Mantis shrimp needs home

[VintageReefer]

Why not

Size limitations. How big does this guy get? This pico is 1.1g peninsula

I am somewhat experienced with mantis, I bought and raised a 2” peacock to full grown and had him as a pet in a species tank for 5 years.

I do miss having a mantis, their intelligence fascinates me. And this micro mantis might be a good fit for my acrylic pico. I just don’t know much about this particular species and will have to read up.

They need at least 5-10 gallons once they get to the full size of about 3 inches. I think that would be fine for a few months

Space wise n. Wennerae could be fine in 1.1, I’d be more concerned about the glass thickness, tighter space + smaller tank means more likely breaks.

They’ve broken out of similar sized containers I’ve had submerged in larger tanks. I would never house one in a pico that didn’t at least have acrylic laying on the bottom.

Could he live in here ?

No that is way too tiny. But a few sexy shrimp and some snails and hermits would be happy in a pico like that.
