any mantis for a 3 gallon

[tubeworm_54]

i was thinking about setting up a three gallon aquarium for a mantis and i am wondering what kind is best for a tank that small.

thanks

I have a small G ternatensis in a 3g pico.

More suitable 3g species include wennerae, smithii, and anything smaller.

Look at the Haptosquilla species.

Yeah, I keep my Haptosquilla glyptocercus in an 8 gallon, but she would be just as happy in a 3 gallon. Just make sure to give it a rock with a hole about the size of your index finger pointing forward so you can see it. They almost never leave their burrows, but will sit with their front 1/4 outside of the hole all day.
