I'm not allowed to have any fish or pets in my apartment but I caved in and got a 5 gallon (~1 cubic foot) fishtank anyways since its small enough to hide. Too small for saltwater; so I decided to go with a planted freshwater and stuff it full of shrimp and small fish. The tank is cheaper here, ~$70 with the hood, light, and filter but everything else like the dirt, plants, fish, food, etc is about the same as in the US. I probably dropped $200 in all but it was well worth it. Hopefully by the end of the year all the plants will be grown in and it will look like a jungle.
You may ask what that lead weight is doing? Its keeping that moss ball tied to the deadwood. I'm hoping the moss will spread and cover the twig and end up looking like an underwater tree. I had to use toothpicks to keep some plants from floating away as they have no roots yet. I just zone out and watch the tiny shrimp and fish do what they do.
