Description:
I have a 5.5 gallon (21L) glass aquarium. It has a hood which currently has a 15W incandescent light. The tank measures 16in. wide x 8in. deep x 10in. high.
I have a 25W Visi-Therm stealth submersible heater. I use a Aqua-Clear 20 (formerly known as a mini) filter by Hagen which has adjustable flow levels.
I used 10lbs. of plain riverbed gravel which I got from PetsMart. I also tossed in some larger (but still small) stones.
Advice:
Do your research for everything before you buy anything. Don't assume that smaller=cheaper or easier.
Fish Kept:
I currently have 4 neon tetras (Paracheirodon innesi) and a black mystery snail (Pomacea bridgesii).
Corals/Plants:
Dwarf Anubias (Anubias nana) - live.
Fake Ludwigia and Hygrophilia plants.
Fake driftwood.
Tank Size:
5 gallons

Every passionate aquarist eventually faces a moment of crisis when a prized fish exhibits symptoms of illness, whether it is a stubborn case of Ich, frayed fins, or unexplained lethargy.
Few experiences in the aquarium hobby are as heart-stopping as looking into your tank during feeding time, counting fins, and realizing one of your favorite fish is missing, only to discover it squeezed into a perilous gap behind the filter or wedge-pinned behind a heavy resin castle.
For decades, freshwater aquarium salt has been hailed as a staple remedy in the fishkeeping community, often passed down from experienced hobbyists as a universal cure-all for sick, stressed, or newly acquired fish.
