i was at my lfs looking at somethings.....and this beautiful peacock mantis caught my eye...............they were selling it for like 10 dollars and i got it for 4 dollars...........he's in a 10gal tank with live sand and some live rock.......i absoutly love him and hopefully will get some picks in

hopefully he's not terribly big or you could have a very wet floor in no time.

he's about 1 1/2 maybe smaller right now..........

i need to call my lfs to order a mantis shrimp for me
they seem so awesome an i have extra tanksso i could easily set a 5 gallon up for one. i think i will call today. thanks for helping me decide to get a mantis rather than anything else
