Just so you all know the "mantis" at king eds isn't a mantis at all. I don't know what it is, but it certainly is no mantis. Don't get me wrong, king eds is a great place. Many a lfs know not much at all about mantids
the ghost eel isn't currently eating but it really is a wicked cool one. smallish too. Whoever gets MUST post a new thread. Last edited by justinl; 03-05-2007 at 03:34 AM.

Hi
What did they say it was when you questioned them? it didnt look like a mantis but i wasnt sure and dont know much about them. I bought the snowflake Eel and the Yellowhead Eel from king eds about 3 weeks ago... Lovelly creatures... and oh my they have grown...
Im still looking for another panther grouper.... anyone??? 3 inches or so? as i just upgraded my tank to a larger one and the small panther grouper can stay in the reed tank for a while. There was 2 ghost Eels there and someone bought a larger one when i was in the store drooling at fish.

They are all mainly $29.99.
A few weeks ago he had a Tesselata Eel for $49.99, but i got my 2 for $29.99. They usually are 6-10 inches long but they sure grow lots.... He gets them in quite often and is still awaiting more Both of mine started eating within 2 days and are on frozen silverside and shrimp.

well the guy was honest. He told me that the collector had given it to him as a "mantis" so that's what they called it. I clued in that it wasn't a mantis because the claw that it had (maybe it was missing the other one?) was overly relatively large and was opposable like a crabs. Also you almost never find a mantis of that white or that small. It was built more like a shrimp whereas mantids (stomatopods properly) are thicker and more robust.
by the way if you were worried about glass breaking only the large adults of the largest species like a peacock or G. chiragra are even capable of it. as for your skull crackin under the unwavering force of a frying pan wielded by a wife... well i can't help ya there.
