peackock in a 25?

[markeo99]

I am wanting to get a mantis I may have a 25 gal acrylic tank it would be tied in to a 150 gallon system
how big do peacock mantis get and is this tank big enough

 

[T-T-Trigger]

yes it is big enough, imo - i think they get no more than 6-7" ( ? i havent kept one for awhile now) - but in any case that tank should work great.

What's the smallest size tank a peackock could go in? I've heard of them being able to go into a 5 (with lots of w/c)

Lots of People disagree with me, but pesonally I think peacocks need atleast a 30-40 gallon, depending on the Aquascape and dimensions. I have mine in a 20, and it sucks for both of us. She hardly has any room, with all the aquascape, and what she does have room to play in usually ends up EVERYWHERE.......she loves to make a mess. I think all mantis shrimp have different personalities, and mine just likes the sand.......Ive never seen her on the rock work, which is why it sucks.
