20g is too small for an adult, not enough room. A 29g should be sufficient enough for a sanchezi though.

A small rhom would be ok in the 29g for a while but will outgrow it after a year or so.

sanchezi should be ok, I think it only gets to about 7-8". but bigger tank is always better.

yeah only 5-7 inchs i know a bigger tank would be better, but not needed if i dont have the money when it gets that big, wish i could get a rhom but that will have to wait a few more years untill i get another big tank

try craigslist if you don't mind used tank, sometimes you may just find a big tank at a great price.

only one more year to college so I dont want another big tank yet. craigslist is good tho, ill keep my eye open you never know might find a good deal that i cant pass up
