Question Would a 5.5 AGA be OK???

Hi, i may be going tommorow to get a new tank for my G. smithii, it will be a 5.5 aga, all glass, the reason im getting a new one is my 6 gallon eclipse is all scratched up. So, will a 5.5 AGA be ok for my smithii?

5.5 should be enough, but why not go with a ten gallon?

yeah if you go a little bigger there are a lot more things you can do with the tank besides the mantis

let me rephrase that, besides JUST the mantis. of course the mantis is the best part! if you have a reef tank you could connect tthe two and make it a mini refugium. that is both helpful and entertaining

its for my desk and the biggest i could go is a 7 gallon minibow. i am not willing to pay 80 bucks for one, so a 12 dollar 5.5 sounds ok.
