Looking for a mantis!

[Wiggawam]

Title petty much says it all, looking for a mantis that someone wants to get rid of preferably to put in a new little tank I set up. Thanks.

i have an olive green one with an orange under belly.

its worth about 150 dollars since it killed that much worth of shrimps and whatnot before i caught it.hehe.

its about 3-4 inches.

Willing to mail it? I'm down in east LA/Santa Monica so that is a bit of a trip with gas prices these days.

Wiggawam -

i rather not ship it. Even though it ate alot of my tank inhabitants, i guess somewhere deep inside me...i care for the the little fella and want him to have a good home. currently he's in a guppy breeding tank. :)

unfortunately i'm not sure when i can make it out to the west side otherwise i'd drop it off. i'm trying to figure out if i need to go anywhere halfway there.

jesus that's insane. probabaly couldn't even keep it in an aggressive FOWLR tank. it'd eat just about any reef fish.

cant imagine shipping/unpacking that beast. It's friggin majestic!

will 2 of them kill each other?

There is a fish store by my house that has one. If you want it I can find out how much it is. It's about 2".

dont people eat this stuff? i think i might buy it bring it to the swap...

when i was in a remote part of china near the shores, we went to a restaurant where instead of tanks of lobsters/crabs/fish you would find here...they had mantis shrimps, octopus, and even dwarf lionfishes.

sorry wiggawam - i'm trying to find some free time in my schedule to get out there..but if you want it, you would need to pick it up.

PM me your adress and everything and I'll see when is a good time for me to try and come out. I don't mind waiting jsut gives a chance for those frags to attach so he cant uproot them in his home building.

Thanks but it looks like he is already spoken for.
