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 have a glass crab like that in my shrimp tank! I used to have a fish too, but he broke.

Moss was what I meant

You could do just plants - hone your aquarium gardening skills! Could do a shrimp tank - I love them; this is a cool one Redirect Notice

Oh. Well right now I am using it as a fry tank. I don't know what I will use it as next...

That's is awesome looking! But wouldn't I have to add co2?

Too small for a fry tank, use it to raise brine shrimp for your fry.

Not too sure - I think that if you want to keep stem plants you'll need to have CO2 in your tank, but you can use moss/anubias/ferns if you do not plan to inject CO2.

Just use plants that you can float and have a lot of leaves for them to hide in. Like Java moss, Hornwort, watersprite.

Where did you get the eggs from? I bought the San Fransisco Bay Brand and my intentions were to raise them big enough to feed them to my fish but I noticed a couple of days ago that on the back of the package it said not intended to adult size

 

[animalzrok2]

sorry i got them a while ago! i dont know where i just remember ordering them off ebay.

Im using it as a guppy fry tank right now. I only have two fry though. Lol

 

[GodFan]

I would plant it and stock it with shrimp, snails, and maybe some endler males. There is also a type of fish that stays about the size of a guppy fry. Cant remember what it is called sorry

I think you mean mosquito fish but I am not completely sure if they cam fit in a one gallon.

It will be my guppy quarantine tank... For now atleast

I have a 1.5G tank that I'm trying to figure something out in too.


1. I don't want to filter it, I've heard small small shrimp tanks like that don't need a filter. Just a 50% water change a week. Is this true?
2. What kind of shrimp? Ghost shrimp?
3. A small live plant / rock with them. Which plant would be best with them?

 

[Impolite]

OOOOOH! I know what you should do. It'd be PERFECT for a Marino ball :3

They dont seem interesting, but if the water is good and well, they'll apparently move! People in japan love them and keep them as pets.

 

[maxwellag]

I already have a marimo ball, but mine never moves that I can see.

 

[steez]

that's pretty neat haha
