Where is the best place to buy a peacock mantis?

[Reefjunkee]

I was thinking of turning My 24 nano into a mantis tank and was wondering is there any online vendors where You can buy a peacock mantis?

Stomatopod.com is your best bet. They sell identified mantis shrimp, and WYSIWYG. They also sex them for you so you know if it is male or female.

I went to their sight and they dont have any it looks like.Do they sell out as fast as they get them in or something?

They had quite a few for a while, but they sold out. They are a new business and still establishing themselves. However new shipments are coming in soon, and they usually hold them for a week or two to check health, make sure they are eating etc. before posting them.

yeah, They need to get on there suppliers, Seems like there suppliers can be a pain.

We just did a group buy in our club abd went through stomatopod.com. "probably the reason they are sold out" But they are top notch.

Customer service is top notch and the specimans all came in super healthy and eating right away. They take very good care of there animals and would highly recommend them

Will they sell to individuals or just to stores/dealers?

 

[Pea-brain]

They sell to individuals. I have 2 (a p. ciliata and peacock) coming in this week. I hope to have them shipped out tomorrow so I can have them by Wednesday.
