Kind of feel guilty :squigglemouth: but I know he had to go. Got him used to me by feeding him squid on a skewer. Today, I gave him a peice and he went into his hole to eat and I picked up his rock and dropped him in a bucket. Had a hard time getting him out of the rock but finally prodded him out with the skewer.
He's a really nice specimen and he's waiting for his new home Randy!
Come get him!

Caught my Mantis

Yep... I did manage to get 1 picture, albeit not very good. He's living at the Jr.High school now.

BUT- just tonight I found another < this one looks more green Randy> in my big tank! I got 2 huge pieces of LR that wouldn't fit in my new tank so I plopped them in the 210 for the time being. Tonight.... another Mantis stuck his head out and said hello.:neutral:
Not overly worried about him in the big tank. Most of those fish are large and can likely take care of themselves. I'll get him out when the time comes.:smile:
