LF peacock Mantis shrimp
 
Looking for a larger mantis, up to 4 ". Prefer a peacock, but will look at others, depending on coloration.

Roger's Aquatic in Surrey has a good sized one right now.

anybody got one for sale or know where there is one?

Ya in your sump is a good idea, not sure if it would be suitable in your tank as they will decimate everything and I mean everything, my friend has a smaller one that came with some rock, and it just ate his Cinnamon Clown, and attacked a few hermit crabs... they are currently walking around with half a shell. I am sure if he could catch it you could have it but we live in Alberta.

It's in my tank now. Cool animal.

should be ok. the trigger is only about 2.5 inches and the puffer is about 3 inches. The peacock mantis is about 5 inches long and is already defending his territory.

one of the three will end up dead, not a very smart thing and a cruel thing to put those 3 in the same tank.....should have let someone else buy the mantis and give it a good home that isnt certain death
