nope, i'm signed up for alerts for the smithii and the ternatensis and haven't goten e-mails for either

Jacwil · 02/23/2012, 09:03 PM

Someone pull the trigger on that smithii before I do! Lol I've had it in my cart twice tonight

Peter T · 02/23/2012, 09:37 PM

I haven't been getting email alerts when they go straight to WYSIWYG either. I got lucky and snagged a smithii thanks to noidsters thread about the G. Smithii for sale. Makes me wonder how many stomatopods I may have missed in the past years waiting for an email alert that never comes lol.

On a side note, that is a beautiful ciliata on the site. If I only had my 8 gallon up running at the moment lol.

No one is interested in this one? 3" L. malc? C'mon...if it's there still on Monday, I might pull the trigger.

Coral Oasis in Costa Mesa,CA has 4 mantis shrimp in stock. Was just there today to get some salt.

They have 2 P.Ciliata. One is 3.5" or so and entirely green. Other is 2.5" or so and greenish brown with sand colored racing stripe. Both are $15.

Also 1 small green unidentified smasher for $15

And a 2.5"-3" L.mac for $20

Jacwil · 03/26/2012, 06:07 AM

Bummer they don't have an online store!

Jacwil · 04/15/2012, 11:13 AM

Another L .mac! Li'l 1.5"er

I'm on the hunt for a Smithii.

Now I just need to be patient.

...

I am not succeeding at the patience thing.

If your wallet is bursting with cash, ibluewater has a Scyllarus and a Maculata.

Jacwil · 04/24/2012, 03:25 PM

BLuezoos malc is cheaper!!!

gpx1200 · 04/27/2012, 09:41 PM

Thanks man! I've been checking every site incessantly for a smithii to pop up. The one day I don't look for a mantis is when you post

Kazaam. I had it bought within 5 minutes of seeing the post.

I should have him tomorrow morning!

gpx1200 · 04/30/2012, 08:42 AM

cool i'd love to see some good pics of that guy,looks like some nice colors.
funny thing is i've been thinking of selling my smithii localy, i live in spencer ma, didn't know their was anyone that close looking for a smithii

gweston · 04/30/2012, 10:47 AM

You are just a short ride from me

Jacwil · 05/06/2012, 09:34 AM

And still 2 small L macs on Diversden!

leeinov · 05/08/2012, 02:52 PM

There is now a g.t. on bluezoo, unfortunatly you guys buy everything on there up so fast I bought a o. Scyllarus from my friend at Atlantic sea farms a couple weeks ago. I'll start a thread up here with pics soon when I get my camera back. It ( I think she) is about 3.5 inches.

Enavas · 05/08/2012, 03:08 PM

I am getting mine from Ocean Devotion. A local shop here in MN.

Enavas · 05/08/2012, 03:09 PM

Sometimes if you check around your local shops they can order in some. It is usually cheaper to go that route.

smitherins · 05/11/2012, 11:13 PM

4.5" peacock on DD. It's pretty pricey tho.

gpx1200 · 05/16/2012, 07:08 PM

not trying to be a downer but if your refering to the stock pic they have on the site, i have seen that pic several times before and i don't think its the achual one they have for sale.
if thats not the one do you have a pic of the one your geting?

ccapasso · 05/18/2012, 07:27 AM

Anyone looking for a Peacock? If so, LiveAquaria has them in stock (not Divers Den):
