QRSamuel Posted July 10, 2020 Report Share Posted July 10, 2020 (edited) I don't think you would be able to buy the colourful ones in new zealand, as if they didn't die in our cold ocean water they would pose an environmental threat to our native one, however I am not sure. I know we do have a native species (I have found them washed up on the beach once or twice) but I don't think they would be offered in pet stores due to their special requirements and lack of bright colours, however you should be able to find one if you have a hunt at your local beach. Also maybe this should have been posted in the saltwater section. EDIT: woops didn't realise how old this thread was, sorry.

Caryl Posted July 14, 2020 Report Share Posted July 14, 2020 The poster probably gave up after no reply until now so thank you for your response anyway in case it is of use to someone else. I know nothing about mantis shrimp so could not offer an opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
