Neogonodactylus wennerae tank

[BLockamon]

I wanted to get the opinion of some of the mantis experts out there.

Would a Current USA 12-gallon nano tank be a good habitat for a Neogonodactylus wennerae. I know that Dr. Roy lists 20 L (about 5.3 gallons) for an adult, so I know I have the minimum covered.

Do you think the shrimp would bet "lost" in a 12 or would he still be viewable?

Also, the Current USA tank as 4.5 W/gal of PC lighting. Is that too much for a Neogonodactylus wennerae?

Thanks.
Brian

I have my N.Wenn in a 20 gallon tank. He isn't lost in it at all... I see him just about everyday hunting around for some crabs or snails! I can also hand feed him whenever he is running low on snails and crabs. I don't really think lighting is an issue, as long as they have a good, dark cave they can go into. Altough, depending on the spectrum, Dr. Roy says they may change color

I think the current has 2 27w bulbs. If you want to you can always remove one of the bulbs and knock the light down to a more manageable level.

Thanks for the info.
