Mantis
 

Attention people of Calgary or even Edmonton.

If you ever find a mantis shrimp in your tank, Do Not Kill it.
I am interested in a small mantis only tank.
I will pick up.
Please let me know what you find!
Thanks.

will do

I'm pretty sure I have one but catching it is another issue.

You can try your lfs they are on the order lists :smile:

Iam sure I have one, it did all my hermits in a couple of weeks a go.
I still havint seen him though. Any one know how to catch one in a 5.5g tank?

How I caught mine was you find his cave and do a fresh water dip on the rock for about 5min. After I pulled the rock out he jumped out and I had myself a mantis.

I dont see a cave, I have heard of a pop bottle trap that works but Iam not sure how to get a po bottle in to my tank and have room for any thing else. Any one have any ideas?

outtafocus If I manage to catch mine you can have him. Iam in Calgary.

It might be a hole in one of the rocks. Or even a space between the rock & the sand he likes to hide at. It depends on the LR you have in your tank.

Big als in calgary has a gorgeous little mantis right now, about 4 in long or so.
