    Default ideas for a 9 gallon tall tank

    recently upgraded to a 29 gallon so the small tank is collecting dust.
    I used it briefly as a quarantine tank but no longer getting new fish.

    besides a betta tank, any ideas?
    something new and interesting, doesn't have to be a fish.

    What about shrimp ?
    If you take your time to do the research FIRST, you can successfully set-up and keep ANY type of aquarium with ease.

    If I had an odd shaped tank like that, I think I'd try seahorses...

    Alternatively, you could turn it into a terrarium, sans reptiles...

    seahorses in a tall 9g? I'd say that takes a skilled aquarist to make it work.

    Yeah, shrimp's always an option. Possibly a pair of those african frogs.

    Maybe a few cardinals or neons or even some micro-rasbora and shrimp?

    Cardinals? Really Lady? If I read 9g tall I'm assuming something a foot wide or less even and in my opinion that's very little swimming room for cardinals.

    Micro rasbora and shrimp is of course a fine option
