I'm getting my first Softshell (a spiny) and I just want to clear up a few things for me. First of all, would a 10 gallon cage be OK for a little while if its a male? Also, what filter should I use that won't get broken from the sand? That brings me to, what sand should I use and what else should I put in his cage? I'm new at this, obviously, and I just would like to know how you all set up your hatchling's cages. Oh, and why are they called SPINY softshells anyway???????
