A mantis is not going to cause stress in fish. It will just strick and kill wo any fish knowing what is going on.
I can say that your tank has been way overstocked for being such a new tank. Give some info about all the fish you have put in, as well as sizes. What are your acclimation procedures? What type of filters are you using and how is the water circuation? What substrate? Are you adding more than 1 fish at a time. Are they getting a parasite or introducing fish disease to your tank?
