Sorry didn't realize that, thanks for your help, will give it a shot:)

Fantastic, how did you manage to get the larvae. If you know anyone who can get em, let me know will buy a couple or few

I guess they would need water cover continuously, unlike crabs

Thanks for the input guy's, didn't think there would be enough water cover in tidal estuaries. I doubt there would be any in hawke's Bay waters then. Due to our murky water's, it's probably best to find a fisherman in those area's, I guess would be the only way. The Japanese variety would be an interesting set up. Thanks for this guy's:)

Hi Fruju, thanks for the help, tried low tidal rock pools, no luck yet, but the little buggers must be in there somewhere:)

Hi Guy's,Does anyone know where to find Mantis shrimp in N.Z. Find them fascinating to keep
