I started with just native plants (I'm in Louisiana) but ended up with some least killifish on one of my last runs. I'm keeping them in a gallon tank and they've been doing great. The tank was well established before I put them in though, so they have a wide range of food from zooplankton to...

I found Heterandria formosa (least killifish) in my looking around about mosquito fish. Might be what I have here with the spots on the fins.

Oh...At the moment there's bug of some sort that died in there that everything's been nibbling away at. Mostly the fish prefer the live food and algae.

@KonvictKeeper - Thanks for the link. I kept looking for minnows and coming up blank. They're fun little fish that have been easy for me to keep after. I tried to get a pic of the shrimp but it doesn't show up on camera. Once in a while I throw in some flake food, same as I was doing for the...

Unfortunately no pics yet. Might give it a try this weekend. They're about an inch long, transparent bodies, silver bellies, black stripe, black spots on the dorsal and pectoral (?) fins. My gut reaction was to drive the 2 hours to put them back. Then I figured I'd see what happened...

Also, none of these have any sort of powered filtration or airation or special lighting. I move them around the house to control plant and algae growth.

I need to start by saying that I never intended for this to become a hobby. I used to keep orchids and between a move to a climate that requires air conditioning, therefore a greenhouse and a cat...well...all the orchids died. I had bad luck with regular house plants but needed something green...
