When I first decided I wanted fish, my cousin gave me her old betta tank.
I’ve never used it for anything.
What should I do with it?
Keep it for a hospital tank for emergencies?
Not a clue what else I could use it for. I was gonna use it to breed copepods but it’s bigger than I remembered so I figure maybe something bigger could go in it.
Thoughts? Ideas?
Put it next to a gallon of milk for size comparison. It is 2.5 gallons. I have a lid, filter compartment, light, and heater.

There's a lot of cool "jar" tanks people have made. Flow in a triangle tank may be tricky unless you go bare bottom but you can do a small Zoa tank or something?

Get a Clown Goby for it?

I fear 2.5 gallons is too small for any fish

I’ve never kept corals, not sure this is the time to start. Dunno tho maybe a coral tank is perfect to start

Easy Zoas would be good.
