[QUOTE="Zeppy44, post: 304862, member: 9545"] All good points to think about before getting lost in the hobby. Keeping mantis is great. Being over whelmed with too many becomes a dreary obligation keeping up with just feeding and cleaning. Staying at a level where you enjoy them and can keep them flourishing, that is the sweet spot, in my humble opinion. Good luck which ever way you go. When they turn their heads to look at you gets me every time. For years I raised Killie fish and sold the offspring not kept for breeding. One year cleared a little over $ 7,000.00 after expenses just from the sales to local fish shops. While the extra money was great it had become a job with not a lot of time for the enjoyment I used to have with the fish. Not what I really wanted. Luckily with mantis I never had to separate a hatch of 100's of L1 nymphs looking to eat each other. LOL My hat is off to the breeders that can do that well. [/QUOTE]
