Would you guys think an aquatop pisces 5 gallon cube but sufficient space for a smaller mantis shrimp? We have one that used to house my daughter’s betta and I’ve wondered if it would be enough space and strong enough glass for a mantis?

I know, I have provided 2 pvc hiding and a few more in live rock, I also have a 20 gal long. He has been doing well for a month, but I need to try to get some corals for it.It should be although 10g ideal
Provide plenty of cave like hiding
Depends on the mantis, but very thick glass or acrylic is perfered. I recently got a peacock he is like 4 inches. 1-3 inches for 10 gallons, but once it gets to 4+ 20-30 is a must. My 4-5 inch on is currently in 20 gallon long. They need lots of hiding places and very strong filtration. They hide leftovers for later so strong filtration is good. They usally eat crustations, so frozen krill will do the job but you will have to give it to them w/ tongs. Occasionally (like once every 1-2 months) I will give him a live crab to kill.Would you guys think an aquatop pisces 5 gallon cube but sufficient space for a smaller mantis shrimp?
