Small tank ideas

[Perthegallon]

Hello so I have this small 3 gallon tank I was wondering if anyone had any ideas what to do with it I was thinking of making it a qt tank but it seems kinda small

You could try breeding phyto or copepods

Good call on the copepod farm, would be a good size setup for that.

Would you know any threads that I can look into to learn how to do that?

You could get a couple Barnacle blennies. They're really funny looking fish and stay really small

Raising Live Rotifers & Copepods

An article describes in depth how to raise rotifers and copepods (Tigriopus Californicus) as a live food source for your reef tank, especially mandarin gobys.

Her some info on the pods! You could add a light and some Chaeto to get a nice look.

Would be nice to use it to breed and raise baby clownfish if you have a mating pair of clowns around.

Hmm I don’t really have a lot of experience with that. I guess if you don’t buy them as a mated pair, it’s a bit of a gamble.

I have a pair but never saw any eggs. I didn’t buy them together. I do know that they are born genderless or male?? And the biggest one turns into the female, so I guess if you can tell the difference in size between your two clowns you might have a potential pair and keep your fingers crossed.

Do read a lot about it, because it requires a lot of specifics to do it successfully. Although I think it is priceless if you are able to pull that of.
