List of Non-Fish Aquarium Tank Mates

So you've got a bunch of lively fish swimming about...but you'd like a little more diversity in your tank. Do keep in mind that some of these tankmates require brackish water and or land areas. Here are some interesting tankmate options for you to consider:

1. African Dwarf or Clawed Frogs

2. Shrimp: Ghost, Cherry, Amano, Tiger, Penguin

3. Snails (eww, I personally wouldn't): Trumpet, Ramshorn, Mystery, Wandering, Bladder, Malaysian, Nerite, Apple

4. Mudskippers (fish that skip in and out of water?!)

5. Turtles: Red-Ear slider

6. Tadpoles

7. Crabs: Fiddler, Red-Claw, Caribbean,

8. Axolotls (Aquatic Salamander)

9. Newts (i.e. Fire Belly Newt)
