Jeff that's really nice. Thanks.

Least I can do is buy you a drink or dinner.

I am just getting set up, can I take a 2-3 week rain check?

goldenmean · 10-26-2007, 04:16 PM

He is all yours John!
Just let me know when you are ready for #3.
He will be so excited to be getting a much better home than a bare bottom glass sump.

fishnu · 10-26-2007, 04:20 PM

Thanks Jeff.

This guy is, like, less than a foot, right?

goldenmean · 10-26-2007, 04:33 PM

Oh he is probably only 1 1/2 inches long.
He is a smasher from the Gulf of Mexico (wennerae)
wennerae

Dang! that is a monster!

according to that site #3 will only be 3-4 inches full grow 80mm

Nice looking critter!

On the other hand that giant Hawaiian will give me nightmares tonight.

BEELZEBOB · 11-21-2007, 02:06 PM

ITS BEEN TOO LONG!! WHERE HAVE ALL MY MANTIS MINIONS GONE?

ILL BUMP IT WITH NEW FTS FOR BANES 18GAL

i just posted pics of my tank for its first B-Day like a week ago.

but i had to do a lil more rock work, and i took these pics during the day,
so they look a lil better. (i.e. they're a lil easier to be proud of!!)

BUNG!

ScubaDrew · 11-21-2007, 02:13 PM

Everything is looking snappy Bob. congrats.

I named my mantis last week.... Wimpy.

He earned it. This guy is scared of the food I feed him.

fishnu · 11-21-2007, 02:46 PM

My tank is nearing completion and Jeff (Goldenmean) is holding "number three" for me. When I get him in the tank, I will name him and join the ranks.

Right now, Demon Angel is a leading possibility...a tribute to his current owner (hint: anagram).
