Where Can I Get A Mantis Shrimp?

[k8inuk]

Hello

I am trying to buy a mantis shrimp but have had very little luck so far. I have a few species which I'd prefer - I quite like the peacock mantis shrimp and the caribbean rock mantis - but I'd just be happy with being able just to find a source of one species as so far we haven't been able to find one at all!

We live in the UK and can have any of the larger shrimps as we have space for a 120 litre tank.

Can anyone advise where I could try and get a mantis shrimp?

Cheers,

I have seen a couple of online stores that occasionally have them in (unfortunately can't remember which ones off the top of my head). Not many people specifically stock them though and they only ever seem to come up for sell if they have come in as a hitch hiker on LR.

Order from your lfs..TMC always carry several species, zebras and peacocks demanding the highest prices nowadays
