what size tank should i use?

[Adamski]

I have two giant asain mantids and was wondering what size tank would be neccesery for them as adults.

right now i have a tank for each of them but might be putting them together and will need a larger tank.

I wouldnt keep them together if I were you, especially with that species. They will definately eat each other.

Thanks,

Andrew

For that size mantis I use a divided ten gallon

Nice tank

Makes me jealous.

What sort of flooring is that you are using?

what dimensions does that tank have and how long are those mantids?

That is sphagnum moss. It is a ten gallon tank divided in half. Those mantids are a few inches long in the pic but they are adults now and still have plenty of room.
