Although they are suggested for tanks of at least 20 gallons, most people keep them in ones as small as a 10 gallon. I guess 5 might be pushing it though. So, this really doesn't help zebra. I'm just wondering what kind of lizards daka has.

djtj Fish Master Posts: 1764 Kudos: 885 Votes: 49 Registered: 20-Feb-2003	"anoles wouldn't work in a tank that size, they get 5-8" long" What kind of lizards are you keeping??? I've only seen ones in the petstore that are 3 - 5inches long. I know they have bigger ones down in Florida, like the knight anole, but I've never seen a common green anole over 5 inches.

djtj Fish Master Posts: 1764 Kudos: 885 Votes: 49 Registered: 20-Feb-2003	But just in case your not sure about bettas, a 5 gallon would still be good for ADFs, a tarantula, a scorpion, a pair of anoles, a pair of long-tail lizards, or a pair of house gekos. I mean, come on, everyone breeds bettas. How many people do you know that keep pet scorpions?

zebra Fish Master Posts: 1671 Kudos: 291 Votes: 37 Registered: 08-Oct-2001	ya- when i read the choices you listed i knew that you probably thought of a bigger tank!! ~!!I lOve LiFe!!~

djtj Fish Master Posts: 1764 Kudos: 885 Votes: 49 Registered: 20-Feb-2003	oh wait, 5 gallon? I was thinking bigger, I don't know why. Most of my choices are for 10 - 20 gallon tanks, my bad. Bettas are nice, but so are some different kinds of reptiles...
