    FWIW, I had an almost 7" Peacock in my tank for almost 9 months, I cant count how many times she smacked the glass on my 20 long (even with my shoes off), which is still running (mantis free now). Personally, i think the whole idea of a mantis shrimp breaking glassis one of those things that spread like wild fire after just one incident......unless you put a 9" smasher in a 10 gallon tank, I doubt you will see breakage.

    This is Orca, the tank mate of Princess. I took this shot while sitting at my desk....see why I never get any work done?

    Not a really clear picture, but she's not very still either. Her colors have really changed over the last few months.

    Hey...I clean the tank like I clean my room...which is...well...ummm...:D

    I'll do a water change eventually. It's a good thing mantis tolerate dirty water lik I do :p Well actually, the water isn't dirty. Because all the algae filters it for me :lol:
