    Jeez Jwin I thought you would know Peacocks don't pair. only L. maculata (and possible some other spearer species) pair and a 60g may be a little on the small side for a pair (it would depend on length more so than gallonage).

    yes that is very true. I think Jwin was meaning divide the tank and get 2 peacocks. and i actually had the chance to get a pair of L. maculata. but i didnt. lol
    and i might divide the tank in half but i dont know how happy they would be in a tank that is 15x18x25. i just want the best for them.

    Good choice on passing on the L. maculata. Beautiful mantis for sure, but boring. Also the burrow requirements make it too impractical IMO.

    very nice O. japonicus. Hopefully it stays healthy for you.
