Last year was pretty exciting; found a dying goldfish in a bag that catapulted me suddenly into fish keeping, got married, and in Dec did an overnight rescue of 75G tank full of tropical fish and a massive invasion of Malaysian Trumpet Snails. Cleaned & repurposed the 75G for my goldfishes, found homes for the fish, saved some snails and put them in a jar along with sand, rescued bits of water wisteia, and marimos from my wedding.
The 3 snails I had have multiplied, and I've been daydreaming about a small invert tank for a long time... so I finally took the plunge to get a little 5G setup for them with some light and filtration:

Marineland ML90609 Portrait Aquarium Kit, 5-Gallon w/ Hidden Filter
...as I was reading through the technical information about the item on Amazon, I was delighted to see that it is a celery free Aquarium.?
It came today and I am busy setting it up to move the contents of my snail bowl into. They've never had a light or filtration, so hopefully they'll be okay with all of this. They've been pretty hardy in that little bowl for a year so this will probably be a nice upgrade. I'm also kind of excited that I can outfit this tank with some plants and Decor that would not be appropriate for my goldfish. They even ripped up even my marimo balls! If all goes well I may try some shrimp or other kinds of snails....
