How about a dolphin. It has an airhole
Obsession is a matter of opinion
Then can you suggest some stocking ideas or a 10 gallon
- thanks in advance
Het guys do guys know anything u can keep in a 10 gallon or 50 gallon tank without cycling doesn't have to be a fish can be a land animal ?
Yeah, but the question was what was a good fish to keep without cycling it. The answer is that there are no good fish to cycle a tank with unless you plan on them dying. Even if they don't die, their health will be compromised. You would need daily 50% water changes and hardy fish like some zebra danios. Basically you would get fish that you really don't want in the long run

I disagree. Fish in cycle is recommended for newbies because pet stores are trying to sell fish to kids that don't have to patience to wait a month for the tank to cycle while it is empty. People that have "been doing this awhile" don't need to wait a month because they will use seeded media from a different tank. Of course plants speed up the process, but new people don't know enough about fish, let alone plants, lighting, ferts and substrates. It is good that you rarely lose fish, but it's sad to know the ones you have left have been subjected to toxins and are in poor health because it was boring to watch an empty aquarium.

Ah, my apologies - I was referring to post 1 which I believe refers to 'anything' and/or 'land animal'.
Land animals in a 10g ?
Hermit Crabs, till they get bigger.
Firebelly Toads
Tree Frogs
Leopard Gecko (20Long is better)
Baby Pacman Frog
Tarantula
Hissing Cockroaches
Etc...

Well I'm in California, so we have Reptile stores and breeders.
But yes, even Petsmart/Petco sell most of these.
There are also Reptile Clubs and years ago I started a Tarantula club.
We also have reptile "shows" that are big sales.
I live near The East Bay Vivarium as well. It was the largest reptile store in the country at one point.
But don't buy anything until you thoroughly research the animal's needs and long term care.

Tina, you rock !!! ??
I'm not familiar enough to have stepped into owning a tarantula yet due to lack of research on my side, but one thing I've always had some interest in. Besides thinking they're really cool, I do know they are all venomous. And anything I have read states the results of the bites are not well known other than it can be discomforting for a few days. I don't know of any clubs in my area either but again, lack of research thus far. Any reputable links you would offer for research on ownership/caring for ?
