Mantis shrimp in a 10 g sump?

Hi, guys,

I'm building a 10 g sump and have always wanted a mantis shrimp, and since there wouldn't be much in the sump(chaeto and lr and sand) not much eqiupment( maybe a aqua clear 110 mod) and I also have heard that mantis shrimp dont like bright lights I thought it would be a perfect place for him! I was thinking peacock (might be big) or the lime green one on live aquaria. It would be an acrylic

Thanks!

 

is the sump viewable? if not , it would be a waste. especially if it was a peacock , but a 10 would be too small for it. ive found , mantis to be quite hardy , so lighting isnt that important for them. if you get one , enjoy it so it can be seen. good luck. theyre such a cool species,

guy

 

Whats the minimum for a peacock?

 

IMO, prob a 25. they grow to a good size. 6 inches or so.

 

What about the one? And I can have the sump outside. Do you guys think dr Caldwell is right in saying it cannot break 10 g glass aquarium? Can't find any acrylic ones...
