Yes he was the little guy in the floating container and he's really energetic. At $20 he was priced just right too!
Not sure who runs Natural Life but there's a Caucasian guy and an Asian guy that I've seen.
I had a few stores looking out for one for me but ended up getting one from Natural Life Aquarium in South SF. The guys there said it was a regular green mantis but when I got it home and acclimated, I saw it was actually a purple spotted mantis. Exactly the species I was hoping for :D...
Natural Life Aquarium has what looks like either a 1.5" green or falcatus. Might just pick that one up!
The place on 6th sounds scary but I'll probably stop in at one point or another to see for myself.
I was at AE yesterday and I think I just missed their mantis but I had them keep an eye out for the species I'm looking for. Seascapes mentioned that they get their livestock from somewhere in Hayward too so I'll likely make a few calls in that direction.
Hi I was wondering if anyone knows a LFS that stocks Mantis Shrimp? I'm about to start cycling a tank that I want to put a mantis in with some softies eventually but the only place that I know of that can get them is Seascapes in Mountain View. I'm looking in particular for a Gonodactylus...
