If anyone wants a Mantis shrimp...


...then you can have him. I just caught the little guy last night and I don't have the heart to kill him. After all, even though I don't want him in my tank, he didn't ask to be there either. I live in Connecticut and would be willing to ship him to you if you pay for the shipping.

If you're in CT, stop by and pick him up.

I'm not sure what exact kind he is, but he's a little over an inch long. When I shine a light on him, he looks purple.

Thanks!

No takers, eh? Hmmm...


I didn't think so, but I've heard that some people like these little guys. Darn it...what the heck can I do with him? I don't feel right killing him, but I don't want him in my tank. Has anyone else run into this problem?

Did I mention that he's magic and can grant wishes??? : )

I live in Plainfield (Eastern part of the state). I'm not sure what's going to become of Mr. Mantis. Eagleox had told me that he wanted him, but then we found out how expensive it would be to ship him. I'm awaiting word if he still wants him.

If he changes his mind, would you? Are you close by?
