A good starter tank for a hatchling is a 10 gallon tank (approx. 20"L x 10"W [50 x 25 cm]). A young adult requires a 20 gallon tank, and full adult may require a 30 gallon tank (36" x 12"W [91 x 35 cm]).

Thats really too small. Once they hit a year old it really becomes too small. You'd have to have some unknown dwarf ball to do that.

Try a 35.
