can anything fit in a 2.5 gallon glass aquarium?
Originally bought for beta and shrimp but moved to a 10 gallon sense the betta made me sad seeing him in a small tank. But now is sitting empty till i figure something to do with it.

Sure. Depends on dimensions and all, but it would sure be a sweet shrimp tank.

Depending on the person, dimensions and filtration, someone might recommend ONE dwarf puffer.

It would be a cool neocardinia tank with least killifish (7th smallest fish in the world, see my 18" signature)

And you could always just focus on plants or snails.

Thanks!

I have tried shrimp before but not much success any suggestions on plants? i have a mirimo ball, wisteria, some dwarf hair grass (like maybe a square inch) in there now but not sure what will be best
Filter is an air driven cheap one rated for up to 5 gallons
I would love to get a dwarf puffer but no idea how it would work out

Yeah I love low light.

Currently, I'm biased. I love mosses. I love them and I love how they look.

Pretty much any moss other than java and Taiwan moss, and I've been trying it.

Mosses do not need much light, therefore they're perfect for low light setups.

Also my tanks are all small, but they have dynamic scapes. So it is hard to get stem plants in them. But the mosses look great.

I'd recommend mini or well manicured full size mosses.

There are lots of mini mosses, the seller here I would recommend is H4N.
