Tank size question and tank covering

[raynist]

What size tank are you keeping your peacock mantis shrimp in?

How are you covering the tank? Is there any fear of them escaping?

My options are in the middle portion of my 75g sump, where I will not see it much, or in a 20g long tank under the stand of another tank.

My peacock mantis is almost 4 inches long. About how old would he be? I have been feeding him freeze-dried krill and there is a molly in his tank that has been in there for 2 weeks. I have not fed him live food yet.

O. scyllarus will jump, but normally about 4 inches of freeboard is plent to keep them from clearing the tank. Personally, I feel that 10-15 gal is the minimum for a 4 inch O. s.
