What animals can live with my betta?
I have a cycled,filtered 10 gallon freshwater betta tank with a male betta and 5 ghost shrimps and a bunch of silk plants.
The betta does not eat or bother the ghost shrimps, he just looks at them and swims away.
What other fish, or animal like ghost shrimps can live with my betta? and if its a fish can you please say names of fish that are not very messy?

What are some good, interesting freshwater fish for a 10g tank?
I’m a beginner, so I have little to no experience. I’m going to college soon, and the only pet we’re allowed is fish in a tank no bigger than 10g. Since I’ve grown up always caring for animals, it would be weird not to have that responsibility.
I was thinking about a dwarf puffer, but the only other fish they are compatible with would be an oto or ghost shrimp, and I’m not sure a 10g tank would provide enough algae for an oto or two. I’ve heard that you can have one dwarf puffer per 5g, but I wouldn’t want to risk that, so I’d only go with one. The problem is they’re so small, I feel like I would loose it in 10g.
I was also considering getting a few albino cories, but I couldn’t find much information on how many I could keep in just 10g, since they like to school. Not to mention they are bottom dwellers, I’d like to have a few middle-top fish.
I’m looking for fish that are fun to watch, require some care but are still hardy. I was also thinking I wanted real plants. Any suggestions on that as far as care, type, how it affects fish, etc are very appreciated.
Thanks!

Weird pets for my aquarium???
I just bought a 2.5 gallon tank and was wondering what are some creative types of creatures to place in it…anything but fish. Could anyone tell me of weird cool animals to place in the tank like freshwater crab species, or snails, or frogs, shrimps maybe, anything along those lines that is an unusual pet. Please help.
