Finding a Gonodactylus smithii

deleau · 01/13/2017, 05:25 PM

I would like to set up another mantis tank (going to be a duplicate of my current one) at home. Instead of going with a peacock, I'd like to go with a G. smithii at home.

I'm in the U.S.; does anyone know who/where I can get one from a reliable source?

Thanks,
-Shane

G. Smithiis are going to be hit or miss. You can find them online occasionally at blue zoo aquatics. I'd get on their email list for that species if I were you. Otherwise I don't know of a regular supplier of Smithiis. Good luck!

Blue zoo was the only place I had found; I'm on the list.
