Mantis and Lion

Okay, I finally got a minute to snap a few pics of these guys before the lights went out tonight. Things have been going fine. No fights. They've even touched each other during feeding with no incident. Screw the naysayers, I think it's gonna work out. As you can see Snoopy has been busy fortifying his cave with even more branch rubble. He's pretty handy with the building and such. So cool to watch. He builds in the front there with the lion sitting on his favorite perch just watching him. Other new additions are a red general star and a couple dozen turbos which really do their job. Snoopy has only killed one that I know of in a week. About the star, been having trouble getting him to eat shrimp and krill. I put it under him and he just moves off of it. Any suggestions?

just curious how long have you had the mantis and where did you get it ?

We got the mantis about a month ago I guess. I'm really bad at keeping track of time but at least that long. The lion has been over 2 weeks now. I got the mantis at a fish nursery in DC on a whim. Pretty crazy impulse buy. My wife wanted an eel but I just couldn't resist. Now he's her favorite. She says she loves him. heh heh. I guess a face only a mother could love......:thinking:
