I wouldn't suggest putting a timor in any size tank. Aquaria are not a good choice for housing timors. Having glass on all sides will stress the poor thing out. I would also suggest that you don't keep timors, they aren't very fun captives. People always seem to think they are a cheaper alternative to ackies. Timors are too secretive to be good for the beginner. It is just too hard to monitor their progress. If you are dead set on going for timors 4'x4'x2' is about the minimum size for a pair.



Good Luck
