I haven't had fish in many years, but I recently decided to get a small setup for my desk at work. I'm leaning toward something like a 5 gallon tank with a couple of fish. Since I have a very limited amount of room, it really can't be much bigger than that.
I also have very limited space to plug anything in, so I would like to find some hearty fish that do well without a heater. I'll likely just get a top for the 5 gallon tank and put a light over it. Can you recommend a few fish that would do well in this kind of setup?
I'm thinking of something like a Beta, some Ghost Shrimp, and maybe a Clown Loach or something like that. (Not sure if the loach would do well or not in "cold" water.) I just want some fish with nice color, and something that is active.
Thanks for any input you can offer on both the fish and the setup!
