what to do with an empty one gallon?

[maxwellag]

As of today I have an empty tank, and I am curious what you guys think I should do with it...

That's a tough one ... keep a plant in it ... about all it's good for in terms of stock. Maybe a shrimp or snail?

 

[Deckape]

It will be a good change holder.

I agree with the above. It's just too small to do anything with. Maybe a ceramic goldfish? Saw that in a decorating magazine and it looked great!

Or raise brine shrimps, it's really not that hard.

You could use it to grow misss and transfer them to a bigger tank later.

What are misss?

I think my best option is to make it a shrimp tank or hatch brine shrimp in it. But right now its being used as a guppy fry tank. There are only two fry in there though.

How about a planted shrimp bowl you could even do without the shrimp, its fairly easy get a small amount of substrate, moss, and a stem plant and grow it and maintain it by putting it next to a window if you want an example look up Newman's Shrimp Bowl it looks really nice with my 1 gallon I will occasionally rescue a fry or two and try to raise them.

Shrimp and plants. Its fine for the fry as long as they are tiny, not too numerous, and they need a heater to grow well.

I could do something similar, but the problem is mine is shape like a triangle, not a sphere.

I will look for a mini heater next time I am at the store.

You can get fish! Some of these guys:

I had a two gallon bowl with these and a bunch of pretty rocks when I was at my parents. They sell them at Kirklands<3

I would use it as a quarantine or fry tank.

Lol! Those look fun! Haha I might use those as decorations for the shelf above the one gallon tank, or christmas ornaments...

Lol I got one of those in Hawaii.

But I thought a qt tank was supposed to be way bigger (like 10 gallons)... but the biggest fish I will ever get is probably a pair of rams for my (hopefully my mom let's me get it) possibly future 20 long... I don't think it is big enough for rams. But I think I might as well use it as a qt tank for the fish that are in my ten gallon, and maybe some smaller tank mates in the twenty long. If I had shrimp in there could I move them out whenever I needed the tank as quarantine? That way it wouldn't look so empty and boring when not in use...

My parents went there without me... twice... :/ I wish I could go sometime... lol I know this is random

Aww, maybe they'll take you next time! Lots of nice fish and turtles underwater!
