whats a pet i can keep in an aquarium besides fish?

Question

because everything i buy to go into water keeps dying because its a weird shaped aquarium from japan and it had a wierd filter in it that i couldnt replace for less than 300 dollars so i didnt use one, so i decided to just give up on water and put some sand in the bottom and put a scorpion in it, but i'm not sure about a scorpion and i'm sure i dont want a tarantula, so what else could i put in my aquarium besides a lizard or snake or tarantula or scorpion and thats not aquatic

its a huge aquarium and its about 3 feet tall by 5 feet widebut the top inside has gass shelves on both sides to put food and stuff on and you have to ut the filter i the middle and let a pipe go down and the only kind i can find hook over the back and the shelves are in the way of the pipe to go down

Answer 1

Hermit crabs (do lots of research, they can be tricky to keep)
Leopard Geckos
Carnivorous plants
If it's big enough get a bearded dragon or a tortoise. They are really cool, but need space.
Hissing cockroaches
Mice, Rats, hamsters, gerbils make great pets if the tank is big enough.

Answer 2

Well, make sure you get rid of the scorpion, tarantula, etc. before you consider another pet. Depending on how big the aquarium is, you might try a gerbil, mouse, hamster, or guinea pig. You mention the aquarium is an odd shape -- there's no area that a small animal could get caught in, is there? Hopefully, it is safe and you would also be able to fit a wheel in the aquarium as well. It would also be good to get a screen top to the aquarium so you don't have to worry about your pet getting out - or anything else getting in!

Good luck. We had all of the above for our daughter as she was growing up, and all were great companions!

Answer 3

Hermit crabs, Carnivorous Plants, Madagasgar Hissing Cockroaches, Box Turtles, Leopard Geckos, Chinchilla-just to mention a few ideas.

Answer 4

evaluate a divider. they're about $10 at puppy shops. you ought to supply the Betta about a million/3 of the tank, and get more beneficial Mollies or platys. If the Molly is tremendous agressive, you in all likelihood gained't have any success preserving the different fish besides.

Answer 5

a hamster an ant farm why cant you get a diffrent fliter? bring pictures of the tank and possibly the old filter to a pet store they may be able to help you have you looked on e-bay for one?
