What can I do with these tanks

I made a couple of home made tanks that are 80L*15W*15H
I cut the glass and made about five and can make a few more.

Now I am stuck what can a do with that type of fish tank:blink1:.

Any Ideas at all:blink1:.

shellies! or bristlenoses with neons or guppies or other small tang chiclids.

 

I would also look at a breeding pair of cichlids for each tank and then ad a few smaller fish for some company.
Shellies are very cool little fish.

 

Before I make any suggestions, Oscar, are those measurements in centimeters or inches?

 

I would think they are in CM... but then again, 15cm W and 15cm H is a very odd shaped tank.

 

Cant be centimeters! It's 80L each.....

15"x15"

 

They are in CM

Yes very odd.
I have to admit.

 

15cm high - perfect for beta breeding I think ... or cultivating plants

 

OK betta Breeding.

What will I need and how to set it up

 

Nope TM. The 80L does not refer to Litres.. it refers to LENGTH (L X W X H) which is the common formula given when describing the size of a tank.

 

search the web for betta barracks ... I'd make two dividers per tank then use then to house males

 

They may be very shallow, thin tanks, but not useless! As some others have suggested, try breeding fish accustomed to smaller water bodies, like the Betta species.

 

Oops...

This is highly usable....

Mudskipper tank perhaps? Might be too shallow...Something brackish...like fiddler crabs or something of that sort

I would use 1 of the tanks for a cool moss tank though..:noworry:

 

I think keeping any type of crab is blacklisted?

 

Actually, the blacklist says that all freshwater inverterbrates are blacklisted. Fiddler crabs are technically brackish/marine species :blink1:

I wouldn't risk mudskippers or crabs in such a shallow setup though - both have amazing climbing abilities that are best left unwitnessed.

 

Ok, thanks Salmon. I'm not familiar with brackish of marine at all.

 

Freshwater crabs are those green ones...they can be found in any drain system ... I think...nothing special about them...

Try planting the tank with brackish tolerant plants and adding some brackish shrimp or cracker shrimp...

I'm not sure if its on the blacklist but it is legal to catch these if you have a cracker permit.

Keeping them as 'live bait' wont hurt..

 

Someday you could put some shrimp in them, they're about the right size.
But for now you could most likely house some nano fish like Microrasboras.
And they'll look great with some mosses, or plants that will grow out of the water!
