    Re: Planning on getting a new tank?

    If you really want a tank then get a 20. 40 would be too big and could cause some issues even if its cluttered. Plus, clutter makes cleaning harder and improper cleaning leads to a sick/unhealthy animal. You can find them pretty cheap. You can use aquarium backgrounds. I did when I first started. When the 20 starts to get small u can try a 40, but by then i bet you'll have more and will be looking into racks
    Racks are harder to heat than glass tanks. Tub are much better at holding humidity in though.
