I just got my wife a baby red ackie. its about 6 in. long. I have in a 20 L wide. She wanted a pet so i got here this guy. i only paid 40 bux for him. we are gonna go get another one some time this week so he has a friend. any recomendations for making him happier.

Is an ackie a moniter?

I may be wrong, but a 20 gallon tank sounds too small, try for a 50-60 gallon, especially before you get two.

Any pics? and $30!? what a price! nice find :clap:

well its really big actually. its like 15 times his length long and 2 1/2 times his length wide.
