| -CHAUVINIST PIG- | Re: Bobs Nano Mantis Madness Tank Of Happy Happy Joy Joy!!!!!! sure thing! ah man, mantis antic rule! two days ago, i was camped out in front of my tank. there was this lil hermit crab walkin the ridgeline of the highest point in my tank. then he got all starttled. and i see two lil mantis antenna stickin up. then "WHACK" the hermit shot up like 4 inches in the air (water i guess), then mid float, Bane comes shooting out. he grabbed the hermit mid air, rolled up around it like a rolly pollie, and then rolled all the way down my rockwork to the DSB. then he dragged mr hermit into his lair. it totally ruled.

| -CHAUVINIST PIG- | Re: Bobs Nano Mantis Madness Tank Of Happy Happy Joy Joy!!!!!! i was laughing and wiggling like a lil school girl. it was waaaaaaay excited for me as a mantis geek. and yes KATHY, he is a smithii. when i was initially setting up, i was prepared to wait about 6 months and drop $100 for a smithii. being they are one of the most saught after species, and rare, i was prepared to go above and beyond the call for this species. the day i went to my LFS for LR (which by the way is a bad idea, buy online) i saw a tank labled " 2 inch baby peacock mantis" intrigued by the fact Peacocks are in their larval stage until they reach about 3 inches, i took a look. there was Bane, a male G. Smithii for $12.99. I bought him on the spot. i was sooo stoked. FINDING a G. Smithii was supposed to be the hardest thing, let alone cost 13 bucks! he sat at the LFS for about 8 weeks while my tank cycled. i went in every week and bought him a hermit or a snail. about 2 weeks after the cycle (after 2 weeks of 100% stable params), i went and picked him up
