I am most likely going to create a Mantis Tank if all goes well.

Ok i am new to this stuff so please don't get mad if i post a to what seems like a stupid question :)

I was looking at the following for a tank:
Gonodactylus smithii
Peacock Mantis
Neogonodactylus wennerae

I understand the Peacock Mantis would need a 20+ gallon tank?
The smithii ? Gallon tank
and
Wennerae ? Gallon Tank

Now what kind of tank do i need?
Size
Things to go in the tank
Anything i left out :D

Where may i purchase a tank for a smasher (Non-breakable)

And any links regarding any of this too :) (I have read some things on the internet but would like to read up on them more before i buy)
 
wennerae dont need tha big of a tank, about a 5 gallon or so. thats what i have mine in and he only uses about 1/4 of the size. i think you would be happy with any of these three as they are all pretty hardy and interactive. i love my wennerae and would reccomend them to anyone.
 
i think what tank size you end up with should depend on the size more than the species of the mantis. i have a g. chiragra in a 3 gallonm tank but he is so small he is totally fine. Of course he will have to move when he gets bigger, but he is good for now.
