Looking to buy Mantis
Hello all,
I've had reef aquariums for a while now(about five years), I'm currently looking to set up a tank for a mantis shrimp. I'm going to be getting between a 12-20g acrylic tank to be holding him in. I was wondering what some good active species would be, nothing too shy =D. Also where are some good places to order them from? My LFS dont seem to know much about them. I found some on this site :http://www.sharkysreef.com/catalog/i...6cbt8m28lbihu0 however they dont tell what type of mantis you are getting. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks! |
