stocking options for a small desk tank

[kellylake01]

after learning alot from everyone on here i have decited to get another tank and im looking at getting a small desk size tank and setting it up the right way
gallon-size 2-5
plants-Java moss, 1 amazon sword (i love them)
lighting-l.e.d.
substrate-pool sand
stocking-about the only thing i know i want in it is assassin snails
ALL IDEAS WELCOME AND WELL APPRECIATED !!!!!!

i don't think amazon swords would fit in your tank, they get over a foot tall, maybe anubias? they have the same general shape but smaller

Shrimp would be good for that size tank. I like ghost shrimp, they are active and fairly cheap. REd Cherry Shrimp are nice as well, but I have trouble finding places that stock them.

at this poin anything i get for this tank im probably buying form the classifieds so no worries

honestly i figured a single sword would fill the tank .....compleatly but anubias grow just as well.

how about some water sprite? they do pretty well in low light and is a very bushy plant

If you go for a five you should get a betta!

depending on the betta, they would'nt really mix well with the shrimps

i was concerned with him eating snail antenna and/or eyes my guppies use to do it snails curled them under the shell after a couple of nips
