Acceptable minimum for 1-2 HL’s among most keepers is 40 gallon. Smaller sizes they tend to stress too much and bump head first into the glass. I have made them for pretty cheap too. Just some wood trim stock, clear silicon, and a few sheets of cut glass or plexi from Home Depot or Lowes. Easy!

Just wondering if you’re going to make a habit of bringing back up to the top older posts, in order to restate what was already answered?

Like I said: amongst most experienced keepers, 40 gallons is acceptable for 1 OR 2. I prefer 55 for 2, but there is no concrete rule about it, other than most of the known experienced keepers will tell you no less than 40 gallons. Two of the same species and relative age will do ok together in a 40, especially smaller species such as platyrhinos.
