mantis requirments

[bigworm616]

ok i think i now want to get a mantis, but i would like to know what requirments it has and what species would be the best, i do not want a large animal. Ive heard of dwarf species and would prefer one of these. So if anyone could give some suggestions on which dwarf species is best please do.

I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, but I think N. wennerae stay very small and are common hitchhikers so they may be easy for you to get. www.saltwaterfish.com even sells them. Have you checked out any of these links? Good info.

These sights will tell you what dietary/housing requirements different types of mantis have.
