How much room does a 4 incher need?

I have a 10 gal set up that I have neglected to
mention. Steve said he would send me some sculphins
if he caught any, So I st up a tank for them. I
already have it cycled with "toughies" fromthe bait
store who are to be lunch for the sculphins.

I haven't mentioned the tank because it isn't
"stocked" and this tank may not be moved to the
school.

Now comes the obvious question about the strange
bedfellows ....
