Pygmies?

[hallenhe]

If I want pygmies, but do not necessarily want an exponentially increasing population thereof, is there any reason not to have, say, three females and no male? (24x18x24 EcoTerra). Could I reasonably have more than three in such an enclosure? I'm kind of thinking brevicaudus at the moment, but that may change subject to what's available out there (preferable captive bred or at least captive hatched) when I'm ready for my pygs.

You can have many females together, its the males you dont want too many of in one space.Thiers no reason you have to get a male, cb/ch females are better if you wanna be sure nobody is already preggers too. I've heard its 1 pygmy per 10 gallons of space. Remember to put lots of foliage and hiding place and to still watch them too but from what I've heard pygmies get along pretty well.
