What Peacock Mantis???

Kevin

+1 for pics, if not consider this never of happened. Most of us have to sneak stuff through the back door when everyone is sleeping. LOL :mrgreen:

Just kidding you are a lucky man. It is a gorgeous mantis. I'll miss watching it chase the silversides around the tank,(aggressive eater). Enjoy.

I was really hoping Doug would feed it the other night when I was in there but it wasn't dinner time :sad:

you will love the mantis (is it an O.Scyllarus? i find sometimes the name peacock is given to random mantis shrimps at pet stores) i kept a scyllarus for a few years and absolutely loved it, truly amazing and fascinating creatures- bizarre looking with brilliant colors, very interactive with the bringer of food and other tank visitors (meaning people, any actual tank visitors were welcomed with a swift and brutal bludgeoning by the cocky mantis very impressive and fun to watch sorry my good snails and crabs you died honorably and left behind cool looking smashed shells for the mantis to decorate his always unfinished lair) and the intelligence of these things will blow your mind sometimes! anyway take good care of it and enjoy, i miss having one- RIP Bruce!

Yup it is in the tank now. I have the lights off so I will get pics tomorrow and yeah not sure what I am going to do to pay back this..and the boxer puppy I got 3 weeks ago......hmmm this will be huge:eek:

OH... pics on the boxer puppy as well.
Love them!!

Its a very nice mantis, lucky man

Coming from a fellow female, a full relaxing massage at a spa would be good payback. even if she's not a "spa type". Massages are awesome...as long as they are of the relaxing type, not the "get the knots out" type.
