Ok, in the past I, like many others, have believed the only good bug was a dead one. I've probably caught two or three over the years......and proceeded to feed them to the fish. I was always interested in them though, but never had a place to put them. Now I'm thinking about setting up a tank just for a mantis shrimp. I have been thinking about setting up a 7g AGA bowfront tank. Originally, it was gonna be a nana reef with fish. Now I'm thinking of skipping the fish and going with a mantis in the reef. The only problem would be no clean up crew. How are you guys battling algae? Would a mantis be ok in this tank, obviously a small one? I would also LOVE to know a person or place selling them, and nice ones at that. I really don't want some boring brown one, but one that's as beautiful as it is deadly! Any info would be greatly appreciated.
