makes me want to keep my own stomatopod....but scared to come back finding a broken tank and water all over the floor...bulletproof tank $$$

no need bulletproof tank....

normal tank will do...

mantis seldom wack the tank... unless u provoke it....

they will just wack the LRs to create its own batcave.....

blardee cool! Tell me you put that mantis inside INTENTIONALLY! I've got one, but am thinking how I can get rid of it.

some ppl do keep mantis intentionally.....

like myself... or i used to....

its actually goot to keep a small mantis in the tank.... small enuff to finish all your leftovers... but not big enuff to wack fish...
