anyone have some creative suggestions for things to do with a 10gal aquarium?
for a while now, i’ve kept an axolotl in my 10gal at work as the office pet. he was very unique, and started a lot of conversations with visitors…but he died last week (yes, cause diagnosed, aquarium thoroughly disinfected).
now i need new ideas as to what i can keep in the office; while the axolotl was so neat, i don’t want to just “replace” him. your whole vision will have to be in that 10gal (bigger tank won’t fit), and can’t be something that requires *daily* attention (i’m not in on the weekends). ideally, we’re talking about something more “cool” than just plain ol goldfish, and hey, if you have clever non-animal terrarium ideas for a 10gal, throw those in too.
things that are right out:
poison dart frogs – no place to keep fruit fly cultures in the office
saltwater fish – require too much monitoring
other than that, get creative, share your wisdom!
You could fill it with candy and prizes!
Or if you really want pets, I would go with low-maintenance fish and some cool decorations. I have some black tetras that are fun to watch and don’t seem too picky. I have a bamboo shrimp with them and he helps keep the aquarium clean.
