This is one of the two O. scyllarus specimens you ordered from FFExpress?

1. Did they provide any sort of guarantee?

2. This might sound insensitive . . . but if I were you, then I would take this opportunity to admire the shrimp's anatomy. Living mantis shrimp aren't exactly keen on being examined.

Sorry to hear it. I know that ffexpress has a 5 day arrive alive guarantee (http://www.ffexpress.com/policies.htm) But I think you have to send the dead shrimp back and if they give you credit for the $18 (I think it was) then you'd have to still pay shipping fo rthe new one which costs a whole lot as you know. So be careful when you chop it up, which sounds to me like a pretty cool idea. If you do check out the mantis, send a picture of anything interesting that you find.

yea, ff express had no problem giving me a 18 dollar livestock credit. Suprisingly I did not have to ship back the dead shrimp...

you're right about the shipping too. If I wanted another I'd have to wait til once came in and pay another 50 bucks for shipping...

Ok, I am confused. I just went to FFExpress and found nothing for Mantis Shrimps. Is it on there website or do you have to call?

[soyu22]

Go to this site on ffexpress:

I just looked now and they don't seem to have any available. Yes, I found them only on the website and have never been to the actual store.

They're not a regularly stocked item.
