What Are Some Alternative Uses For An Aquarium Besides Housing Fish?
We've decided not to have any more fish as pets but we still want to get use out of our great aquarium. Any ideas of other aquarium-appropriate pets, or even non-pet ideas?
You could house hurmit crabs or other animals. or you could decorate it as if fish really did live in it and just use it for decoration. You could put plants in it. You could grow veggies and things by turning it in to a green house. You could use it to throw junk in like a huge pocket bucket. You could some how decorate the inside with things and use it as a decoration tank. Example. You could put rocks on the bottome then candles in the tank with some fack flowers. You could put it upside down and use it as a display case. You could turn it in to a 3D pickture.
Rats, mice, hamsters.
Lizards
Snakes
Stick insects
Emperor scorpions
Turtles
Newts or Salamanders
Frogs
Grow plants that need a lot of humidity, the aquarium keeps the humidity in.
Or maybe a giant millipede or some Madagascar hissing cockroaches.
Put some figurines inside.
Snakes,turtles,lizards,frogs and hermit crabs would all be great. Depending on the size of your tank.
And if you really want to be creative you could buy a scorpion =]
Depends on the size of the tank. I have a turtle that is pretty cool.
You could get a lizard or other reptile if you can afford everything they need.
a california kingsnake,
there smaller snakes and dont grow as big as normal snakes,
there pretty cool animals.
A terrerium with tree frogs and other amphibians.
Snakes, gerbils, and lizards are all acceptable but just not in my house.
lizards, rodents, plants?
