    sure it can, but it probably will eat what ever it can catch and crack open.

    So the real answer should be no unless you wish to feed it expensive sushi.;)

    Probably, I was just being explicit as I know some mantis keepers do that.

    I've never had one, but the only stories I hear are that most people assume they die until they catch fish.

    but of course most people post they when they have problems.

    I assume in a small tank with little rock work it may be more fun.
