Even before I ever stopped being lazy and set up my first aquarium, I had always held some mild interest in keeping a fish (though it was my brother, not me, who had one as a child). One day probably 10 years ago, my neighbors had a garage sale, and my mom acquired this aquarium for me.
It's a 1.5 gallon hexagon, standing about 10 inches tall (excluding the light). It came with an undergravel filter, air pump, and a 15 watt incandescent light. Out of boredom and curiosity, I dug this out of the closet and set it up. To my surprise, everything still worked. I added some gravel donated by rad-man, a plastic cabomba, and some random plastic decoration that I thought would provide suitable cover for any future inhabitants.....
But that's where I'm stuck. I know that this is not an ideal living environment for anything, and I hestitate to confine anything in it. That said, these tanks exist for a reason (albeit probably for pure commercial profit by preying on parents of fish-happy children). I think they're marketed for bettas, but I don't know how much they like the flow from the UGF.
So, I ask of you all.... any ideas for what to throw into this 1.5 gallon, plastic, non-heated hexagon?

You should get a really nice fancy betta!!! Maybe a Crowntail or an OHM!!! That would be perfect for one! You could also stick a snail or two in there...maybe some Spixis, they don't grow big at all!! Man, that would look so cool with a really nice betta in it--like the ones you see from Thailand on Aquabid!
