Peacock mantis shrimp tank?

Can a peacock mantis shrimp live in a 7 gallon? Have an old kit aquarium that I think would work great

I have no experience with these and read online that small tanks usually work. I can always go bigger!

The site written by an expert in mantis shrimp care that I linked to in your earlier thread says they need a tank of 100 liters (which is 26 gallons).

You could also check the mantis shrimp section of this forum and see which species can do well in small tanks.

edited to correct information. I originally typed 1000 liters but meant 100 liters.

I think you typed one 0 too many.

But yes, 7 gallon is way to small for a Peacock.
