Meh.
Take me out of my natural environment and it doesnt really matter where or how you keep me, im still a prisoner.

I just found my mantis always seemed quite content in his cave, he never really explored much and never seemed stressed (though what a stressed stomatopod looks like, I dont know)

Do you not do water changes Polscot?
I think you'd find the issue you're talking about is easily solved with a bi weekly 25% water change...only 3 or 4 gallons in this case and not even much work with that little water volume.

if there are some facts Ive missd as to the range of this animal then I would really appreciate being informed. So, Im sure, would the next owner of this one.
