Which mantises can be paired?

I know I've seen Dr. Roy mention having a couple of pairs of the larger zebras in his lab. Are there any of the smaller species that can be paired?

I'm thinking about getting a shallow 50g square tank to set up reef style that would highlight a mantis. However, being a rather large tank for the mantis world I'd rather like to get a pair for more dastardly activities.

I know the Odontodactylus species can't be paired but that's as far as my research has gotten me.

[Gonodactylus]

As far as we know, only members of the Family Lysiosquillidae pair. Some of the smallest (17 mm) of all stomatopods, Pullasquilla, pair.

Some gonodactylids such as N. wennerae mate-guard for up to a week or so, but the rest of the time they are aggressive.
