I was at oceans today and they had a pair of mantis shrimp for sale, if anyone is interested.

Do you know what kind of mantis they are?

This is just a guess as per rudy's post but ...

"Ones at the shops in Calgary are all Chiragra...." Couldn't tell ya if that's completely true or not, though.

Cheers.

It't true I assure you. The female is the white one and the male is the green.

Nice mantis, but they are hard hitting and get very large. 40 gallon for life for one of these guys.

As well I hope they don't sell them as a pair....They will last until one of them molts and then the honeymoon will be over.

I guess it helps when the local mantis expert shows up.

Rudy do you know where a guy can buy a peacock?

Thanks,

I would prepay at Ocean City Chad.

They brought in 6 peacocks! All were nice, big but unfortunately DOA. I saw them in the freezer. Absolute shame.

They seem to be getting more inverts than anyone else these days.

How is that peacock doing now, Richard?

He's talking about it in the past tense so I was wondering too...

Do you have any pictures of it?
