I think somebody else brought this up but could you get a kiddy pool that little kids play with in the back yard, fill it with water, get a fully submergable heater and put it at the bottom of the tank and run a filter in the tank and put fish in it and put it in your basement?

yeah you could do that as long as that no detergents are used to cleen it and you couldn't have tall fish

hmm maybe for a b-day present my parents would allow but decoratioins would be hard to do, maybe just an open tank. Fish ideas

fish_r_friend

you could put all guppies in there you seem to have a few

When fish are in a tub they are hard to observe from above. They tend to try to hide when approached from above but safe definately. lights?
I put tubs outside every summer and its really cool, the plants just go wild and the fish are much brighter colored. just some thoughts
