Huge mantis shrimp

[thefishofdoom]

3/4 of an inch glass seems weak for a 10" mantis

i agree
need thicker glass or possible acriclic or plexiglass

She has been in there for 2 years with no problem. A buddy of mine kept his in a 50 breeder its whole life! I see no problem with keeping it in a glass tank. esp 3/4in. I bought in from the LFS i work at in MI. she was around 5.5 in when i bought it. no doubt she could shatter the tank, however she doesnt smash food when its near the glass, she waits for it to come to her cave, or when its near the rocks.
