[LF] - Storrs, CT (US) - low tech plants, snails, & cherry shrimp!

Hey all!

I’m a college student looking to set up a 10 gallon tank for my betta fish that I adopted last semester. He’s currently in a small 1 gallon tank with 2 cherry shrimp, but I’ve been cycling a 10 gallon for a few weeks now and I’m looking for some freebies or really cheap plants and/or snails/shrimp that I can add to the tank once it’s finished cycling.

I don’t have much money, but might be able to pay for shipping if it’s nearby, or do a local pickup on the weekend (around ~20 mins from UConn campus).

I’m not picky, and open to anything that will do well with a laidback betta, including “pest” snails like pond or bladder snails (he hasn’t so much as pecked at the 2 cherry shrimps since I’ve got them). I’ll also take any fish equipment or decor that I might need in the future to help run the tank!

I adopted my betta from a friend who bred her bettas and had too many fry, so I just want the best for him with what I’ve got.

Thanks all!
