I purchased a baby ally a few weeks ago and he has been doing great. I have one question that i can not seem to find in any care sheets. How deep can the water be in the tank for a little ally.??Its now about two inches deep, just enough so he can rise a little and stretdch his neck enough to get some air.Hes in a ten gallon now, just till he gets bigger. Thanks

I think it's best if it's only an inch higher than its shell.

You know, some people will tell you its OK to have a little deeper.
My thought is this with new hatchlings...
Give them a good steady start. They still can be fragile. Keep the water a little more shallow.
Keep food in front of their face, don't make them work for it.
I usually keep small guppies or rosies in the tank. Keep everything nice and warm and quiet.

They get more hardy as they grow.
Just let them get established .

They are great swimmers and it is good for them to excersize.
When I had 5 at once one time, I had a long skinny 40 gallon set-up.
I made one end really shallow and the other deepr and let them choose where they wanted to hang out.

Sounds like what you're doing is fine.
