Honestly @NoahLikesFish, your brain is an amazing thing. I wish I could count the amount of questions you came up with in the last few days. Keep being excited, it’s a fun hobby. You’ll obviously enjoy it.
You now passed 1000 messages in only a few days. Blows my mind lol.

You bet they do! I currently have 7 in my 110g along with some tankmates and my L46 true zebra pleco.

The answer is “maybe”. Any mantis no matter what the size will go after a fish if they feel like it.
You have two kinds, a spearing mantis and a mashing mantis. Spearing Mantis will definitely go after fish, that’s what they hunt.
A smasher mantis will mainly stick to crustaceans, ( crabs, snails, clams etc.) But if it felt like punching a fish, it just might. If you have a smasher mantis with fish, it “might” be ok. But don’t get upset if the mantis one days decides to punch a fish because it got too close to it’s den or something.

To give you an idea, I have a peacock mantis, which is a large smasher mantis. The mantis tank mates are 4 damsels. There use to be 5 until he decided to punch it. The mantis didn’t even eat it, it left it for the hermit crabs. But he seems to get alone with the other 4 damsels. No idea why. Just a personally thing.

That person must be incredibly rich to risk keeping a gem tang with a mantis. Mantis are opportunistic predators, which means they will kill and eat fish if they are able to. That's not very easy, especially for smashers, so it won't happen very often, but it can happen at any time.
So the question you have to ask yourself is this: Do you want a mantis shrimp badly enough that you are willing to risk losing a fish to it?
