Need some help getting started

[cro117]

Hi, I was thinking about starting a 5 gallon mantis tank and could use some help. the species I am considering is Neogonodactylus wennerae, and I would greatly appreciate any info or personal experiences with this spices. Mainly, though, I would like to see some pics of Neogonodactylus wennerae if anyone has any they'd like to share.

Also, can this species cause any real damage? there is a mantis shrimp at my work that is about 3" and have been hit by him before. While it stung a bit, it didn't have that much of an impact so I now feed him by had with no real fear.

Thanks for any help, cro.

No real damage as far as I can tell, except for the rocks, hermit crabs, and snails..lol I wouldn't want to get hit my him..just make sure you feed him with a wooden skewer....or you could just feed him live food..either will work well.
