Just Got A New Tank!

[chrisbassist]

okay, so maybe not as much a tank as a small container barely capable of putting a small filter in nevermind fish. It was advertised as a betta box.

I just measured it at 1.4 litres (or 0.4G)

now don't have a go saying a betta will never be happy in there. I got it as a mini aquascaping project. So I wasn't actually intending on putting any fish in.

But I was thinking, if i can modify a small filter to work more as an external, (something like one of the fluval minis) by modifying the casing and using the clear air pipes os inlet and outlet tubes (I'll figure it out later if it's worth doing) and a tiny heater... are there actually any fish I may be able to put in? Like something half an inch long that's not very fast...

otherwise, if i get it set-up as above, wouldit be suitable as a fry tank? or could I use it as an emergency hospital tank for slightly larger fish (guppys or similar)?

If not no worries, my orginal purpose for this still stands... Mini aquascape project,

hi, you could put some shrimp in there. and someone will have to confirm this, as i'm not 100%, but would a couple of scarlet badis be ok in there?

cheers

A couple of Heterandria formosa should work OK in something that small but I use a 10 gallon even for those at my house.
