That's entirely to big for a dwarf retic. WAY to big, it'd be afraid the entire time it was in there.

Most adult retics do fine in 5ft long ( usually less ) by 3wide by 24inches. That'd be a bit big really, most breeders use smaller enclosures.

Yea, they are scared to death in the wild. Seriously, aquariums are for fish not retics. They can be used for hatchlings up until they are 6-7 feet and then it is time for a real cage. I happen to like Vision's 632 cage for my Jampeas. I recently moved my adult females into these. My male jamp is kept in a Vision 432 style cage.
