Pet for a 10 gallon tank?

[lthom]

I have a spare 10 gallon tank and was wanting some ideas of what I should do with it. Is there any interesting pets that could live their whole life in a 10 gallon tank? Suggestions do not have to be fish.

hermit crabs, rats, or paradise fish (Ilove how they change colors)

or some guppies? or mollies? or platies? or swordtails? or... lots of choices.. depends on what u're preferences really are :dive2:

id try a hermit crab, but im not sure if 10 gals is enough...apparently they like to have buddies.... There are some REALLY interesting sites though about them... I have to admit I am tempted....

I would say a mouse or gerbil or something small like that. Maybe a toad of some sort. A tarantula or an emperor scorpion can also live in a 10g. I wouldnt go with a rat though because they are tall enough to reach the top and they are very smart and will get out. I had a rat in a 10g i had it taped shut and had bricks on top of it and she still got out and was lost in my house for 3 days until my mom found her under the bathroom sink lol.
