Finally!! Mantis on the way!!

[HouseDJSTL]

So I got a 2" Peacock Mantis on the way from Saltwaterfish.com. Is a 20gal. long enough room for him? Also, would a whisper 60 be an ok filter for him? This is my first mantis tank, so what would I need for him to be happy??

Thanks!

Anyone??

I would say yes and yes. If he really is only 2 inches (I bet he will be bigger) then 20 gallons will be just fine. Most people agree that a 20 gallon is big enough for a 5 inch peacock...

the picture of the peacock mantis on the saltwaterfish.com website, does not look anything like mine in terms of coloration. I know the colors can deviate substantiately within a species, but I have rarely seen a peacock look THIS different...
