Re: Cory's Mantis Tank Build

What kind of mantis are you looking at? There are tons of different species, it may be one that is compatible with a regular old glass tank. The peacock mantis not included, cause they are one of the most bad ass looking mantis shrimp but they get big, and can smash things!

Re: Cory's Mantis Tank Build

Oh for sure, You could fit a smaller species in there. Its acrylic too, so there wont be anything breaking that unless its a huge peacock or something, and those need like a 30+ gallon tank. Good luck, if you can find a small one they are really interesting to watch. I just added a blue and yellow damsel a few days ag and some pulsing xenia, both are all right including the hermit crab I added to test if a clean up crew would work. I'm surprised a spearer has left the little damsel alone, but so far the mantis just watches the damsel swim around...
