Dc, I already gave my mantis hitchhiker his own tank and name. I accidentally bonded with him...his name is montague

The worm will not be as lucky if I ever manage to catch it

LOL, I've had 2 mantis before. Fun little critters.

I pm'd LeslieH to see if she wanted to acquire it if you catch it. I'm not sure how you preserve them, toss in alcohol I think. She studies worms.

 

[ag09g]

That would be great if she'd want it, at least it won't have died in vain then!

There's clearly only one solution: Dropping a grenade in your tank.

Quoting Wikipedia:

Armed with sharp teeth, it is known to attack with such speeds that its prey is sometimes sliced in half. Although the worm hunts for food, it is omnivorous. It is also covered in bristles that are capable of a sting that results in permanent numbness in humans.

Permanent numbness? Sheesh... sounds like you better be careful.

Haha. Yah this thing is so creepy. Have to wear some armored gloves to keep your fingers intact and from bring stung

Horrible!! How'd you find it/get it out??

Their own tank?
If not at the beginning, well, soon thereafter...heh!

Thatt thing is terrifying... I would not be able to have a tank if my wife saw that... She has a hard enough time with the eel....

 

[SaltwaterSensei]

I would have a hard time killing such a wondrous creature...

That's why we have hammers, knives and fire.
