mantis shrimp

[Pea-brain]

Hi. Im one of the wierd people who buy mantis shrimp ( Its ok. Im used to getting wierd looks when I leave the mantis shrimp forum :rollface: ) And I was wondering if you ever find Mantis shrimp other than N. Wennerae? I know that there are several types from florida most people on the mantis forum would be willing to pay for (N. Curacaoensis and O. Havenensis being good examples) So you ever find other types? If you did how much would you be willing to sell for? You should have a WYSIWYG page on your site for more interesting hitchers you catch on your rocks. Im not really looking to get another mantis just yet, but in a month when I upgrade my p. ciliata (Another one that is occasionally found in florida) to a 20 gallon my ten will be empty......

Thanks for the answer!

Ive never ordered a mantis from you. I was planning to get wennerae next from you though. I think the person your thinking of might be my friend chris. Hes on the forum as infalible- one or something like that. I think his just got used to his environment and just came out of its burrow for the first time since he got it. I got my mantis from liveaquarias diversden

I just moved to vassalboro recently actually. I still keep in touch with him though. I guess I should change my RC thing. Anyways, as for the question, I am very interested in a few species that could be found down in florida, and may even want a female P. Ciliata to attempt breeding (near impossible, but I think I have a way thought up a way to do it. ) Is there anyway I could ask you to keep your eyes out for certain species or something? again, thank you.
