Suggestions for a spare 15 gallon tank

[tommyk]

Hi everyone.

I recently upgraded my 15 gal to a 43 gallon tank. Everything running smoothly so far. This leaves me with a spare 15 gallon tank. I hate to leave it there gathering dust, just wondering if anybody had any suggestions of how I could put it to use and maybe try something a bit different with it.
T have a sponge filter and 50 watt heater too..

Any suggestions ??

The best fish money can buy

Tetraodon Biocellatus, the figure 8 puffer.

Perfect size tank for just one fish.
Ideal if you have other tanks, even better if they have some snails in. Free puffer food!

If you want reptiles you have some options
1 leopard gecko
Panther geckos
Anoles
Long tail lizards
Fire belly toad
Tarantula
Newt
PAC man frog
GA millipede
African clawed frogs
Lots of options

Oh god. I couldn't do a trantula or millipede.
I think I would be living alone or kicked out on the street.
I'm thinking of turning it into a riparium, with the water from the main tank flowing through for added filtration.

Any opinions???

You mean a vivarium?

I recently started a 10 gallon tank with Scarlet Gem Badis. They are really lovely little fish with a lot of personality, but they are a little trickier to care for since they are picky eaters.
