My employer reccomends I get a fish tank

[king2005]

Thanks for the advice! I don't know if I'll get a tank because I'm moving into the spare bedroom in her house instead of her apartment.

Have you thought of a Beta?
You can get a 5gal plastic tank with a little light, filter, heater, & rocks. Plastic plants can rip their fins & real plants can carry an infestation of snails, so make sure to wash the real plant well.

Not sure, but you might be able to put a Dwarf Frog or a Shrimp in with the Beta, but ask others first as I don't know if its a good mix or not. My 3 Betas live in a 90gal tank with many other fish & everyone gets along just fine.. but I have no shrimp or frogs in that tank
