Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I just wanted to see what people thought about this idea. Right now at my local hardware store they are selling those trough kinda things for live stock. They have 75 gallon and 110 gallon ones. The 75 gallon ones are 30 bucks each and the 110 gallon ones are I think 55 or 60 bucks each. I have one alligator snapper that is about two years old and is around 7-8 inches and I also have a common snapper that is a year and a half old and is 6 inches. I was kinda leaning towards the 75 gallon ones just because 75 gallons is still bigger than what they are in now (which is like a 30 gallon long cement mixing trough) and its also cheaper. The question I have though is will 75 gallons be enough for them to live in for a while or will they grow out of it to fast. Is the 110 gallon ones to big for them right now? They both have kinda seemed to stop growing for the time being I don't really know how fast they grow but I've heard it takes a while. They have a mixture of comet goldfish and rosey reds always in their tank plus I feed them reptomin at least once a day and every two weeks they get fuzzie mice.

any comments welcome and appreciated

If you're gonna put both of them together, I'd get the 110 gallon one. Later on however, you'll need something a lot bigger for the alli snapper. Right now, I have my common snapper(8" SCL) in a 125 gallon aquarium in my living room. I'm eventually going to move him to a stock tank or dig an inground pond(small one).
