i would like some help on writing an article on decorative bottle tanks.
specifically on non filtered, planted, decorative, 1 gallon minimum aquaria.

experience?
substrate?
success?
species?
plants?
lighting?
feedings?
water changing?

i have seen several of these over the years and myself have several that are
lush w/ plants. ive used gallon pickle jars, 7 and 13 gallon glass bottles,
and a interesting 1 gallon chemistry flask.
species survival has been erratic tho w/ the most success using least
killies. during the last few months i have had success w/ flag fish and some golden
topminnow fry.
plenty of snails survive and sometimes grass shrimp.

im looking for info to compile for an article.
can any of you help?
