Where to Buy Mantis Shrimp Online

[Jacwil]

Never heard of a Smithii getting shell rot period.

I googled smithii's and shell rot and did note that Doc Roy did state that he "...did not remember ever seeing shell rot in G. smithii."

I have been looking at the specimen listed on BlueZoo for two days and just can't overlook the white spots on it. I cannot tell if they're on the stom or if it's simply debris in the water column.

i was just looking at that smithii again and it does look like to me like the spots are on a lens or deebree in the water but i also noticed the points on the telson look to be missing or blunted somehow, it's been a while since i've had a smithii but i'm prety shure they should come to a sharp point

i agree this should be cleaned up and made a sticky... Thank you for your work on this list, it's really helped

If anyone is interested I am selling my female peacock because we are moving across the country. I wish there was a way to keep her, I have grown quite attached to this little thing. I'm in Vegas so if any one is nearby send me a PM.

That's kind of a funny typo in their description, but yeah, it does say 8 feet long. I think you would need a minimum of a 1000 gallon tank for that. And I'll tell you this... You couldn't pay me any amount of money to wrestle an 8 foot mantis shrimp into the tank. You'd probably have to hire Sea World to transport it.

That G. Ternatensis is really beautiful. It's a good thing that I don't have room for any more tanks. I'd go broke!

 

[Jacwil]

Lol...I just asked our twins which they prefer: our existing puffer or rehome it and get the tern...they elected for keeping our spiny box puffer. Oh well...kids first lol.
