95g partitioned multi mantis tank new years build,

[Polscot]

so its happened im addicted to mantis shrimp.....i currently have 1 orange spot, 1 peacock and my newwest havented IDed yet, its a full red smasher....

so heres the plan, i want to tank a bigger tank so bout 50ish and somehow partition it so i can fit 1 mantis per 10g now i need to have all the filtration to work easily still so i cant partition to the top, but i dont want the little guys to hop over into eachothers homes.....also i dont wanna cap each section cause it makes feeding a pain......brainstorm and help me design something that will be perfect, im looking to hold 4 smaller mantis, 1-2" of each color i can find

i guess you could modify a sump to house different species or just take a tank and make your own partitions.i think a coast to coast over flow would work best for you my 200g has 75g partitioned off for a pred section

How about egg crate dividers. Will 1/2" squares be small enough?

thats a great idea and if they werent small enough you could put two sheets together slightly off set to make the holes smaller

All Mantis lovers may want to check out the new issue of Coral magazine. The issue is on Mantis Shrimp and wow crazy photos and of course good info. I'd also like to mention if no one has Coral mag is now a Free App for Iphone or Ipad.

the eggcrate prolly would work but im thinking something more appealing to the eye, and most small mantids could prolly crack and break through eggcrate if they wanted too
