Mantis Diet

Hello, I am currently feeding my G. tern 'Formula ONE Marine Pellet' (its the one in the blue bottle) and I was curious if I needed to mix anything else into his diet? He has a snail/hermit about once every 10days or so as a treat. Any opinions or suggestions on what I should add or if I even need to add anything at all?
 
I would definitely add some frozen food such as shrimp, krill, squid, silversides etc. as mantises in general should have a varied diet and G. ternatensis should have in particular. Dr. Roy has expressed concerns with these animals because he has trouble keeping them long term in the lab. Also, soak the frozen food in selcon once a week. You should be feeding every 2-3 days, more or less often.

Thank you very much for your response, I will start mixing in food. Maybe I just got lucky then because my mantis is very very hardy I am quite happy :).
