My mantis tank.

Well it looks like its a pritty grown up G.T. anyway....perhaps it was at the end of its time being full grown (I sense this in Maximus my freakishly large G.graphurus).

Its sad ='[

But at least it lived the remainder of its years in peace and in a place truly dedicated to itself....if that isn't mantis heaven on earth then nothing is quite frankly....

R.I.P. lil' buddy!

So sorry. I always looked forward to your pix of him. Your skill with reefs shows in your pix of the mantis. Don't get discouraged

Because I tend to see my stomatopods (specifically the smashers due to there inquisitive and playful nature) as little puppies I a kin this to waking up one morning and seeing your new puppy dead on the floor...heart wrenching ='[

And that's why I post here for your support. Most ppl don't see mantis's in the same light as we do here. It's been a rough day to say the least. He will be forever missed.

I'm so sorry, Dana I, too, felt like my mantis was a puppy. Took a piece out of me when she died. Your mantis had a good life with you.

I'm sad to hear about this, so I can only imagine how you feel Dana. You have my condolences. Your guy was one of my favorite mantises on this forum and I always looked forward to seeing updates on this thread. At least you guys made a ton of good video together and you'll always have that to remember him by.

Oh, and that mantis was no puppy Dana, you kept a lion.
