So I have 2 four month old cherries on hold. Hope to get by end of month. I do plan on getting a couple more as well. ;-)
I am having a hard time figuring out what type enclosure to use for them. I currently have a 55 g and 40 g tanks available. I have been scouring for a rubbermaid tub type and haven't found one that is long and deep enough, the one I got I realized wouldn't be tall enough once I put substrate in.
I live in CO, have NO humidity. I am thinking I would have an easier time keeping humidity in a tank rather than a plastic tub. My breeder is not a fan of aquaria.
For substrate will be using coconut coir, some soil (want to grow plants) and peat or sphagnum moss. It would be much easier to change substrate, clean out in a tub- the 55g is not movable and the 40 g would be awkward to dump substrate out of. But both of these would be tall enough to build a second level for a little more space.
Thoughts? Anything to help me make a decision? ;-)
Thanks
