I would recommend buying a smaller O. Scyllarus and raising it (they get to nearly 7"). You can find them on ibluewater or blue zoo aquatics a lot. But they are always going to be pretty expensive (maybe $125-150 w/ shipping) I have seen some Peacocks on LiveAquaria's Diver's Den but they always go really fast and they usually run about $100 with shipping. Just save up, and while you're saving you should prepare your tank because with that kind of investment you'll want your mantis to live a long time. Ask questions/watch videos, etc. Best of luck!
