This glass breaking theory(new mantis owner)

[MantisMit32]

Just wanted to say I just found this site, My first post ect. I just bought a mantis shrimp pecock ect. I have him in a 72 gal bow front with a bunch of damsiels, he is about 6 inches long. My tank was empty at the time not knowing what i was getting myself in to i bought it. after i bought it my friend tells me I hope he dosent shatter your tank? I am thinking the same thing.

Don't worry! I'm sure your tank has over 3/8" thick glass. It would have to have one hell of a hit to break your tank! I think it is only in the smaller thanks that you should be worried, as they only have 1/4" glass. I don't think you'll need to worry about anything!

Howdy.
Yea your really not in any danger of it destroying the tank. Snails hermit crabs, shrimp, etc are in danger but not the tank.
