Ideas for a 10 gallon?

[andyjs]

I've got this 55 Metaframe display setup that I'm working on that includes a 10 gallon on the lower shelf. I have a couple ideas of what to put in it if I do it as an aquarium, but I haven't gotten it to stop leaking yet, so I'm also considering doing a terrarium as a back up.

I've got mealworm and dubia colonies going, so I'd prefer something that can be fed from those, but it's not an absolute requirement. So far, I'm thinking a chubby/painted frog or a small gecko. Any other cool ideas?

Have you considered crocodile skinks? T

hey stay fairly small and can be kept in a 10 gallon; they look pretty cool, too. Another plus is that they prefer cooler temperatures (room temperature on the cool end and upper 70's/lower 80's for the basking area) and are primarily nocturnal, so you don't have to worry about buying any special lighting.

Tarantula ?

small lizards or a garter snake would be fine if you find a pet store that sells them or in your backyard even

I like chubby frogs, but crocodile skinks look pretty cool. Or you could go with small geckos.

A crocodile skink would be pretty cool. I did finally get the tank to stop leaking, so I may still go with fish. It will be at least a couple weeks before anything goes in it either way cause money is a little tight right now.

Those little guys look really cool.

If you got the aquarium to stop leaking, then you could do both crocodile skinks and fish; they do enjoy swimming after all and often live near streams in the wild.

Right now, I'm thinking some shell dwellers, but once I rehome my bigger turtles, their tank may become an African tank and free up this tank again. In that case, I will probably go with some croc skinks
