Depends on what you're looking for. The orange one and the two green ones all look like various color morphs of P. Cilliata to me and would be suitable for that 24g if thats what you're putting it in.

Not sure what the other one (serial # 11807126) is, perhaps Roy or someone else can help us out on that one?

I'm thinking that #11807126 is a Peacock so it too will need a 29gal tank for life. The Others as noted look like P. cilliata and would need something like a 20 or bigger. Personally i would go with the orange P. cilliata, as they are cool to watch stalking a damsel.

Yeah, tough to see without a good side shot to tell if it has the characteristic leopard spots or not.

oh none can go in a 10g?

It doesn't look like it. I suggest going to tampabaysaltwater if you want a 10 gallon mantis as they almost always carry N. wennerae. Most places don't have a consistent supply of mantises that will go in a 10 gallon
