Good Morning!!
Me and my husband were wanting to get a Mantis Shrimp. I've personally wanted one for about 4 years now, and my husband has given the okay so I'm excited.
I do have some questions, and any additional input that I didn't ask about is greatly appreciated!

- Is there any suggested reading I should do?
- Tanks? Do I have to get an acrylic/plexiglass tank or will glass do? What size? Do I need any special lights? I've read where people said that usually when a mantis shrimp busts a tank it's when it is trying to burrow in the bottom, and to put rubber strips and fine sand on the bottoms with another layer of glass/plexiglass. Should I also make sure the thank is deep enough that it can make a burrow/nest?
- Are they salt water? I've never had a salt water tank before - so how would I go about that? How would I keep a salt water tank clean?
- Are there any specific rocks/coral/plants/other sea life that I should add to the tank?
- What kinds of things do I feed a mantis shrimp? Is there any no-nos on feeding?
