How many have you had???? I have been researching them for years and have had one but I know of someone whos tank has been broken... I also know someone whos finger has been broken.... with that said it has been studied that even the smallest species of mantis has enough power to break glass.. first and foremost quit contradicting everything I say. How long hav you been keeping mantis? How many have you owned??? have you ever done research on them or are you just going on what you know from owning one??I am not saying its impossible to keep one in a glass tank I ammjust saying dont be supprised when your glass is broken.. and second I have been giving sound advice on this forum for along time you can ask any of the long time members here how long have you been around??? so quit trying top run your lip and start stuff... its people like you who give this forum a bad name... if ya dont like my advice go to another forum and spout off your crap there just leave this one alone.. and you are the only person that does not agree with me including all the zoologists on this board....... man you really are starting to annoy the heck outa me contradicting everything I say...

Here is mine. If u want a trick to keep them from buring and then trying to smash out the bottom of your tank get a big peace of L pvc and a lot of little rock's. Here check out my pic One of the happest mantes shrimp in the world lol. And incase anyone's wondering this is my 6th mantis. Only ever lost one (due to he was old and had fungus on him when i got him) and traded the outhers for outher mantis.

i saw one at my lfs and thought thay looked really cool but if thay cant be kept with other fish i might not get him he looked like the one mad about cichlids posted and was like 15$ the tank is acrylic but im not sure i whant to spend a bunch of mony on live rock and stuff for just the shrimp but thay still are really cool
 
"..man you really are starting to annoy the heck outa me contradicting everything I say.."

Isn't the point of a forum to provide varying opinions? SO maybe since we're contradicting everything you say, then everything you say might just be ....wrong?

I've owned five mantis shrimps, and know Roy Caldwell, the Berkeley Dr who has ~300 in GLASS tanks in his California lab.

So maybe before you start spouting all of this regurgitated, super anecdotal "i know someone who knows someone who...", you can maybe just sit back and realize you have almost no knowledge of these animals, and thus, have very little new, fresh information to offer us.

I'm not saying I know much about these creatures, I'm directly challenging you to provide us with a reason (other than your high post count) to take your advice to heart.

I genuinely hope you can provide some reasons.
 
I have owned them and only say things that are true What have I said that has not been true? Before you come on this website and expect to be listened to seriously you need to consider how you aproach the conversation.. I never said I know some one that knows some one I am the biggest hater of hear say info, I know a few marine biologist and a few zoologist that would back my statements up.
 
forgot to ask what about puting in another mantis shrimp like a pair or would thay kill each other
