Is there anything you have to do to it to make it hamster friendly? Also, if you have any pics to show me of a good size black bear hamster aquarium/cage that would defiantly win best answer!
OK, I know about the ventilation thing that’s why I’m asking! Do you poke holes in it lol or what? I know you can use them I just don’t know how to make sure it is a nice, safe cage for my hamster.

A rectangular aquarium is to be 4 ft high and have a volume of 88 cu ft. The base, ends, and back are to be made of slate which costs $1.35 sq/ft, and the front is to be made of special reinforced glass that costs $2.35 sq/ft. What should be the length and width of the aquarium to minimize the cost of materials, and what is the minimum cost to build the aquarium?

I’m planning on building an aquarium stand which will hold 55g of water. Are pocket screws strong enough for this? This is going to be my structure (http://freshwatercichlids.info/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/diy-aquarium-stand-300×252.jpg)
or is screwed butt joint better?

1. What kind of plant this is? Similar plants they will eat?
2. How can I grow them at home?
