    My Mantis Log

    April 11th, 2018 Well outta my 301 babies, I just have 15 left... The little deformed one didn’t make it to day three. I was expecting a huge population drop, but not something like this. I was thinking maybe 20 will make it to adulthood. I’m not sure if it’s on me or just something the native...

    My Mantis Log

    April 5th, 2018  I have separated out 301 little European mantids! I did find one that was weird looking (the last one), it’s a little baby that’s “neckless”. I’m a worried about its mutation and if he’ll do okay, but I guess time will tell how he does. All of em are in trios except him, he’s...

    My Mantis Log

    April 4th, 2018 (yesterday) The second ooth has hatched and I started to separate the babies (net cage has a space in between the zippers that is letting out fruit flies), so far I have 132 babies separated out into trios and fed. I originally wanted to wait until L2-3 to separate, but I guess...

    Those are some pretty neat shrimp you got! Orange eyed tigers are my absolute favorite. Good luck with your shrimp

    Hello From Markham, Ontario

    Welcome! What species of shrimp do you keep? I also love the aquarium hobby and have had red cherry shrimp and a blue morph of the species in the past.

    Breeding/keeping logs

    I'm looking for some breeding/keeping logs to read through, anyone know of any good ones on the forum? I haven't been able to find any so far, but I'll keep digging! I'll probably start my own once my ooths hatch, so I can record the life span, mortality rate, molt #s, pictures, sizes between...

    Hi!

    Thanks for the welcomes!  Yes, I didn't know mantids had the possibility of parthenogenesis, but apparently they are! Keeping Brunner's would be cool, since they're all females  :)

    Hi!

    Hi, I figured I'd make an introduction thread. I have kept a couple species off and on for a couple years. I got a Chinese mantis as a gift and I absolutely loved her! I ended up with a bunch of Miomantis paykullii, never bred them (I wasn't prepared for babies), but ended up with ooths.. I...
