    How cute! It's amazing what you can put together when you look around. For one mini pond I created, I did buy a container, it's a resin planter with no holes and looks like a whiskey barrel... was only $14 on Amazon, but everything else for the pond was stuff I already had. The planter is between 5 and 6 gallons, give or take... and has a surprisingly small footprint.... :)

    This is so adorable and beautiful. Love it💞. Something small like this would make such a unique gift for someone too. I was reading through the comments and saw a suggestion of even putting in a couple of cpd’s. My suggestion is I wouldn’t. They do best in larger groups. I’d be worried they’d be really shy and stressed out which can lead to illness. I have 15 in a 15g planted aquarium and absolutely love watching them interact.

      Hi Cheryl! Thank you so much! Oh, yes, I agree on the galaxy rasboras - I currently have mine in a small group in a 12g. I think they were just saying they would look like little trout. 😂 They would need more space then a 1.25g, mine get the zoomies. I appreciate the concern though, very nice of you to take the time. ☺️

    Obviously a trick of the light but between 3.06 and 3.22 it looks like there is a fish trapped under the glass bowl!

      That would only be funny at Halloween 😬
      Or April fools day 😉

      Yahooo!! So very glad!! And you got your shirt?! I’d like to thank you again for that - it makes me so happy. Closest thing I have to my dream of owning a shoppe. ☺️

    I love this! I wish I could do it. My cats would destroy it and eat the fish.

    Not sure about the curly fig, or if the entire family of Ficus is toxic to fish; I don’t think so, since creeping fig is frequently used with vivariums, paludariums, dart frogs & other amphibians, and they’re pretty sensitive to things-but in general, Syngoniums (aka arrowhead plant) are likely fine because they’re arums-the same family (Araceae) as Anubias, Bucephalandra, & Cryptocoryne, so I’m sure it’s fish-safe.
    Araceae also contains many other plant genera that are frequently used in vivariums & paludariums…stuff like Aglaonema, Anthurium, Dieffenbachia, Monstera, Philodendron, Pothos, Spathiphyllum (peace lily), etc. to name a few. I’ve often hung pothos cuttings in my aquariums for the extra water ‘cleansing’ the roots provide, and the small schooling fish sometimes hide amongst the roots. Bettas and other labyrinth fishes like it too. I also prune the roots short once a month, so they don’t get too messy, and nothing happens as far as chemicals or enzymes being released into the water column. In fact, I heard if you take a cutting of a houseplant and root it in a cup of water, but you want it to root quicker, put a cutting of pothos or philodendron in with it, and it does something! Aroid plants have some sort of enzyme that triggers growth in their neighbors. So any aquarium with Anubias, Crypts, Buce or any other Araceae member will likely see good plant growth ;-)
