Two Mantis Shrimp Together?
 
I just had a quick question: Can you put two together? Thanks!!!

I believe they are the same species. Both are 3"-4" and the tank they would go in is 30 gallons.

unless they are a male and female Lysiosquillina, they will kill eachother at the first molt. If they are Lysiosquillina, a 30 gallon is far too small for the extremely deep sand bed they require.

Yes they will kill one another, plain and simple.

Dim trhe lights, play a little Barry White and maybe pour a little wine in the water to break down any resistance! <lol> Sorry, I couldn't resist!!!! Let us know how you make out.
