Just got a little one in my room, its just the right size i think although ill prob upgrade to a bigger one later on.

Also as im running low on elec sockets i couldnt plug heater in so im having coldwater fish atm but i prefer to have tropical.

It is ideally placed with the spout 1cm below the surface of the water...so it disturbs the surface...means good oxygenation takes place...the valve (Cant remember the full name) should be sticking out the top of the water...

Got a turtle in a viv too.
