Mantis in a nano cube?

[new2u]

Exactally my question right there. I was thinking about making a nano cube a little mantis shrimp for amusment between my tv and computer. Now here are my questions, a mantis alone is not going to suffice for my family, do you think a pair of bangii cardinals would be too much for him? What other fish would work? Also, what coral have you had success with? I was thinking about having TBS ship me the "package" and basically be gaurnteed a mantis. Anyone else have this combo?

How big of a tank are you going to put the mantis shrimp in. Be carefull of the cardinals. You could get a one that spears or one that is called a smasher. The smasher moves coral around. Oh yea. One more thing, thought this happens not so often, they can break tanks... Just warning you, would sux if you lost bost your tv and your comp because of the tank being to small for this guy so he decides to check out!!

I keep a a damsel and large 4-5 in clarkii clown with my 6 in peacock mantis in a 26 gal bowfront GLASS, He has never tried to break the glass thus far. Dr Roy suggest 6-8 mm glass for a mantis of this size, I believe my tank has 6 mm glass. He doesnt bother the damsel or clown... I doubt a little wennera from TBS would be able to shatter a glass nano cube... But if your worried, go acrylic
