Thanks for the introduction and all the great information. I was looking for some advice to start a set-up for my daughter (the budding entomologist).
She love's Mantids and I want to get her a few for her birthday (actually they're for me too). She spent last summer collecting Mantids in the garden and would enjoy scaring the neighborhood kids as they crawled up her arm. We had a resident in our butterfly bush that we would watch hunt down unsuspecting butterflies.
I've planning on converting a 20 gallon fish tank into a Mantis tank. If I split it into 3 each will be about 8" x 12" X 13", two would be about 16" x 12" x 13". What do you think would be the best configuration??
Any advise on what to get? Should I stick with the same type? or go for a variety?
Thanks in advance for any help
