What can you put in a 0.5g bowl?

[quasar]

So here is the story. I have a 0.5g fishbowl that I was keeping a single leech in as a pet. The leech somehow squeezed through the neting and got out. Now I'm trying to find out if there is something else that I could keep in there?

Fish is most likely out of the question unless there is a species that can live with no heating/filtration (ppl say Betta fish but Im finding mixed info on that).


Any suggestions? (Doesn't have to be a fish, just don't want am escape artist lol)

Half gallon is pretty hard please don't subject a betta to that. If you pack it with plants some shrimp could be kept in it.

Too small for most aquatic animals, for size reasons and also because it's difficult to maintain proper water conditions in such a small system.

If you fix the screen lid though, it'd be a cool enclosure for a fishing spider or some other little type of invert like that.

was it a blood sucking leech lol

Not sure, a guy gave it to me and said he was feeding it worms lol


Would 2 moss balls n like 2-3 cherry shrimp work?

That's pretty cool the leach idea lol. I'd say no to shrimp too, since they're sensitive to fluctuations or even the smallest of ammonia.

Absolutely nothing aquatic.

You can grow small water lotus species in it. It would be something nice to look at with very little maintenance required.
