My new peacock mantis

I just got him last week. It's amazing to see how personable and colorful they are. I'm so glad I got him.

Awesome! Does he hide alot? Also you think I could put one in a 6 gal nano?

you would want a one inch or so mantis for a 6 gallon tank. a wennerae or oerstedii. check out my oerstedii thread in this forum. a peacock needs 30 gallons due to waste and movement. very nice peacock btw.
