mantis caught

good suggestion paul. but i want to enjoy him. out in display. and a better "home" for him than my sump.

 

lets say someone is setting up a mantis tank, possibly right now. lol. what would be a good substrate depth? would 1 1\2 inches be good ? not enough too much?

 

Im not familiar with mantises but, best of wishes Pics please!!!

 

thnx rg. all in good time my friend. lol. will also post the blueberry gorgonian i bought today.

 

Sweet deal! You're making me jealous. I want it to be tuesday . (my duncans and brain corals/lobo's come)

 

i look forward to enjoyin yours too when you post pics. lol

 

under the increedible pressure from y'all . felt i better get these up. lol. excuse the pic quality as they were taken from above a 5 gallon bucket and the waters a bit cloudy. as far as the tank is concerned, its your basic 10 gal starter kit. theres 2 more pieces of lr to go in. 1 in which the mantis lives in. substrate is 1 1\2 inch crushed coral. water and lr were from my main tank.
