtang and a yellow tank in my tank . Let me know I probably can come by this weekend if you agree...

The local pickup would be great but I don't know if I would consider him reef safe. They will eat snails and hermits. If you still want him you can come get him.

I wouldn't put a mantis in a tank with tangs, or with the shrimp.

i would put the mantis with any other shrimp or really any inverts unless ur feeding the to the mantis i wouldnt trust it aorund fish either,Chris
