Tank pics

[marisa]

When we brought home our new little pacman yesterday we cut out a plexi glass lid for his tank...and set him up in a five gallon....one live plant, and I am trying Eco Earth. I hate the stuff but everyone seems to love it so I am playing with it again. Anyways here are some pics. Please mention anything you see that it's missing for a pacman.

Cool looking little guy and nice looking setup. I know nothing about packman's, but seems like they need allot of hummidity. With plexi glass lids one thing that I found that really helped air flow but kept hummidity up at the same time was to drill the holes in the lid at a 45o Angle. Helps stop the hummidity from escapeing and still allows you to drill quite a few holes in the lid.

Thanks for the tip! This one has 8 1/4 inch holes drilled straight down but if this doesn't suit my needs I will definitly try a new lid with holes drilled at an angle.

Here are some updated pics....we adding a few tropical plants to his enclosure, they are staying in pots though so I can fertilize them and keep him from getting access to the fertilized soil. They are doing quite well so far and look great:

There is a significant size difference between the sexes. Males can easily stay in a ten gallon their whole loves and have more than enough space. They are not very active, or built to be very mobile in the first place, so they do not require the space to jump around, such as a bullfrog might.
