what does everyone keep their mantis' in?
i hear alot of people keep them in the eclipse tanks, but for
some reason i don't like those tanks because it seems kinda
cheap and flimsy... i don't like the thickness of the aquarium
and the lil built in filtration seems cheesy too...
i only ask this question because i'm currently getting more
mantises then i can find tanks for.. and it's getting kinda expensive to buy small acrylics + wetdry + heater etc... to house
these lil guys..
 
I've had mine in an eclipse 12 and he is doing just fine. The acrylic on the eclipse 12 is strong enough to withstand a pounding...but the way I see it...if your mantis is happy, he has not reason to be pounding on the tank. Mine has never pounded on anything besides the cave he lives in...and that was just to make it bigger cuz he's still growin. An eclipse is probably one of the bests tanks to keep a mantis in as far a cost wise. Hope that helps:)
