About a month ago i upgraded my mixed reeftank form 100 to 200 gallons.
Old tank was running just over a year and with the live rock i inherited a mantis shrimp. I only worked out i had the mantis after about 9 month.
So when i upgraded i used my chance to get the mantis out of the tank. I listed him for free but nobody is interested.
I decided to get a small mantis tank and keep the little bugger.
Thinking about a waterbox 10 (40 lt tank). Problem is its getting dang hot here in Australia and the small tank will have no chiller on it, i think i could get away with a fan if the mantis can handle temps up to 28 degrees.
The mantis is a Gonodactylaceus graphurus. Can grow up to 9 cm. Its about 5 cm now.
