Pico Tank Ideas

Ok, so I bought this 2.2 Gal wall tank on a whim because it looked totally cool. Well I have not been very successful at keeping anything alive. So in doing research on possibilities for this tank looking at everything from fish to reptiles, I ran across an actual name for it - Pico. So here I am. I would like to start a planted pico tank with this tank. Or even a reptile tank but can't seem to find a suitable reptile for such a small tank. Anyone have any suggestions? What types of "life" and how many can be safe in this 2.2 Gal tank?
Thank you for your time. (pic attached)

 

this site should give you some ideas 2009 AGA Aquascaping Contest

note your tank is 9L (liters) for comparison against the tanks listed.

 

Thank you very much, I will check it out.

 

well, I never owned a hamster before, but Hamster came into my mind, might work for 2.2gallon?
I know goldfish you can, you could even probably do leopard geckos, also I have seen some Reef tank that was 2.2gallon, but that will be really hard to maintain due to extreme water climate / condition change, but If you really keep your eye on your water paramesters and temperatures Im sure you can do a reef tank with a good lighting of course.

 

stay away from the goldfish its basically a death sentence when you keep them in such a small volume of water.

 

Yeah I figured out the goldfish "issue" already. ;-)

 

you could do betta fish! but they arent too.. fun in my opinion

 

Yeah from that site sostoudt linked me to, it looks like people are using a lot of shrimp and the like. Seems like they are cleaner and you can have more of them than with most fish.

What concerns me is the Co2 - sounds complicated.

 

the Co2 isn't that bad but it can be expensive if you get a pressurized container, but most people with a tank your size would probably just use DIY co2, from a 2 liter bottle of yeast and sugar water.


I would say be careful to much co2 will kill your animals.

 

So Co2 is a must then? What is your advice on bubbler's and a filter for this size tank?
