ok ive gone through all the crevices in my head trying to think of a cool sumthin to do with my 10 gallon, (some of you may be familiar with the Dark Tank thread, and the one about a marine california native tank) and have had to scrap the ideas ive come up with not beceause of financial issues but im not a world traveller and the law is not on my side :cry: . sooooooooooooo, what would u do thats neat and creative with a 10 gallon tank........... open to all ideas cuz im out of um...........
 
Use it for fighting bettas, JK. I have no idea other than doing a small planted tank. 10gl are small and so hard to come up with things to do with them.
 
paradise fish .....possibly a pair...........they dont need heat or filter.......bigger (a little bit) & better brother of the infamous betta........
 
Here's a different idea. I've done this before (mostly around halloween). I painted the tank sides black, used black gravel as a substrate, and obsidian (black lava glass) for rock work. I covered the entire back with wax paper. Below the gravel line, outside and in back of the tank, I placed a 15 watt lamp. I had a regular tank light on top.
The fish I kept were glass cats and indian glass fish/perch. With the top light on it looks like a regular tank of fish. With the top light off and the 15 watt light on all you see are living skeletons swimming around the tank.

flip it sideways, get an amazon tree boa (snake) ($20-400 depending on color phase), get some good clips and a screen lid and a perch or branch....................talk about an animal that is always pissed off............... I love my orange patterless phase ATB. Give herps a chance!!!!:D
 
Or a very slightly brackish tank containing one purple spaghetti eel and a pair of banded killies?
