Pygmy cage what size should I get?

[Mikael]

What would be better and how many pygmy scan I keep in each. I want to get an exo Terra tank and these are the sizes I was thinking in your opinion what is the best size

24x18x18
Or
18x18x24

In my experience they prefer horizontal space over vertical space.
The recommendation for keeping Pygmys communally is 5 gals per Pygmy. With only one male per tank.

Remember you will lose 4-6" of space with putting in a proper sub layer and soil bottom.

The most I would recommend is 3 in that size cage. No more. But make sure it is heavily planted and they have tons of pathways!
