Can two tiger salamanders be in the same home together?

[dixychickca]

I might be getting a second tiger salamander, however I'm just waiting to hear back from the warehouse My little guy is 7 1/2" and I am wondering if I can get a second one and not have any issues. I know I have to get a bigger tank for him/them because a 5g is definately not big enough to house two of them, barely one. Would one be agressive toward the other one? If anyone has any information about having two together, please let me know. Thank you

What size tank is needed to house two tiger salamanders?

I'm thinking of getting another salamander, and I don't know what size tank to get one. Now I have a 5g tank and apparantly thats too small to house one salamander. Any information will be helpfull. Thank you.

I'd suggest at least a 30 gallon tank. They are fairly cheap and would be a large enough size for 2 tiger salamanders.

A 10 gallon is enough for 1 salamander and a 20 gallon long will be just fine for 2. They may use the same hide but in order to reduce the chance of any problems I would go ahead and offer 2 or 3.

That's what I was going to suggest Justin, but then I saw that on the Axolotl.org Tiger Salamander section, it said 1 Tiger needed an 18x12x12 tank. Is that info misleading?

A standard 10 gallon tanks measurement is 20x10x12.
