empty 10 gallon

[mrhappy_708]

Sushi the betta seemed more social then i first thought and is doin great in the community tank, *SUPERSMIL . So now his 10 gallon is empty, and i need ideas for it, i was thinkin something different, like hermit crabs or 2 fire belly toads, but does anyone have any good preferable non-fish ideas for my new tank (they can be aquatic, semi-aquatic, or fully terrestrial, its all good)

Get a leopard gecko! *BOUNCINGS

Shrimp! That's what I would do... a tank with easy-to-grow plants and a bunch of little shrimp.

 

[punkrockfish]

fire belly toads sound like a good idea, my friend had some and really liked them.

i thought about leopard gecko, but i dont have enough money for a heatlamp and alot of extras. Right now i got a 10 gallon tank, some rock bedding, 50 bucks, and parents who hate snakes/spiders. Does that count out ur guys suggestions

 

[mrhappy_708]

they also wouldnt like anything that needs "live" food, but i might be able to let toads slid because they love the lil dwarf frog

What about a shrimp tank or an all-ADF tank?

 

[Sandtiger]

Try crawdads! I kept one of these guys before and it was really cool watching him lurk under his rock, waiting for food to fall from on high (shrimp pellets and thawed silversides). That's my favorite non-fish aquarium inhabatint, but they will eat small fish so make sure that if they're kept with tank-mates, be sure that they're bigger than the crawdad.

 

[phOOey]

dont crawdads get pretty big? to big for a 10g i think anyway. you could try fiddler crabs, they look pretty sweet.

Wow congratulations on moving your Betta to the community tank! Mine, is also in a community tank and loves it! No complaints yet - well done for giving your fish more room and some little buddies!
If i were you i'd make it a beautiful snail tank, with two or more dwraf frogs (they like to be in pairs and are more active! )... then you might even be able to slip in a fish or two as well... so you'll have allot going on. Perhaps, some small neons are something. That'd be a cool tank!

i wanted 1 or 2 african clawed frogs, and i thought i found them at petsmart under the clever name "african dwarf frog XL". But the workers assure me they will only get a cm or so bigger then regular adf

 

[Chazwick]

Clawed frogs are cute... but they need far more better water conditions, etc, than the common dwarf. And are FAR SMARTER (ie: more escapes! lol).
You need to makes sure the tank is sealed up, completely!

ACFs will get to 5" (12cm). Basic info here: http://allaboutfrogs.org/info/species/clawed.html

 

[mrhappy_708]

ya i know how big they get, i thought petsmart just labeled them like that cuz of the XL. Right now im considering 5 or so adfs, or 2 fire belly toads. (no place near me sells clawed frogs)
