I wanted to buy ocean play intex kiddie pool that is 38 cm deep and 183 cm in diameter .make gravity bucket filter from aquarium co op.and put atman at 105 .(i think gph isnt really needed in this situation).for stocking i will put inch layer of gravel(so theres is more bio filtration).now idea is planting java moss and marimo ball on net on bottom in middle of pond.growing anubias on left and java fern on right side of pond.and growing water hyatchin and lettuce.(this will be in greenhouse)and for fish stock to put apple snails,cherry shrimp,bristelnose pleco,goldfish and guppy,platy,molly to breed them and sell them to lfs or online.
 
If you put in snails, it will lower the value/saleability of the plants.
 
I will wash plants before i sell them and i will put only apple snails thar are selable

People want plants raised without snails because they are afraid of eggsor babies. I know they lay eggs out of water and I'm sure you'll wash the, well, but people are still scared of snails in their tanks.

Maybe i will use other type of shrimp or cpo crayfish and corydoras
 
Bristlenose plecos may eat your plants a bit as well. I am not sure if they only eat dead leaves, or if they will eat new ones. But I had observed mine munching on dying leaves in my planted tank. Ended up selling him off.
 
Why are you trying to make money so badly? If you really want a nice setup then stick to 1 species of fish. Don't try and gamble everything. Or try shrimp with plants, and fast growing ones. Anubias is incredibly slow growing and people don't pay much for it...
 
A lot of the fish you're considering are easy to breed and common. You would have to get a special/rare breed to make some money. I would go with what Hendre Hendre said. Some ideas for plants are stem plants, and low light plants to grow fast for money.
