facinated by mantis shrimp

[kitoshebe]

Hi all big brothers & sisters, i'm a newbie hoping to learn more from you guys about saltwater aquarium!

got wowed by the behavior of peacock mantis shrimp for quite some time, and got more and more interested in marine tank while reading about mantis shrimp.

pls bear with my lack of experience about marine aquarium, the only experience i have is keeping freshwater discus

would appreciate if anyone knows where can i get a 90 gal (3x2x2) acrylic tank & any place that sell young peacock mantis shrimp!

sorry for my poor english!

Sometimes Coral Farm has mantis shrimp.

Read this...

Make sure your tank has thick enough walls. Peacocks are smashers and can grow large enough to crack tanks with thin walls.
