1 gallon tank...

[XxAngelzDustxX]

Is there a Mantis I can keep in a 1 gallon tank? How long until I will need an upgrade?

Neogonodactylus Wennerae comes to mind. Just keep the water decent.

S !

I just realized theres no pic!

Would a Neogonodactylus Wennerae be ok in this tank?

I won't be using that gravel of course

Assuming basic saltwater husbandry... yes, I think that'd be a fine tank. I assume there is some circulation in there? I'd put 4" of fine sand covered by an inch of coarse live sand. Then I'd add a nice chunk of properly sized liverock for your mantis to live in.

Water changes are the key to a tank that small, maybe 1 cup or so a week.

HTH.

I could't find one like mine but I think this is a better deal.

Well my little guy is a N. Oerstedi. Not nearly as colorful as some, but just as fun to watch. I have this huge rock that must be hollow, as he goes in one hole and out another. Try to find a nice holely rock for it.
