ok, i really want to get a mantis. they are fansinating and beautiful...BUT i need to learn about them 1st! i am not gonna hop in w/ not knowledge and kill one or mess up. so are there any books specifically on them. or where can i read about what they need to be happy and so forth.
would i need an acrylic tank or is that just a scare tatic?
like a 10gal or less tank 4-6" sand bed of fine grain? 1 13w PC bulb, 5lbs LR, hot filter w/ media removed, 50w heater, the usual stuff for a tank.
what about a skimmer? is that a good thing since they probably have a high nutrient environmetn due to high feedings.
any websites or places i should go?
thanks for all the help
hope to have one sometime in the near future!
