Tank Question

harman · 11-02-2006, 08:29 PM

I have a JBJ 12 gallon nano cube and I really want a Mantis. I know most of them should not be in a glass tank but I was wondering if there is any kind of Mantis I could keep in this tank.

You should be able to keep a N. wennerae. This is a really good website for finding info about mantis shrimp and their care requirements, including ID of unknown species.

Yep,
The ones that you want to avoid are the larger smashers that are 6" or more in lenght. The smaller ones you will be fine with.
