5 Gallon tank
I recently found one of those little 5 gallon kiddy tanks that I had from way back when and I was wondering what friend could be put in there
I'm thinking outside of the box (well, tank ) with this one. Anything that isn't a fish that could go in there? I didn't know if there were really small lizards or frogs that I could get to put this tank to good use.
As a side note, if I build something from cardboard or wood in it so that it makes it multi-level, could I house a mouse in there? Or would that still be too small even if I make it multi-level? I'm assuming it'd still be too small but hey, you guys are the experts, not me.

Re: 5 Gallon tank
Shrimp are awesome!! Nano-tank also.
What about some of the teeny dart frogs? I don't know if those need larger tanks?
Maybe a smaller tarantula? An ant farm!

Re: 5 Gallon tank
yeah a harlequin shrimp tank would be killer but there is the whole you have to feed them starfish deal. they won't thrive without them. there is a species of starfish that you can cut in half and both halves will become a new animal.

Re: 5 Gallon tank
i wouldnt recommend trying salt in this tank either- it's possible but'll be a PITA to keep pretty. some freshwater plants and colourful shrimp are probably your best choice as starters. you could add a couple of small fish too.
dart frogs wouldnt work in a tank that small, mayybe a small T but i dont know much about them.
