Peelz, the mantis shrimp!

Very awesome little mantis, I saw one for sale on divers den today, pretty cool! I like your guy better though +K

 

now by crayfish you dont mean freshwater do you?

 

Yup, a freshwater Crayfish was what we fed him.
He ate that thing faster than you'd think

 

O.s. (peacock) mantis are my favorite species. Nice setup you made for it.

 

He's been molting for about 2 weeks now, I'm starting to get worried, I have checked Amonia and it's still at 0, so it's ok there.
Would 3 weeks be when I start to worry?

 

i dont know much about them but i would be worried after a week. but i could be totally wrong as ido not know much about them.

 

I wouldn't start worrying yet. If he isn't out by 3 weeks you can worry. My 2.5" wennerae takes over a week to molt.

 

Very cool!

 

What Stepho said. My old Wennerae would take well over a week to molt. Our smithii only takes about 3-5 days though. This new mantis (we think is a wennerae) takes a freakin' long time, too.
