Looking for a N. wennerae mantis

[ihatter]

Anyone have a N. wennerae mantis shrimp or know where I can get one?

I think the "mantis" listed here for 9.95 may be what you are looking for (ask directly to be sure). Also, they often hitch on TBS live rock, so find someone who just got some who doesn't want a mantis. I have two, but am keeping them...

I was hoping to find one in boston, tbs sells the kind i want but shipping costs $70

I think Chuck (Spyro) had one a month or two back - I was thinking of taking it, but so far have been unsuccessful killing off all the FW fish in my daughter's 10 gallon tank so I could convert it to a SW tank, so don't have space for another mantis.

Good luck - they're fun critters to have. We're really lucky around here because you can go right to the seashore and collect periwinkles for them to eat, so you have a free source of food year-round.
