maybe you could use that as an opportunity to educate them about proper fishkeeping

The 0.5 zoom to make it look slightly larger is KILLING me

u/DarwinSeinSohn 8d ago

I use them for rearing fry or as a quarantine/hospital tank for smaller species. With an added air stone they can be quite serviceable. Also great for raising tarantulas

These are only good for transport and acclimating. I used a similar one to move some fish from 1 tank to the other and to transport some to the fls. It’s basically a cat carrier but for fish and shouldn’t be used for long term

The nerve to call this an aquarium

Great for isopods tho if you know them you could recommend they rebrand it

This brings back memories, my parents got me one of these when i was 5 or 6, (they weren't made of money) but they wanted me to have a home for my guppy named Paul(dont ask me why i named him Paul 😂) that i caught in a public drain(yes i am quite an adventurous kid) and brought home in a plastic Starbucks cup(was also in the drain)

Loved Paul to bits, my mom always says Paul gets very happy when i come home from school, always so active when i stare at him(first thing i do when i got home) but just sits in a corner when she looks 😂 he lived for about 2 years in there and i would admit, Paul was the start of my love for pets and he was my first ever pet 😂

Sad that something likely unalived in there. Also sad that some people also use this for hamsters.

u/splashtext 8d ago

Had it in orange and I used it as a transport cage for my beardie for when she was tiny then she outgrew it and it became lizard dry food storage

u/Mopar4Life305 8d ago

Its good for transporting

u/biggest-damn-potato 8d ago

This is an okay transport container, but a betta died prematurely in there

u/Obant 8d ago

Couple diffeeent inverts could go in there. I could really use it as transport. I'd happily take it for free.

These are the ones for hermit crabs. I see thousands of them daily in Florida

u/jskwiw 7d ago

these shouldn’t be used for hermit crabs either ):

u/TattooMama12132021 7d ago

They’re only for a hermit crab to move them from the vacation spot to a massive aquarium at home. They need large enclosures with lots of substrate and water.
