They will not jump out. Good size tank for one...just needs more rock...I just moved to Japan from California 2 weeks ago and grabbed a 28g nano cube, I was thinking about getting my first mantis shrimp for it but the tank doesn't have a top. Seeing your adventure in this I was wondering if you thought it was safe or do they try and jump out of topless tanks?
New tank still cycling.

Noted more rock for caves, how deep of a sand bed do you think would be good? Right now im at 2 inches but if a mantis shrimp likes digging there own tunnels im willing to hit maybe 5 inches. The larger rocks are resting solid on the bottom with sand filled in around them.

A power strip getting switched off is a mistake! But please, don’t let it ruin your love for this animal! I would try another whenever you feel you have the time to start again. Best of luck.I haven't posted in a while because I have been very disheartened. over Christmas, I spent a week in France visiting family. when I returned home the power strip that feeds my heater, skimmer, light, and return pump, had been switched off. I also didnt heat my apartment while away. the cold and stagnant water was too much for Sushi and she didn't survive.
She was doing so well, her new arm had almost completely regrown after a couple of molts and I was enjoying hand feeding her as well. She will be missed.
I'm not sure if I should try to keep another mantis shrimp. I don't feel like I've been a responsible fishkeeper after two deaths on my hands. I really love these animals and recommend them to anyone interested but I'm not sure I deserve another chance. what do you think?
YAY! Glad you didn’t give up!Please welcome the new king of the nano tank, Saitama. Some of you may get the name ahah. I got a lead out of the blue that someone was rehoming their mantis shrimp and I jumped at the chance!
