Default Phelsuma for a 10 Gallon?
I am thinking of getting into Phelsuma species now, and I have a couple of empty ten gallon aquariums taking up space, so I am curious about what species would be comfortable in a ten gallon aquarium? I already know about P. latiquada, and I have heard that pea**** day geckos could be kept in them (unsure) so what are some others? Thanks!

Jim

A pair of Pea**** Day Geckos could fit in there. So could a pair of Lined Day Geckos.

all of the smaller species can live in a 10 gallon as long as no more than a pair is kept. Some other available options include:

Klemeri, V-Nigra, Comorensis, Lineata, Dubia, Nigrista and Robertmertensi.

I'm new to Phelsuma, so I have one more question. Do you have to keep all Phelsuma in pairs?

Also, what would be a good idea of a price for a pair of pea**** day geckos? Out of curiousity.

You probably don't, most people who breed them do as they usually can't have trios.

From just a quick search, $62/each for an imported and $75/each for cb, but you could probably find a better deal if you really look.
