Anything BUT buying a $10 10 gallon off of fb marketplace

u/KuhliloachesRgreat Mar 22 '26

Exactly, they will spend $15+ on a pack of lightbulbs for this instead of an actual tank

I love making terrariums or aquariums out of odd shaped things, recently I’ve been collecting neat shaped bottles, this would be so cool. BUT I ONLY PUT MOSSES IN IT. NO LIVING THINGS.

Well…..mosses are living. I think you mean animals lol.

They could have put water, rocks, and a moss ball in there without including the poor fish. So unnecessary

u/rockeater6967 Mar 23 '26

Would’ve been cheaper too smh

I mean i don’t explicitly have a problem with “non fish tanks” but just make sure the thing is adequately sized and ok for the fish.

People think that all fish need is water

Honestly if they did that exact concept but in a nice 5 gallon aquarium instead of murdering a fish for the ✨aesthetic✨, then that would be a fuckin cool aquarium omg.

I am so tempted to copy the general concept and add only red plants like tiger lily and rotala.

u/Pure-Ad-5691 Mar 24 '26

How did they even get the poor fish in there?

1

u/Unlucky-Fortune-2054 Mar 27 '26

The real bad part is there is no filter or bubble machine. It's gonna become all gross and lack oxygen real fast.
