Hi all,
I am currently using a 20 gallon tall with my one female Necturus maculosus. I really want to offer her more floor space, and I am thinking about getting a 20 gallon long within the next month or so. At first I was thinking about about a 29 gallon, but after realizing that a 20 L was just as long as a 29 gall (and cheaper) it seems to make more sense to purchas the 20L, then I also wont have to get a new tank, and I'll be able to use almost all the same water from the old tank. I am looking for some professional opinions on this. I also plan on using a screen top for cooling purposes and money. Also, I think I'll just sit my light from the tank I have now ontop of the mesh lid over the plant part of the tank. This will ensure there wont be too much light as there is with a full top light, but enough for the plants. I'll put the mudpuppy's favorite hides in the darker section. I understand the work and the stress the mudpuppy will face, but in the long run I think it will be worth it. So is it worth it? Thanks in advance.
