Spearing Mantis question.

[Brady4000]

Thinking of eventually making a new mantis build.

Can you keep multiple spearing mantis together?
Since they technically shouldn’t eat each other right?

Thanks for the input!

Potentially? I’d only try it with a small species in an extremely large tank. I haven’t found a whole lot of info on spearing mantises but I do believe they make big burrows. I do think there is a strong potential of aggression for territory and dominance, not necessarily a prey drive. Just my 2 cents, but like I said I haven’t seen a whole lot of info on spearers in general, and I’ve seen even less info on cohabbing any mantises

Yea I think your right about the aggression, ended up PMing some that had spearing mantis. Kinda said the same thing. Thanks for the advice! I’ll hopefully have my second mantis soon!
