pics of my mantises

That's Princess, my 1.5" N. Wennerae. I don't have a super recent picture of her. I'll try and get one sometime this week. She's kept in an Aquamedic Nano Wave 9 with her 3 stripe damsel "buddy" named Orca.





And that's Bo, my mom's G. Smithii. Also an "older" picture (got him in October), because he just recently molted. He still a little shy and delicate after the molt, but he should be back to normal in a few days where I can get a good pic of him and his "improved" aquascape he's been working on.

Welcome to 3reef and to the stomatopod club

 

awesome stomatopods man.

This is my guy, Mr. Fister. He is an N. Wennerae and also my best friend. ;D

 

Hey guys thanks, and those are some good looking wenneraes, if I were to get another it would be a wennerae

 

They're very good mantises that's for sure It's stepho's fault that we have 2 mantis at home now Oddly enough, our wenneraes are the same size essentially, but mine is super deep rusty read while his stands out like a bright neon sign

I would love a peacock one day. If I ever had a mantis collection, I'd be sure to have a spearer of some sort in there just for giggles, even if I wouldnt' see him as often as a smasher.

 

I would love to have a spearer, they look like a ton of fun to feed. My next mantis is definitely going to be an O. Havanensis though. My LFS has a really good deal on a used 20 long I am thinking about snagging.

 

nice

 

Hey my p. Cilliata which is a spearer is actually very active, she out doing something all the time

 

I think our smithii thinks he's a spearer...he took out all 3 chromis in his tank over the course of about 2 weeks. He ate 2, but didn't finish the 3rd and tried to get rid of it. So I fed what was left to our brittle star in the 46 gallon reef

 

woot heres fred and his clam he loves his clam >,<

 

thanks mantis ill try frozen squid but i just think he doesnt like dead food he likes the thrill of the chace and he doesnt seen to want fish i keep a clown fish with him everything fine so far.
