hello! so i had a strange question 
i have two of these little one gallon bowls lying around, i got them for free for my bettas (obviously way too small but i felt bad not accepting, lol) 
so i was wondering if there was anything cool to do with them, like plant-wise? if anyone had an idea of what i could put in here, because they're obviously too small for fish, but i hate having empty tanks lying around. i was either thinking of doing aquatic plants or just turning it into a terrarium, haha, thanks in advance for any advice!
also, many people on another forum suggested red cherry shrimp with some plants. my room stays at 75°, like, all of the time, so they said a heater isn't necessary. however, i've been getting mixed responses on if they need a filter. i don't even know if they make sponge filters for that size of a tank is the problem, and i also didn't really want to put a filter in the tank at all. this is not because i don't want to give proper care to the things in the bowl, but because i had wanted something simple that requires very little maintenance and costs. if this is the case, i will steer clear of the shrimp and whatever else requires a filter, so no need to worry about me giving improper care to them!
