Im interested in making a mantis shrimp tank but im not finding to much info on them online. I am aware they will eat anything in the tank and acrylic is prefered over glass as they can break glass. What is the recommended size tank to keep them, can more than one be kept together, are some species hardier than others?

Good luck trying to catch him if you fail once on any attempt via a trap / net etc. You probably will never catch them they very smart and fast learns. Best of luck
