MANTIS SHRIMP HELP

[~ocean]

Hey all,
Do u know where to get a mantis shrimp in Canada? - specifically Saskatoon, Saskatchewan? Local pet shops don't have them.

I's be better to not buy one from a distance away becausee it sums up to like... $100 because of shipping.

Thanks!

Your best bet is online someone like liveaquaria.com, bluezooaquatics.com, thatpetplace.com. Or just type it on yahoo search.

Yeah, you'll probably have to order it online. Most people think of them a pest because they hick hike in on rock and can kill their fish. Stores won't really keep them either because of that and that some of them can break glass with their hammer like appendage they use to attack prey. I do understand wanting one, especially the clown or peacock mantis shrimp. They are vicious predators, have interesting personalities and amazing colors.
