Heating requirements for gonodactylus chiragra mantis shrimp HELP PLEASE

[Stomatopods]

So I'm looking at mantis shrimps and I like the gonodactylus chiragra. I have a filter and everything except I don't know what temperature to keep the tank at any help would be highly appreciated

How big of a tank do you need for one of these amazing monsters?

I think mantis shrimp are amazing, but couldn't sleep in the same house as one; I'd worry it would crawl out of the tank at night and punch me to death in my sleep.

I'm using a 10

There's actually a Mantis Shrimp specialty forum where you can get species specific advice. In general mantis shrimp don't need a lot of space - most of them spend their lives in a burrow in the wild.

A 10 gallon is not sufficient. I keep mine around 79.

78 would be good as well, anything above 82+ would be bad.

Roy's list says a 10 gallon would be ok and my lfs said it would be fine for a g. Chiragra

Be sure to get a small one, you will want to upgrade when it gets larger
