Just picked one up

[rudyistaken]

I just picked up a 4 inch mantis shrimp.

I orginally had the tank set up for a dwarf octopus. Ocoto did not come in but a 4 inch mantis did. Up until now I knew nothing about them.

What is ideal temp, lights, setup etc.

Any proof to them breaking aquariums if they get upset?

As far as breaking glass it depends on what type of mantis shrimp you have. Smasher or Spearer and also the size if it's a smasher.
