Mantis tank

So little update. So the little guy is a G. Smithii. Very lively and picked out a barnacle shell for housing. He use a few shells to close the door everynight. He's a little murder machine. Killing all the snails and hermits.

2 weeks ago the store also offered me a healthy peacock because first one died so quickly. About 3-4 inch.

It lives under the pvc pipe i made under about 2" sand. Comes out during the day to feed. I feed a whole fish to the peacock and toss a few half shell clams for other critters. The Smithii seem to like shellfish more

I used an acrylic divider and split off a small section for the Smithii. But somehow the dude loves to move across. With id say less than 1cm of spacing.

The peacock stays around it's rock and not bothering other critters.

I added some dalmation and black molly as CUC and some fish movement.
