A tease for JustDavidP

**Seahorsedreams** · 01-11-2007, 02:24 AM

Setting up a new tank for the critter that followed me home today. Wait until you see it David!

**JustDavidP** · 01-11-2007, 02:12 PM

Is it YOUR critter... or for a SaxKid?

And you... you are a tease! I want a MANTIS...

Unfortunately, the LFS around here don't stock them. The ONLY deca's that I see are the "oops I have an ugly brown or green mantis that I need to get out of my tank".

The photoshoot to commence tonight! This is the new mantis we walked home with lastnight. The Saxkid has a swimming pickle.... this one is the swimming Banana. I love this hobby..... ya, that makes 4 mantis' for us.

are we talking in code here?!?! ... lmao
swimming pickles and bananas... hmm, maybe i shouldn't ask....

**JustDavidP** · 01-11-2007, 03:26 PM

No... it has to do with something LIKE the Brady Bunch....but this one is a Salty Bunch...

Greg was lucky enough to find a gal who is into the hobby...now, he's got the fraglets interested... there is going to be more water coursing through that house than air!

lmao.. ok, thats cool..

Greg's daughter has a mantis she calls the swimming pickle.

I was trying to make a color reference to mine but I was actually way off (like I usually am with the darn test kits) and I should have called him a swimming mango.

I don't think he quite believes me that this will be a good place to live. He's not enjoying his QT tank.

He is posing to be a real photograghic nightmare. He is so freaking orange it's hard to stop him from looking like a detailess orange blob.

*stomping feet* i want a mantis tank, those are cool..

looks very cool renee

**JustDavidP** · 01-12-2007, 10:50 AM

I'm setting one up this weekend

'nee.. can I use a HOB filter, like a cascade thing? A heater, LS, and LR. Is it that simple?

**Seahorsedreams** · 01-12-2007, 03:13 PM

It's that simple. The Chiragra hasn't even had a filter since the move but now just has a little airline.

These are very undemanding critters. Hardy. Friendly. Simple needs! Heck ya don't even have to feed them but a three times a week.

I don't know how interactive the orange one is.... I haven't ID'd him yet. Hopefully he's not a reclusive.

the mantis is soooo cool altho i dont wanna get cut

**Seahorsedreams** · 01-12-2007, 05:54 PM

You don't mess with him and he won't mess with you.

**Seahorsedreams** · 01-12-2007, 06:01 PM

I think he's mad at me....

***Rob*** · 01-12-2007, 06:40 PM

**Seahorsedreams** · 01-12-2007, 11:49 PM
