Yep, and for lighting, just keep it moderate. Too bright can stress them out, especially if they don't have enough cover.

Yeah, 5 gallons is cool, but bigger is always better. My dude's in a 10-gallon, and he's living his best life. Plus, you can add some chill tankmates like snails or shrimp if you've got the space.
