I know what you mean. Lamborghini's look so great on the internet until you park it next to a new Corvette, or it catches on fire driving down the...
HOB filter will be fine as long as you keep up with water changes too. I had a thermometer with my mantis and he never whacked it, but it isn't a...
Super glue gel will bond even when wet. What I do is super glue it to a piece of a plug or a small piece of rock (something small the coral will...
I soak my food in garlic and vitamin-c, because it is what I have. Selcon is best though. It is to help the mantis build up its immunity.
Your home built stand looks really good. I like it. Nice rock work too.
How long have you had your mantis? Do you know what species it is and can you post pictures? I have heard ghost shrimp do not provide very much...
Depending on the mantis it will be plenty. Also to answer your previous question about tank size, it depends what species mantis you get. For a...
Aww don't do that. You should get another dog/mantis when you are ready. Yes it is hard to put them down, but don't forget about all the joy they...

Mine has been swimming around like a maniac and widening the tunnels in his den... hopefully in anticipation of him growing larger.
couple more pictures. [IMG] [IMG] and I am just going to post a link to this one because it is high res. 1870 x 1402...
yessss!! I love the safety dance. I also love that episode of scrubs. ;D
[IMG] Here is one. I tried to edit it because the white balance was way off on my camera. I just took a whole bunch more, with manual white...
I'll try. He moves way to much to easily focus my macro lenses on him.
Smitthi will do fine in a 10 gallon. Yes they are known as purple spot mantis. I can never find a LFS that stocks them, I had to drive 2 hours to...
Peacock would not do well in a 15 gal. 30 is recommended. Floor space is more important than water volume so anything with about as much floor area...
