How long for a veiled baby in a 20 Gal?

[mudfish]

I already have plans to build a custom enclosure (24x24x36), but I am wondering how long I have before I start my build...

I plan to buy a 3-4" Male Veiled, and keep him in a 20 Gal (24x12x17) tall during the build, since I already have that. How long do you think he will be comfortable in there?? 1 month??? 5 months??? 2 weeks???

Just trying to get an idea, before I buy anything...

id say a few months, give or take, 2 to 3 months. maybe sooner tho

Just keep an eye on his temps in there.. a screen top is a must,.its harder to keep the temps where you want them, 80-85 bask area and 70-75 everywhere else...and its only temporary.. good luck and have fun building...
