I have a few questions about Peacock mantis

[Saj]

What is the best size for captivity?

How long do they live for?

Based upon a 18cm individual what dimension tank should I get, plus glass thickness (bottom and sides panels)?

Would a 10cm individual grow into a 18cm in captivity?

I've seen roy's comments about 100litres, can this water volume be shared as long as they don't share the same floor space? I've seen a tank 36"x18"x18" (with 6mm sides and a 10mm base) that I'm thinking of dividing into 2 sections. Adding decent skimmer and a fuge for cheato. What are your thoughts? - I think its not recommended but i thought i would ask

Right,

I've pretty much worked out most of my questions from previouse posts.

If someone can answer these 2, i would be graetful

How long do they live for?

Would a 10cm individual grow into a 18cm in captivity? or what are the growth rates like?
