I am soooo hooked and have been reading this whole forum and am going to order a mantis on Monday. My question is, would a 7 gallon bowfront with hob filter be enough for one... at least while they are smaller? I wouldnt think they would need a fuge or anything. Thanks guys!
could I?

N. wennerae are common hitchikers on Florida live rock, and are a great species for smaller tanks. I have one in a 12 gallon nano cube, have had it a while and it has grown to close to 3". I could see it being happy in a tank about half the size. Just watch water quality carefully.
Where are you ordering it from?

Ive been searching for a good place to order from, so far I've looked at liveaquaria and then also a place about 45 minutes from my house that does wholesale fish sales.... figured they might get them in on live rock every once in a while.... Have any suggestions?

the N wennerae seems kind of dull to me though
are they?
are they?
mine is a very pretty deep yellow-green color, and is very active in the tank. it's always moving pieces of rubble around the front of its rock burrow, or smashing the rock to make a bigger house. it is a very fast predator, and its favorite food right now is live fiddler crabs.
it is kind of acrobatic, turning in circles inside its house, then peeking out. if I didn't hear it smashing all day, I would miss it.
I don't think it's dull at all, either in looks or personality.
