Last time i saw one was at Global Aquatics in Ontario call them and see if they still have him they might charge an arm and a leg though

I got raskall311's mantis, the small green mantis at his store OC Aquatic. I dont think I could have found a better deal. I am still looking for one more though, if anyone has a hitch hiker that they dont want.

You are welcome Sammoorefield. I thought his Mantis shrimp pretty good size and it has some nice color to it.

A peacock mantis is a bit large for my 12g nano. Maybe later if I decide I must have one I will get a larger nano to house one.

On a positive note, I discovered that my mantis likes flake food. Easy prey or maybe just lazy. Either way im glad to see its eating.

This is what it looks like.

I sometimes used to feed mine small feeder goldfish. Really cool to see them hunt the goldfish down.

I am looking for a "second hand" mantis. Something that somebody doesnt want. Like a hitch hiker thats headded for the toilet or a unwanted pet.
