If your really quick maybe you can smash it with a rock!

[Tim Marvin]

Just kidding. Beautiful shrimp!

[Chris]

LOL Tim!

He's much too cool to do that to. ;)

It was fun watching him last night break open a clam by repeateded smacking it. Makes me think twice about ever wanting to put my hands on that Florida LR. :oops:

Nice specimen Chris. Even though color is not always 100% certain indicator that's probably a male peacock mantis. Did you get that one from fishsupply.com?

[Chris]

Great guess Mike. It is indeed a male. I would take a pic proving it but getting him to pose with that area exposed is no easy task. ;)

And yes it came from fishsupply.com

what do you feed that guy on a daily basis? i have thought of getting one and put him in a small tank but tie it in to the main tank. can you put more than one together?

[Sherri]

I'm with Tim....LOL JK! Beautiful colors...It looks like an alien to me and I'm sure he's quite entertaining as well.
