FlowerMama Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Nice. Can't wait to see what it looks like in the tank and after the first molt. Link to comment

Boggers Posted February 6, 2014 Author Share Posted February 6, 2014 Timing was perfect. Looking at corals from Kat and had a biocube I didn't want to take down, and she got a mantis in her rock. Link to comment

Boggers Posted February 6, 2014 Author Share Posted February 6, 2014 Peanut in he house! Already took a stroll around. I put him in a beta bowl inside his palace so I can make sure he does well from the trip. Soon as I can get Pics/Vid uploaded I will. work has been nuts. Link to comment
Boggers Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share Posted February 7, 2014 http://s1356.photobucket.com/user/Mike_Bognich/media/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20140206_202322196_zpse298dd9e.jpg.html?sort=3&o=4 That didn't work right but the vid of him peaking out is in there. Link to comment
Boggers Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share Posted February 7, 2014 Here he is at his first curse. I had put him in the beta bowl inside the cube, but when I got home he was out free. I may not see him again for a while if he goes to molt. Vid when he was just peaking out. (if this works) Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Just because of the switch in tanks which happened, and moved back on Tues? I only saw Gertie today. First time they went into their tanks I didn't see Gertie for like 9 or 10 days. Scared me. Link to comment
Boggers Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share Posted February 7, 2014 Little guy, and there is about 20Lbs or so LR. I will not see him unless he changes color or wants to be found. Link to comment
Islandoftiki Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Yeah, expect a molt in the next day or three. Nearly all of my crustaceans that I've had have molted after moving to a new tank. All of my mantis have. Say, that gives me an idea.... If someone had a mantis with shell rot, I wonder if they couldn't force a premature molt by switching tanks or doing a really big water change. Now you have me thinking. Link to comment
metrokat Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Well the can swim pretty well. He escaped from his Tupperware in my fuge you know. Quite the Houdini. Thanks for the cute furball pictures. Link to comment
