FS: 10g mantis shrimp tank
I'm down to the home stretch in college and I've run out of money. I'd REALLY like to not have to take out a loan so I'm doing whatever I can.
 George Foreman is a neat little dark green "camo" colored mantis. He's a smasher type which means he punches his enemies out of their shells. He eats thawed raw shrimp from tongs, but absolutely loves any live crabs, snails or worms you give him as a treat. I put some feather duster worms in with him and within 15 minutes he was already tenderizing one for lunch. The tank is a ten gallon set up with a lighted hood and a HOB filter made for bigger aquariums. There are three big chunks of base rock that form a cave that have some macro algae starting to grow on them. I'm asking 60 dollars OBO for this interactive little dude. Once he's settled in he's pretty friendly and comes up to the glass to say "hello". Here are two youtube videos of him in action: http://youtu.be/IZ7C1uGxT2s http://youtu.be/dOQIcG8WGEk
