Empty 5g
I have a empty 5g Bio Wheel tank. I was wondering what I could put in it besides you know Betta, Ghost Shrimp and Dwarf Frogs.
PS. No Heater included Since the tank does not support one.
1 Carrot Tail Lepard gecko
1 cockatiel Bird (Families)
65 Gallon tank
Eco Pro Canister 80
Marineland 250W heater
Marine Thurmometer
sand
fake plants
5 Yellow Labs 2 Red Zebras 1 Blue Chiclid 1 Frontosa 1 VC10 2 African Synodontis Catfish 4 Mystery Snails

I have a small heater in my 5.5 gallon, why can't you put a little 25 watter in there? Without a heater you are exceedingly limited in your choices. Maybe some white clouds?
8 tanks running now:
1x 220 gallon, 2x55 gallon, 1x40 gallon long, 1x29 gallon, 1x20 gallon long, 1x5.5 gallon, 1x2 gallon
Gouramis, barbs, rasboras, plecos, corys, tetras, fancy guppies, swordtails, ottos, rainbow shark, upside-down catfish, snails, and Max and Sparkles the bettas.

True, good point. They are pretty zippy. I guess they were the first small coldwater-adaptable fish that came to mind.
Rue is right, don't listen to me. Other than the fact that I guarantee you can fit a 25 watt heater into a 5 gallon tank!8 tanks running now:

if you can get a heater (even a 50W set to low) you can get a few guppies, or make it a microreef

Planted tank, with shrimp.

I would say goldfish or get yourself a heater. I saw some sweet stuff at walmart the other day. They had submersible 2-5 gallon heaters for like $6.00.
I think that's pretty cool. I would suggest finding the smallest heater you can find and use that. Then maybe you can put some real small fish like micro-rasboras or a few mollies or some type of non-schooling fish in there. 2-3 mollies with frequent water changes would work out good and actually look kind of cool I think.
