I recently got a 5 gallon tank from Marineland and am going to set it up in my office. The best place for it to fit is within 6 inches of a window so I already know there will probably be algae issues.
I have a 30 gallon freshwater aquarium at home that has been home to the same two fish for about 3 years as well as a 150 gallon outdoor pond with 5 two year old goldfish so im not a complete novice when it comes to setting up bio-filters and using plants to help out.
Ideally I would like to have 2 fish and either a snail or shrimp in the new aquarium but am not familiar with small aquarium setup. I also want to have at least one live plant.
(outside of betas) what would be the most compatible combination of fish and snails/shrimp and a live plant for an aquarium of this size?
