rudy Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 (edited) This is him in his former owners tank. Funny story about this guy is when Matt the moray guy was taking him to the courier he smashed the thermos. He ended up coming in a tupperware container. This thing is the hardest hitting mantis I have yet (and I have a larger ternatensis). He will actually lunge out to hit anything. Quickly settling in. I do think he cost me my wennerae last night however as he broke a divider and I can't find the wennerae....Could be just hiding though and this dude now has his own tank.

Vapor Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 Cool. I never realised they were so agressive before. No wonder you're so interested in them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mighty Prawn Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 I'd like to do 2 salt tanks one day, a mantis tank, and an interesting critter tank. Those mantis' are so awesome. -Hideo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nandopsis Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 If they'll smash a thermos, how can you sleep at night putting them in a Aquarium? Your testing my curiousity with these little clubbers. :bang1: I thinking of getting one soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudy Posted May 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 J, Thermoses and tanks are a bit different in thickness. I always line my tanks with backerboard however as I do not want to find out if a mantis can break a tank! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
