I have a 20 gallon long aquarium sitting around so I thought I'd get a couple female leos? Is this too small? I really want them to thrive.

As for every thread I have some questions..I'll number them so it's easy to answer.

1. Can I use an Infrared Heat Lamp (Zoo-med) at night and a regular light bulb during the day?

2. Is 88 degrees a good temperature for the "warm" side of the tank? Can the other side of the tank be kept at room temperature. This will fluxuate from 68-72 degrees.

3. For substrate can I use this. The link is Here

4. Hides, one on the cool end and one on the warm end right? Are there any comericial hides available? How often and how should they be misted?

5. I should provide a dish with calcium in it? What kind?

If the questions could be answered as 1,2,3,4,5 I'd love it.


Thanks in advance for helping out a newbie!
