    In a small tank like that, a mantis will kill any fish you put in there. Even if the fish stays off of the sand bed. Trust me!

    my friend had a peacock mantis shrimp in his 300 gallon temporarily and even with that much space and regular feedings his mantis shrimp still killed some of his fish and inverts

    I really don't think that a mantis shrimp would care about slime...

    Mantis shrimp are PREDATORS slime will not get in their way :p
    I really advise you not to have a mantis shrimp in any tank less than 20 gallons. They are awesome but a 6 gallon is just too small for them.
