    Sorry to hear about your mantis :(. I hate to agree with Jwin but I think he's got the right idea. :D

    Sad to hear about bo. A peacock mantis would be cool though.
    +1 to what Steve said :)

    Thanks all! We moved the pseudochromis back into the main tank. I am going to work on clearing out the algae in Bo's old tank - it's kind of hard to put a clean-up crew in a mantis tank. We may end up moving Jwin's mantis and damsel into the 14 Biocube IF I decide to go with the 29. I'll let him figure out how to move the mantis! Not my department - I've been popped by a mantis enough already!

    Ok, I guess I better update the main tank info too....

    I vote O. Havanensis. Don't really have to upgrade the tank for that. Sealifeinc.net has them regularly now.

    I don't have a picture, but we did move Jwin's mantis/damsel into the Biocube. They are doing fine in there, but I have the usual algae problem. Something about lack of clean-up crew in a mantis tank! We've had the damsel about 3 years now. Tough fish. I actually caught Lambo the mantis popping the fish one day and thought he was a goner, but not so. It was the strangest thing!

    Woah! triplemom back from the dead! Yeah I think algae is just one of those things you have to deal with in a mantis tank.
