Try the wenneraes from Tampabaysaltwater, I love mine, just got 'em a few days ago. only about 1.5". does not need bright light, and in fact some species like peacocks, will dull their colors under powerful lighting..

I am starting a 2.5 gallon minibow. Is there a small mantis I can put in the tank, or would that be too small?
