The best place to get a O.S. Mantis?

[Thnikkaman]

Im getting ready to set up my mantis tank and im wondering where everyone else got there mantis. Im wanting a Odontodactylus Scyllarus and I know alot of fish stores will pass off other types of stomatopods as peacock mantis shirmp. So who has the real thing?

The best way, IMO, is to get familiar with the Mantis yourself. Get to know its distinguishing characteristics. I was told that my gonodactylus was a smasher, but then he tried to show me it in a book, but it was a lysiosquillid in the book. THEN he told me the peacock was a spearer. lol. My 0.02$

I have read up alot on them for the past few months and know the diffrences but im just wondering where some one else ordered a O.S. from that way i feel a little better about having the right one shipped to me. It would suck to pay 30$ and get something i could have gotten on a pice of LR.
