ok so awhile ago i bought this 0.7 gallon tank originally to put my sea monkeys in but i have changed my mind and really like the tank they came with, it's just very nostalgic and i like the vibes. But now im struggling with what to do with it. Any suggestions on what tiny little creatures to put in here? (humane ones only) ❤️❤️

Nothing lmao, maybe shrimp at best.
Remember just because you can live in a car doesn’t mean its comfortable.
You could use it as a terrarium for isopods or tiny land snail! It’s gonna look so nice filled with moss n’ stuff.
Betta would thrive in this
For a 0.7-gallon tank, you’re super limited since it’s really small for most critters. I’d recommend some tiny freshwater snails like bladder snails or ramshorn snails—they’re low-maintenance and can handle smaller spaces. Marimo moss balls are another cool option; they’re not animals, but they’ll add some life and vibe without needing much care. If you’re really set on creatures, consider making it a plant-only tank with maybe a single snail for a simple, stress-free setup!

Apparently they can live up to 20 years in captivity
I know alot of people have different opinions but I would love to use that for some bladder snails 😅
bladdersnails, triops,duphne.. nothing bigger..
make a little scape with some anubias and put some bladdersnails into it.. IMO 0.7 isnt even big enough for nanoshrimp
When in doubt, skrimp
Opae ula shrimps or plants and snails.
Gambusia, would be fine, or maybe H. formosa( least killie fish) then you have the boraras family, chillies etc. Kubatae would work, things are diabolically tough🤣. I go nuts on the picó setups 🤣🤣🤣. Me and ecology buddies are always concocting something 🤣. Plants are a must, and as long as you observe the critical limit rule, (which is basic biology, you already kno that tho), it will be ok. ( might not be what you envisioned,) but love will find a way. Life always does. Im Exited to see what you do!!??? Please don’t let the 🥜 gallery chicken you out and discourage you from exploring the “boundaries” of the most practical and amazing hobby on earth. 🫡💪🏽💪🏽
Like 3 cherry shrimps max

I would use it to breed scuds to feed my other fish. A little bit of anubias nana petite on a small piece of driftwood with like… 1/4 inch of planted substrate and a few RRF, just make sure to take out RRFs enough that some tank is exposed for gas exchange
About 0.7 gallons of H2O molecules is the best you can fit… lol jk
Seed shrimps
Marimo balls!
