HI All
My son really wants to have a mantis shrimp in his tank a peacock one , now with that said I want it to be safe so we were thinking acrylic, we asked around and got sticker shocked , we got hit with prices ranging from 5 to 15K for a tank that was to be mantis safe....
So we are thinking of making it a project, as in building it ourselves....anyone got advice for us? we kind of want to build something around 120 to 250 gallons (a mantis alone would be boring) so we can house other 'mantis safe' animals (if there are any)
Any advice as to providers , or vids are greatly appreciated, we will be at moody gardens for the tour regardless and will ask around there too....
thanks
Glenn and Chris
