biomekanic Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Setting up a nano Real Soon Now ( like in a few days probably ). I'd like to do a mantis tank, the only local one small enough ( it's a 7g AGA bowfront ) is $30 at Aqua Serene. ( Amazing what they're charging for a hitchhiker they consider a pest ). I don't know the name of the sales guy ( medium height, thin, mustache, brown hair ring a bell? ) but he didn't want to sell me it... ( I was going to bargain him down ). He's ordered a peacock ( O. scyallarus ) but I'm not putting one of those in a nano ( they may be tank breakers, but that's like keeping a St. Bernard in an efficiancy apartment. Sure, you can do it, but should you? ). Anyone know of someone looking to ditch their hitchhiker? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matty Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 I know its kinda far but Waves has them alot of the time. Joel is a good guy and maybe you could work something out with him. You could also post a wanted ad on nano-reef.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyles Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Sounds like Paul, he means well. One of the most experienced fish guys I know. If your patient Im sure one will pop up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siskiou Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Yeah, it sounds like Paul to me, too. The owner would have been wearing a hat and been extremely rude! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyles Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 ha ha ha, right on the money, the owner is the primary reason I only go there about once every 3 months, if not I would probably shop there twice a week. I will leave it at that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsoz Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Mike have you seen this. I saw it in a signature line from a guy on nano-reef. He said to PM him if you want to buy. The guy was "grandpafeathers" http://www.hereonthereef.moonfruit.com/# dsoz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahreno Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 i have one in my 300 gallon tank... if you can get it out you can have it. **** i hate that thing being in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biomekanic Posted July 11, 2008 Author Share Posted July 11, 2008 Yeah, it sounds like Paul to me, too. The owner would have been wearing a hat and been extremely rude! Oh, I know him on sight... and that's an accurate description of my experience with him. Sean, a former sponsor, met him at a conference and he introduced himself to Sean as "Hi, I'm so and so, and I sell the most expensive fish in Oregon."

biomekanic Posted July 11, 2008 Author Share Posted July 11, 2008 i have one in my 300 gallon tank... if you can get it out you can have it. **** i hate that thing being in there. Hmmm... I had one in my 75g for over a year, he was harmless. ( Funny enough, he didn't come in on my FL liverock, but was a hitchhiker from the 'guaranteed pest free' live rock tank at a certain Serene Water store... ) I was able to lure him out ( I moved him to a nano so I could watch him better ) by feeding live brine. That let me identify his lair, and I flushed him out with some soda water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahreno Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 I know where his lair is... but there are about 3 pieces of liverock on top of it... Do you think if i took a net put it over his lair and then used a turkey baster to shoot soda water into the hole that he'd come running out into the net all nice and easy like ? sorry hi jacking your thread...
