Well, I live over by Tampa Bay Saltwater in Tampa FL and they readily sell Mantis Shrimp for 10$. They can get you one anytime! I have read about these things being very expensive, and people seeking, and even desiring these nasty little buggers!! I have even thought about setting up a nano just to make some of you jealous! haha! Why are these little guys so sought after? I have read terrible and awful things about them- yet people still have that urge to keep them!!! It's just a little confusing, but as we're on the subject- I am considering a small 5 G Nano just to house one of these cool critters- so I can "join the club". Hey, at least I will always have an interesting dinner topic when guests come over
