New Peacock
I ordered her from http://www.stomatopod.com/ and she came in this morning. Excellent place to grab a mantis if anyone is looking for one, she was shipped properly, had the heat pads in place. Just an all around good deal .
I will post some pics later today, I am leaving her alone to get situated within the tank at the moment. |

Here are some pics of her, I do not know how to put them as images so I just hosted them on image shack
http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/5...ture003bs1.jpg http://img258.imageshack.us/img258/6...ture013bq5.jpg Here is a picture of the tank, I am hoping the kelurpa grows in well so it has a jungle feel to it. There is 2 1/2 inch pvc pipe all along the bottom of the tank, one side opens up on the right and the other is in the mouth of the constructed cave I made with live rock. http://img186.imageshack.us/img186/8...ture008aa0.jpg Any comments or ideas on how I can make it a better home are welcome . |

I am going to try to put in some sort of damsel to see if he attacks it, if he doesn't I may add some sort of clown fish? Has anyone had good success with peacocks and tank mates?

I have a blue damsel and I just added a baby clownfish. The damsel has been in there since the start, its been whacked a couple of times, but its still alive. The clownfish, if it doesn't stop going near the mantis, it'll be lunch. Thats my experience, don't really know if that would be considered good or not.
