I have one in a 3/4 full 10 gallon tank. He had two red clawed friends but killed them both! Tore their legs and claws off! I'd not have more than one in there. They're just too territorial and aggressive. I have a big piece of "driftwood" he climbs out on and waves his claws at me when he's hungry and I feed him by hand. He's very entertaining!

I have a HOB filter and the H2O is about 78 degrees with a little salt in it. Make sure the top is sealed 'cause he will get out!
