Looking for a 20 long to set up as a mantis tank --I don't need any equipment, just a glass box. PM me if you've got anything you'd like to sell.

Wasn't it Mantis that were supposed to go into acrylic because of the cracking power? Or am I confusing them with another shrimp?

Your not confusing it, some mantis are able to chip or break thin glass.. The power of a mantis's strike increases (Exponentially) with it's size --If the shrimp is much below 5 inches you don't really have to worry about the glass breaking. All of the mantis I'm looking at max out at around 3 inches in length.
