yogurt123 Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 Hey everyone, brand new here and brand new to aquarium keeping Looking at starting up my first tank pretty soon and was wondering if anyone knows if Mantis Shrimp can be obtained here, or if they are even legal? They're awesome little guys and if I can find one he's definately going in. Specifically I'm looking for a Gonodactylus Smithii (http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/arthropoda ... =g_smithii) or a Neogonodactylus Wennerae (http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/arthropoda ... n_wennerae) so if anyone here can give advice about whether I can get one these guys, and if so where? I'd be hugely appreciative, cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
