Quick Rubbermaid Size Question

Im picking up another three corn hatchlings in a few days and I am goin to build a rack considering this will bring my collection to 9. My question is what size rubbermaid/sterlite containers should i use for the hatchlings? I would like a size that they will be comfortable in for about a year. What would you suggest? Also what is the best way to secure the lids whether it be bungee cords or anything you can suggest. Thanks for the replies!
 
For hatchlings, I use 6 quart Sterilites. Usually purchased at the dollar store, for less than a dollar...go figure?

I use lids on the 6 quarts but built my rack for the tub with lid to fit fairly snuggly in the racks. With larger tubs, I don't use the lids at all.

Depending on how fast the hatchling grows, will determine how long there are able to stay in the small box.
 
I use 6qt for hatchlings, 15qt for yearling and 31qt for adults.

With my racks, I don't use lids for any of them (both those I bought, and those I built).
