    Should I Switch to a Tank?

    Hey all, just wanted some opinions.

    Dumpling has been in a tub for the entire time he's been with me (a few months) and he's grown nicely! I know that BPs thrive in small spaces, but I've noticed him coming out at night and poking the top of the tub, and I think he's been catching his nose in some of the holes which has caused a little bit of irritation on his face. I'm wondering if he's just active or stressed.

    My question is, there's an Expo coming up on Sunday and I was thinking of picking up a 20 gal tank. It would give him more room vertically, which he seems to want based on how diligently he bops the lid of his tub. I know it's not impossible to maintain everything required for a good setup when using a tank, but I'm still nervous to drop the bucks and have him be even more stressed or depressed. I'm interested in the enclosures that open up in the front.

    So, opinions. Do you think he's stressed or just being active? Should I go forward with the switch?
