Mantis Shrimp

[Kin Corvida]

Anyone want to get rid of their pest mantis shrimp?

Yes, i do know mantis shrimp are considered the bane of every tank, but i am interested to know if there are any freshwater ones and where might i obtain one? I'm looking for a small, slasher-sort to keep and yes i do seem to enjoy watching the feeding actions of mantids, both land and sea.

The only ones i've seen so far are the salt-water variety being sold in Chinese Seafood Restaurants here...

no freshwater varieties of the mantis search the word "stomatopod" this is actually what they are not shrimp......

Thanks...

I know they're called stomatopods, was just using the layman's terms for it.
Hoping there was a freshwater variety available that i didn't know about.

Am interested in a colourful spearer-type mantis but none of the lfs here sell them so was wondering if anyone had one they would like to toss this way...
