After about $100, a few trips to the local outdoor market that specializes in pets and some communication mishaps (over haggling prices), I present my tiny, weenie planted 5 gallon tank!
Fauna: planaria & pond snails
Flora: java fern, anubias, ludwigia, water sprite, pennyworth
I over did it a bit on the plants, hence the crowing ^^ The mini pots are actually what the plants came in. Natural light from the window behind the tank, both for the tank and the terrestrial plants. I'm not sure what's actually going to go in the tank. The tank's been running with plants for a week, so it needs some more time to settle.
Thinking lampeye killies, male endlers, or clown killies with some shrimp (provided they are not outrageously expensive!). Or a nice, vicious little pea puffer without the shrimp or other fish ^^
I really miss my tanks I left back home (80, 40 & 15s).
