Quick Question

can i keep either a snowflake eel or fuzzy dwarf lionfish with a peacock mantis shrimp in a 75g tank?

A large snowflake will eat eat a mantis and a large peacock may kill a small snowflake. Mantis are best for species tanks. There is a mantis forum midway down the main page if you are really interested in keeping a mantis.-- Anything posted by "gonodactylus" is 100% dead on concerning stomatopods.

+1 on all parts of the the previous post

gonodactylus is Dr. Roy Caldwell, a renowned mantis shrimp researcher

a peacock mantis deserves its own, spacious, tank

FWIW, I've had a SFE that ate a large horseshoe crab, an baseball-sized Dardanus hermit, and several fish, so nope.

Our peacock mantis tank (species only) was one of my all-time fave setups. I'd do it again in a heartbeat.
