thanks, yeah we have like a 40+ gallon aquarium for them right now. The guy said since they are so small right now it would be fine but as they grow we need to get a bigger one for them and I'm fine w/ that I will get them a larger tank as they get bigger and need one.

We named them Hank & Hannah.
