1.5 gallon bowl stocking

[Fishguy133]

Hey guys this is my first post here .
I've got a fairly well planted (bit not filtered) 1.5g bowl and I was wondering if there's anything other than shrimp that can go in there?
Thanks for helping and have a good day/night

At that size, your stocking options are extremely limited. Maybe a small betta and your shrimp would be fine.

Thanks for replying .
Would a bumblebee goby or 2 be OK.in it? I'd obviously get the freshwater ones.
I only ask this because I got plants yesterday that actually had pesticide on them but I didn't know this (company didn't say) so I don't want to risk putting some shrimp in there.

I would just keep it shrimp, you are asking for problems otherwise....If you upgrade to a 5g, it would open up a lot of livestock options.

No can do I'm afraid. I guess I'll keep itvas just shrimp...I was hoping the bumblebee would be ok but if it means they'll be better off not living in my bowl then so be it

I wouldn't mess around with any plants that could of come in contact with pesticide

That's the problem...they have been in contact with it. Even though they were supposed to be shrimp safe! Not really sure what to do now....I guess PWCs for a few weeks to remove it?

If you have to use them(the plants), keep doing water changes and you should be able to remove the pesticide; over a period of a couple weeks.

Cool,by then I guess the bowl would have cycled.
Can you recommend any shrimp other than RCS and ghosties? I've had them before

 

[Wailua Boy]

The state I live in only allows RCS and natives, so that's my only experience.
