I currently have an 'empty' 20 gallon tank in my office. It's a standard all-glass aquarium with about three inches of aragonite formula on the bottom (used to be a dwarf cichlid tank). I've also loaded it up with about fifteen pounds of live rock. The substrate is chock full of fauna and the tank itself is looking great. A have three hermits and three astrea snails that roam around, but that's really it. The tank's been sitting 'unoccupied' due to a small velvet/ich outbreak that I could catch in time; but it's been empty for over two weeks.
I'd like to try it as a mantis tank, but I'm worried that the mantis will either grow too big for the tank or break the glass.
Any suggestions for smaller varieties that can be kept safely in a twenty gallon tank?
