Where?

Where did you get your mantis from?
was it an order? was it a hitchhiker?
tell me your story...

i was just browsing the LFS when i read on the tank 'green mantis shrimp' $9.99

So i said ill take it. He apparently was in one of their display tanks for about a year before they finally caught him. he was a hitchiker. he is of the smashing variety (more common than the spearer type) and is roughly the size of my thumb. he packs quite the 'wallup'.

First one I got from a local club member, second one I ordered online and the third I picked up from the local LFS.
