Smithii Mantis shrimp to a good home

[gkaquatic]

i have a smithii mantis shrimp that needs a good home. i plan on moving soon so i need to find her a new home. wish i could keep her but i have two other tanks to worry about.

have had her for about a year in a 5 gallon tank and eats very well. from frozen silversides and shrimp to live hermit crabs and snails. once housed with a blenny so may be fine with a fish, even though when housed with a fish she stayed hidden more.

i live in columbia station, ohio. pick up only and only serious lookers, that really want a mantis, not just a shot in the dark. more then willing to help get someone get ready to keep a mantis. asking $40 obo (maybe trade for tank equipment)

When do you have to move/get rid of her? I have a 12g nanocube that I'll be transferring to my new tank in the near future and I was looking for a new use for it. A mantis tank might be perfect.

not sure how soon im moving but i dont want to deal with it last minute. just thought id try and find her a good home, instead of rushing and just giver her to a store or someone random thats not really pumped on getting a mantis.
