Well I would have to be careful with that--she would most likely turn that around and say I have so much fancy stuff in the 200 and she wants all kind of Mantis Shrimp!

i agree with the acrylic thing aswell. they are also known as "Thumb splitters" as they have been known to break fingers. just my 2 cents and all i have read that hasnt already been said.

I told her about the fingers in hopes that would deter her but no luck

Im just kidding though...I would be happy to set up a proper Mantis tank for her if she really does want it.
