Need help! What could fit in here?

Post image

I’m looking for a starter pet (this would be my first time) that could live in a tank this large? I want to give it a good quality life. A BDFB is likely the easiest choice but I’d be grateful for other suggestions.

(Dimensions are 7.9 x 7.9 x 5.7 inches)

You could turn it bioactive and start an isopod colony

Way to small for isopods

What type of isopods need over a gallon? I keep swift woodlouse and common pill bugs, and they are more than comfortable in their gallon tanks

Edit: coming back to this comment, I realize some of this sounds sarcastic and that was not my intention. I was genuinely curious! I keep my isopods with my brown garden snails, and they're all getting upgraded to bigger tanks soon :)

Check in over at r/isopods the recommendation is 3-4” of soil and 1-2” of leaf litter with at least 10” of space horizontally for a proper moisture gradient
