Same here. Actually come to think of it I ate a lot of fish and seafood that cost me about $1 for the meal and I pay like $100 for one of these fish or $50 for a good mantis back home... kinda silly, huh?

Ya, I think it was $1 US for a plate of mantis. BBQ'ed in a lime pepper rub. mmm
I didn't see any aquarium fish for dinner, I would have tried any I saw!

when I got my first mantis shrimp.. wife had only 1 question... can you breed them?? so we can raise them and have a quick meal out of them.
