Hi everyone!
I'm new to Saltwater Aquarium and was wondering if the Peacock Mantis Shrimp would be a good choice to learn how to keep a Saltwater Aquarium (learn doing water changes, water tests and etc...).
I have read that the an adult can live in a 20 gallons tank, and that they are incredibly hardy and resistant to water change and have appetite for pretty much anything you throw... said that I want to ask if it is a good choice for someone like me, that know just a little bit about keeping Saltwater Animals ahahahah!
Do I want to know what the water parameters should be, best tank size, how many hiding spots, how many live rock and how much sand (I saw that they like to dig? I'm not 100% sure) and etc...
The Peacock Mantis Shrimp is probably at third place of my favorite Sea Animal, and I really want to learn how to keep Saltwater Animals, saw that my favorite animal ever is the Octopus and I really want to keep one in the future, but I know that they are really sensitive to water changes and in few words they are Expert Level Saltwater Animals... so I want to learn how to keep them heaalthy and happy!
Anyway thank really much for the help, I really appreciate it!
