Tamberav Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Following along! I'm new to mantis world and its nice to see others ideas. I like the coral skeletons! Right now I'm too scared to put a light over my mantis tank as I think peacocks are the most prone to shell rot? Link to comment
jadedanime Posted July 10, 2013 Author Share Posted July 10, 2013 Yea peacocks are. I'm getting a wennerae so I don't have to worry about that issue lol Link to comment
jadedanime Posted July 10, 2013 Author Share Posted July 10, 2013 Do you ever look back on your old posts and go wtf was I trying to say? Lol my grammar would make my english teacher weep.. Come on Tuesday! Link to comment
Tamberav Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Yea peacocks are. I'm getting a wennerae so I don't have to worry about that issue lol Good plan. My hubby was very stern about wanting a peacock if I could find one. "It's bigger, it's brighter, it kills things". Link to comment
jadedanime Posted July 10, 2013 Author Share Posted July 10, 2013 So do wennerae and false peacocks lol I love havanensis I just don't want the shell rot concern. I hope to get a bright green and blue wennerae instead. Oh spouses and their opinions lol my boyfriend hates my tanks...calls them my money pits. I'm a prevet bio/chem student what do you expect me to be attracted to for a hobby? Lol Link to comment

I'm a prevet bio/chem student what do you expect me to be attracted to for a hobby? Lol My hubby is only now starting to get interested (as long as he doesn't have to lift a finger) but only in certain fish and corals. Right now he only likes mandarins, black ice clowns, flame angels, peacock mantis shrimps, and neon corals with the "blue light on only". I've been slowly selling my fish and getting ones he likes hoping to somehow trick him into liking fish tanks. I showed him a candy basslet (didn't show price) and asked him if I should get one and he was like "meh not that great". Soooo picky. Of course I wasn't going to get one but wanted to see if he liked it without a price bias. Link to comment
