Pickle010 Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 Bring it to your LFS with a bunch of your water and have them bag him up for you. Then transport it inside a styrofome cooler. Let them know how far you are going and they should bag it in a large bag with a lot of pure oxygen. It's common for LS to get shipped long distances and that's probably your best bet. When I moved my tank 200 miles I converted a 50 gallon cooler into a tank and ran pumps and heater off of a power inverter in the car. You could do something like that on a smaller scale as well.

travisurfer Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 make sure you have lots of oxygen available to the mantis regardless of what you do. you could probably just get a bucket or something too. Link to comment
