Livemantisshrimp.com is it real?

[WilliamH2529]

so I've stumbled upon this website called LiveMantisShrimp.com I am truly unable to find any information about it no matter where I look, it says its been around from 2013 but I somehow only recently discovered it? If anyone has any experience with the website and can tell me if its real or fake I'd appreciate the help.

I’ve never heard of them. I visited the site and it doesn’t look like an overt scam site. They say they have 20 tanks, so this is probably a hobby business. However, it may be an older site that isn’t being updated. I’d email them and start a conversation with them.

A site that was designed in 2022, that says its been in existence since 2013 and yet there is no record of it at the wayback machine. There is also no way to contact them and no physical address info or anything else listed on the site.

Something definitely seems "fishy" with these guys. I'd be wary.
