Hi guys, just a update after tearing down my 80g i put some of the LR in to my mantis tank, after the first night of it being in there i heard the tapping noise so i went up to the tank with a flash light and there it was a mantis. It is dark in colour with light colour bands on it, havent been able to get any picys of it yet but as soon as i do i will post them.

A very happy Sarah xxxx

Sarah,

For a couple of weeks, always approach the tank slowly. Every time you do, give it a TINY treat. It won't take long at all for it to come out for you.

Sarah, is that a clam on the substrate (3rd over from the left)? If it is, it will make a tasty treat for you mantis.

Hi Sar . . . how you doing matey. Tank is starting to look great. That little Mantis will be the best looked after in the UK i reck'on. Well done matey. Keep us posted when you get a pic of the little fella. PS, Did you order him online and where from. I fancy another one for my sump

Hi Sarah!That tank set up it's surely a good home for a mantis.I'm not sure if you ever going to see him/her in the open cause once I kept one with almost nothing in the tank so I could see him/her.
Good luck with yours matey.

Ps.Brucey how you're doing?
