Hello,

I am reconsidering what kind of tank I can "get away with" in my cubilcle.

I have jumped on board my local club's group buy and have an ADA 30-C on the way, but it's going to be too large for the cubicle, mainly because it would attract too much attention.

I am thinking of getting a very small (like perhaps 1 gal. or less) bowl, mainly for plants, but would like to have a fish or maybe shrimp in there.

Preferably, I would like to transfer my problematic dwarf puffer over there, but one concern I have (esp. if I end up with a small bowl-shaped container) is that I am really trying to avoid having any filtration or heater in there, which def. limits my selection of livestock.

So,

a) how hard is it to keep shrimp in general, and in such a small space?

and

b) what kind of fish might be OK in such a small volume? Just a beta?

If anyone knows about the dwarf puffer please let me know - s/he is eating my guppies' tails!
