3.5 Gallon Stocking Suggestions

[ncguppy830]

so im recycling things and i came across a chesepuff container and after filling it up with a 1 gallon container it was 3.5 gallons. i know options are limited for the tank size but im open to anything.

I'm sure you've seen this already, but for you to be able to find it more quickly: http/www.fishforums.net/index.php?/topic/418749-nano-fish/
Something to consider is that the cheesepuff containers are much taller than they are wide, so that may make it a little more difficult to stock.
Perhaps post the measurements of it here?

You could use it to grow live food for your fish e.g. Brine shrimp/ daphnia

I believe it was a joke, since it originally contained bright orange cheese puffs.
I agree it'd be fitting..

 

[ncguppy830]

well i wont do that now if you could reccomend animals instead of distastefull gravel choices IMO id be happy.

 

[HHH]

I think you might be able to keep most shrimps

 

[ncguppy830]

ok thanks for the reply,any types you reccomend.

yeah go with some ghost shrimps so you don't have to buy any as feeders. Save some money that way

Thank you for getting my dry humor

And I don't like dry gravel myself. I just spent all week getting rid of all that bright junk in my tank and switching over to natural stuff lol

I agree on the shrimp idea. Rcs and some moss.

What kind of filter/heater/light are you planning.

Perhaps some red clawed crabs instead of shrimp for something a bit different?
3 gallons is too small for most fish (even bettas IMO) so I'd stick to inverts.
