Research which species of millipede you are considering, not all do great in captivity, and not all will breed easily if you wanted to keep them going over time! Like hermits, many are wild caught because they look cool. I tried several myself before fully understanding and it ended in heartbreak. Loved my bumblebee millis! Isopods got in their enclosure and wiped out all the babies and I lost them.

I was going to say hognose snake (male westerns can live in a ten gallon), but snails sound super cool to.

i used to have so many and they got so big because i had them forever but i already have one fish tank and i don’t think i want more fish lol
but will definitely reconsider when the fish tank is empty again considering my snails should live for a year and the betta lives a couple years
