After spending a couple of weeks trying to catch a hitchiker mantis in my TBS rock for my 40g, I became attached to the little guy and couldn't get rid of him. So I stared a new tank just for him.

Tank is a 5.5g Petco special, with an old heater I had. The filter I also had on hand that i stuffed with marinepure biomedia balls from the back section of my 40g AIO. Rock is caribsea liferock and sand is caribsea special grade arag-alive.

Tank was started with Fritz zyme 9 and I used the water out of my main tank.
