LF: Peacock Mantis and Warty Angler

[Jayreefer]

I am in search of male peacock mantis and a white warty angler. If anyone spots them at a LFS in Phoenix area please let me know.

I plumbed in a 40B to my 240 mixed reef so I could once again keep a peacock mantis. I would prefer a male, but no worries if you are not sure.

Also have a 40B refugium that I have kept anglers in before. This time I want to try out a warty angler. Hopeing to find a white 2 tone coloration that is at least eating live.

And to be clear these guys will be kept in 2 seperate 40B tanks.

Thanks

Club reef had a mantis last week. I messaged Andrew over there to see if he still has it. If not he goes to LA every week to pick up new stock. Check it out on Facebook.

Thanks for the tip. I will give them a call Tuesday when they open back up.

He just answered me. Said it was listed as a peacock but not 100% that it’s a peacock. Priced at $49.99. If you text the number to the store it’s his business phone and he will reply. Could possibly even lock into getting you an angler as well.

 

[Jayreefer]

Thanks. Just sent him a text.

Andrew at Club Reef picked me up a very nice warty angler! So far so good as his very first meal was defrosted krill.

Unfortunately his mantis is not peacock. I believe it is a chiragra. Looks very healthy but I will wait for a peacock.

Never heard of Club Reef, is it a store front? When I did my aquarium search they didn’t come up.

Andrew/Club Reef is more of a fish broker than an aquarium shop. If you text the store number he responds pretty well. Tell him what you are looking for and he picks out the fish in person in LA and then drives back to Tempe. I picked up the angler at 9pm on a Monday night at Club Reef. My Angler is still doing great and already being shows signs he is hungry again.

I also have a 12+ inch blond naso tang I got from him 2+ years ago that was the fastest growing fish I have ever had. Went from 2" to 8" in a year.

Thanks, Jayreefer. Does he QT?

 

[Jayreefer]

No. They come straight from the distributor. My angler was still in it's shipping bag as he has just got back from LA. I QT everything so not a problem for me.

And still looking for a peacock mantis if anyone spots one.

Finally was able to get a female peacock from Live Aquaria.

LF: Peacock Mantis

Anyone know of a source for a peacock mantis? I am hoping to find a young male. I have been checking live aquaria and blue zoo all month. I have hit up every LFS in the Phoenix AZ area and have requested one be ordered. While some say they will look others have flat out said they don't like...

Of coarse it would happen that way. When it rains it pours.

Was just in there yesterday looking for cleaner shrimp. They where out of the cleaner shrimp too.

It is in the tank on the counter with the seahorse's in it and the mangroves growing out of the top.
