Anyone keep a mantis in their fuge? Im kicking the idea around of giving one my 75G fuge as a kingdom his/her own. Trying to weigh out the pros and cons, anyone want to chime in?
I figure the worst that would happen is the slow and steady decline of the clean up crew that is in the fuge, however its just a bunch of stuff I would be feeding in a species only mantis tank, so I don't really see the difference. Anyhow, chime in please im curious if any of you are doing this.
 
I see no real fault in that plan. What type of mantis are you planning on? 1 concern would be while it kills your cleanup crew it would also make more waste. since your tank sounds pretty big this won't really hurt your water quality much. But I am new to saltwater as a whole (I don't even have a SW tank yet :p ) so some one else should probably chime in with their opinion.
 
it would just be a decline in the clean up crew, the waste really wouldnt add that much more to a huge water volume like that, also if it is a peacock you do run the chance of it having a mass kill ff of the crew as soon as its in the tank
