Hi, I am sending this to everyone because it has some differing advice than
others have provided, namely that the tank should not be too big or have too
many partitions/shelters or else the guys could get territorial. Gary would
be a good person to jump into this thread having successfully kept a boy
tank for an extended time -- not to mention helping me set up mine (thanks
Gary!) Donna A.
PS -- plenty of food, water, and cardboard to go around is also a good idea.
