    Well I don't believe it while trying to fish my Nori clip out the tank the infamous Mantis shrimp in my tank shows hiself (after 3 months of trying to catch him) and literally jumps in my Korila 3 it blows him back and its the catch of the year with my fish net. Mr. Mantis now resides in my 75 gallon that I just setup last weekend.What can I put in there with him?

    It will attack and eat any small fish. People usually keep them for species only tanks.

    Not true. I had a clown fish in with a smashing mantis for years and it never touched it.
