Depends on the fish and the mantises personality, and wether the mantis has stuff to hunt. Ive seen it before.

No, theyd be fine for quite a long time, but theyd not be quite as "natural" it will be fine, but for both species try to find a rock with a hole in it like I did for Davo.

N. Wennerae, or G. Smithii
N. Wennerae are available from Tampa Bay Saltwater, look through their site youll find it. U can also order through ur LFS
G. Smithiis are usually available through ur LFS or online stores like stomatopod dot com. Just look through that lin earlier, and find one thats interactive, and is good for aquariums, but I reccomend one of those two.

The stomatopod site has some really cool choices there. Says the G. chiragra is the most aggressive. Sounds like my kind of shrimp. Lots of pretty morphs too.
I would buy a tank for a shrimp if the bright yellow one wasnt a spearer or I could find a zebra morph haha

im pretty excited for new pics
. yeah ive already looked on stomatopod dot com....cool website. im gonna check 2 see if my lfs can get any in for me. my only problem is that they would probably get me something like a peacock mantis thinking its G. smithii or N. wennerae. i dont have enough room for a peacock
oh well. (sorry bout my double post earlier....my computer was being stupid)

how do you place corals into your tank or frag then ect with a mantis in there? i wanted my 3 gallon to be a frag tank as well as a mantis tank but im kinda nervouse about havin my hands in the water.
