Does anyone have any pictures they could share of setups that house more than one mantis? I'm currently building a double setup, but would be very interested in what others have done.

Thanks.

There was someone on here a year or so ago that had a divided setup but I can't remember the user name. They had some videos on you tube though. Maybe someone remembers the name. He was on here a lot but got banned.

I don't know if this would help...these are my very old setups that are long dismantled and Mantises have pass.

Basically i used an plexi sheet in the pictures above...that is cut to tightly fit inner dimensions of the tank. So i didn't use any silicon or glue.

What i use now is egg crate for the larger spears and 3/8" acrylic sheets for me smashers. I weld a small sheet of acrylic at the bottom to make a base and its free standing secured by the substrate within the tank. Clean simple and removable. Like this...(this fits tanks of 15Long 20Long 33Long gallon aquariums)

For mine i just siliconed a plexi panel with lots of small holes in it, and put a piece of glass over the top of it so neither one could climb over the divider.
