Strange request from me, but in the last couple of months I have lost all but my peacock.

Just lost my smithii this morning.

I got a 5 gallon that needs a centerpiece

He's not far from you, either. Only one I've seen lately that appears to be still not sold.

Maybe you could trade your octopus for it. lol

No chance. You have any idea how much money I have spent setting up a tank for a $30 animal? Besides I am very attached...to him

I seen a new one @ Gold yesterday. It's all orange with HUGE white claws. It just came in. First time I've seen one like this and have no clue what type it could be.

Weird. You sure it was a mantis?

I just called Dennis and said no?

He told me it was a mantis yesterday.

Looked like a mantis body with giant white claws.

Go figure.

Edit:

I just called him also and he said that it's some kind of snapping shrimp and was just written on the shipping list as a mantis or something like that.

i know where you can find some BIG peacocks- they are frozen though

I would be relatively secure in saying those hit the BBQ about 6 pm last night.

Haha

That was amazing. Poor peacocks

where did you get your smithii from?
would you be interested in my haptosquilla stoliura mantis?

rudy · #10 01-21-2007, 09:11 PM

Smithii aren't hard to get anymore. Just keep looking.

Not interested in yours sorry.
