Hi, I just ordered these for my 1st attempt at mantis keeping,
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7752847570&rd=1&sspagename=STRK:MEWN:IT&rd=1
and would like to know exactly what kind I'm getting.

Will a 10g aquarium work for hatching and keeping them for a while?

Are tiny crickets ok for nymphs? Getting fruit flies is going to be fairly difficult I think, and I've never raised them before.

I thought I was going to be all kinds of unique in keeping pet mantids until I found the forum here. Way to go and ruin that buzz folks.

thanks in advance for the help
