4" snowflake home

[Maika'i]

Hi, I just saw the smallest snowflake I have ever seen today for 15 bucks at the LFS, 4" long and maybe half a centimeter fat. I was tihnking of setting up a tank like 10 or 15 gallons for it so I can grow it out till its big enough for my bigger tank so my fish dont eat it. Is this a good idea or should I pass altogether?

At 4" it could be OK for a bit, but depending on the tank you're trying to grow it out for, you don't want it to get TOO big in there. I understand that at 4" they're worms, but at 7" or more it'll still be too much for a 10-15g and time to move it up. If you could set up a 20 gallon long (30" long) that would be better and you could probably grow it out to 10" in there, or 12" if you are that good at keeping it clean.
