[Jakor13]

Hey everyone, I couldnt help but want a mantis after reading this! I currently have two tanks cycling, one is a 36g that is all set up for a reef commutinty....BUT I also have a random 26g cycling that I just kinda am cycling for the sake of "just in case"..liikkee this! Is there any species that would "filll up" the tank? by fill up I mean that wouldnt look small compared to the tank and that would be out and about a lot!
The tank already has a dsb so it could build a burrow pretty easily.

Hello and welcome to forum. What are dimensions of 26 gal tank (length x width)?

[micstarz]

Maybe a P. ciliata.

Welcome. I would suggest a small peacock and transfer it when it grows but I have never kept one before. Lots have here though and can give you some good peacock advise.

A peacock might be alright. Dr. Roy says a 40 gal is best, but if it's 25" long I guess it's fine. Just my opinion, though.
