    I wouldn't fill the critter cage up more than half way. While they will hold water, they are not constructed to be filled with water. It may hold for a while, but rest assured, it will fail eventually.

    I called zilla ,once, regarding this exact question.
    I recall them saying 4".
    However, I did not ask how long the water could be left in the cage w/out the possibility of it leaking at some pint.
    So it's probably best to call them.
    I'm sure you know it's not constructed to be an 'aquarium'.

    I would think that it could hold that much almost indefinetly because some animals like a half aquatic tank
