I'm fairly experienced in freshwater tanks these days, but I took a break for a while and I just retired my very first fishtank. I just picked up a 10 gallon to stick in a corner with promise to myself that it would be cool enough to be very interesting, different, and unique. I'm still brainstorming scape, but I'm really getting excited daydreaming about stock. I've only had a couple micro tanks, and while 10 gallons isn't TINY tiny, I feel like I don't see enough interesting pieces that are 10 gallons. Little shrimp tanks can be gorgeous, and I love all my 40+ gallons, but I just never see anything in 10.
Anyways, I scrubbed it out and took the rim off. Scape suggestions welcome too.
I want something rare, something you don't see everyday. I'm thinking about cavefish, mussels, or maybe native small fishes I can find in a local creek bed, but likely not because there won't be amazing flow considering shape and size.
Thus far I've realized I'm having trouble expressing what I want, lol. I know asking for advice based on vibes is annoying. But if you have any ideas I'd love to hear!
