Argent Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 what kind did you get? general mantis cult application involved pics proving you're the keeper of a mantis! oh yeah -- and pics pics and more pics! Link to comment
ram man Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 i wouldnt sugest a tank that small ofr a mantis, the minimal tank size for the smallest smashers(2"-3") is a 5 gallon tank Link to comment
Argent Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 don't listen to ram man -- if your mantis is under 1" it should be fine. I have one in my 1.5G Link to comment
ram man Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 yes but you forget that it will grow, and in some of your posts ive seen that you refer to dr. roy, all of the smallest species on roys list of stomatopods says 20l minimum. Link to comment
Argent Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 And I'm just pointing out that I've kept my 1/2" mantis in my 1.5G with no problems - it really depends on how big his mantis is. Link to comment
ram man Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 yes, but later on you will need a bigger tank, wich would be better to have in the first place. Link to comment
