other aquatic creatures?

[rubysoho]

there are fish, shrimp, ADF's, newts, crawfish.... anything else that is pretty cool to put in a species only aquarium? (i.e. the empty 10 gallon tank that completely decorated and ready to go, hehe)

 

[Hrafnkel]

Snails. >.> Billions of them. Or just two, which will result in billions of them.

Newts sound pretty cool, though. Or just an invert tank in general, maybe..? Red-claw crabs ae neat. And freshwater clams.

Fiddler crabs. As long as they have a place where they can get out of the water, fiddler crabs rock!

 

[happyhillbilly]

Tadpoles, you'd have to have an empty tank to put them into when they're frogs. Sorry for my stupidity, what does ADF stand for again?

 

[jrp1588]

african dward frog. They need to to make that one of the words like...LFS and LPS where it has a popup definition thingy.

I'd think a blue colbalt crab would be really cool. Can't have more than just one by itself.

Dwarf frog. Lol. Anyways all of those sound pretty cool, but you need equipment for them, like land for crabs and newts and filters for adf's.

 

[jrp1588]

You don't NEED land for crabs. All you need is some sort of decoration poking above the surface a bit. They can climb.

 

[Hrafnkel]

Yeah. Crabs are pretty cool little buggers. Never kept fiddlers, just red-claws.

 

[Devilishturtles]

What about Axotols? Pretty cool little things. They wouldn't fit in a 10 gallon, but perhaps something as large as a 20 gallon, or 30 gallon.

I know, but i've never tried it. Never tried the decoration thing at the surface.

THOSE ARE SO AWESOME >.<;;

 

[rubysoho]

those are pretty cool It gets a bit too warm here for them though. I can hardly get my tank's temp below 72 in the summer and from what I read, they get very stressed and sick when the temp goes over 68 for more than a couple of days.

Are the fiddler crabs saltwater? I'd prefer it to be something freshwater only because 10 gallons is a bit riskly when dealing with salinity.

Thanks everyone!

 

[jrp1588]

Fiddler crabs are more brackish, depending on the species, but i've kept a bunch in fresh water.

Axolotls do just fine at 70º-75ºF.

 

[feeder_guppy]

those axotols are so creepy, I would crap myself seeing it in my tank. lol. I have always wondered about those. Also, you could catch some water beetles, those have always amazed me.

somewhat boring, but i'm in love with my african dwarf frogs. i have 2 albino, 2 brown and one greyish spotted froggy in a 5g tank. good stuff.

you could also get 2 or so firebelly toads or newts/salamanders.
