Meet Yoda, the peacock mantis

Can it divott I'm not some super nerd who's online 24/7...even if it is summer vacation.

Princess is doing great. She's grown an inch since I got her...which is quite a feat when their max size is supposed to be 3 inches. In fact, she just kicked up a giant sandstorm again. She's been reaquascaping for me ever since I added another chunk of rock to her tank yesterday.

 

Yoda is awesome! Make sure you throw some snails and hermits in everyonce in a while for its smashers.....Peacocks are both smashers and piercers...so a snail here and there will help keep the smashers strong!

Plus it is awesome to watch!

Might get a PVC pipe and place it in there for an extra den!

very cool....congrats on joining the mantis club

 

Really????

I must admit, Princess and Orca (the damsel) are pretty fascinating to watch!

Be sure to post more pictures of Yoda!

 

Awesome addition! Mantis are so great, I'm thinkin of getting one in the future!

 

here are pics of yoda, he seems to be loving his new home. he dug under the rock for his den as I figured he would. He is sooo cute. He was adding shells to his den, but swam all the way around the tank to get it there , lol.











and here's his den

 

here's an awesome pic I just took

 

very cool!

 

oh Coral Reef didn't have the 'clown' any more. They only had the 2 peacocks, the tiny zebra, and the 2 little green ones. Yoda is the more aggressive peacock.

 

Awww man that "clown" was awesome. Yoda is very healthy looking! I'm glad you guys have a mantis now. Their bad reputation is starting to become good since alot of us are keeping a species tank just for a mantis.

 

ya I hate that they have a bad reputation, ppl just need to see that they are ok when kept properly.
