I'm just wondering what the minimum enclosure size would be to house two male green anoles together with three or four females?
Thanks,

I know for a sexed pair a 10 gallon would be ok, and a 20 gallon for a trio. so i'd assume a 50-55 gallon aquarium. the males will fight when its breeding time so the larger the tank the less likely they will run into each other to fight. But i'd say around a 55 gallon should be fine for 5 or 6 anoles.

Anything less than the size of a small room and you run the risk of the two males killing each other. They are extremely territorial. A 55 would be fine for all of them except one of the males. Keep him separate. Or do two 40s and split them into two groups so each male has a female or two. Make sure the enclosure is well planted so the females can get away from the males if they need to.
