Looking for small setup (really small)

[Bleeding]

Hey im looking for a small desktop aquarium to keep either a betta or mabye a couple of guppies in at my office.

I probably am looking for 5 gal or smaller, something that could have a filter on it as well. I am very uneducated about small filters, and really dont know what you would need on something this small to keep a good environment.

I would also like it to have some sort of decent lighting so i could grow a small carpet grass or something like that in it.

Anyone know of good places to find something like this? I looked around online for a while but only found those plain clear plastic ones, or those tiny bowls they sell at walmart...

I was at petsmart grabbing a few ghost shrimp and i saw a 2.5 for 9 bucks, this included the hood but no filter. a filter for something this small would have to be cheap or not even needed (not sure about the smaller ones, but i imagine water changes wouldn't be too hard).

I was looking into this too. I found the eclipse explorer II on marineland here:

It has a filter n everything for $29.00.

there's also a hex 5 gal. http://www.amazon.com/Marineland-Eclipse-Fully-Integrated-Aquarium/dp/B000260GEC

The marineland ones are nice. Here is a 3.7 from Catalina

I had this set up as my nano salt for 6 months, but i replaced the filter with an aquaclear HOB. Also its really hard to find a heater for such a small tank. I ended up with a crappy wallmart brand for a 5 gallon that didn't have a way to regulate the temp, it was just always on so i had to watch it pretty closely.

at petsmart. in the tank section, they have extremely small tanks, i suspect that they may be around 2.5 gallons. i think someof them might have some sort of a hood. you could always make a sponge filter. or you can get one of those tank kits they have at wal-mart for 10 to 20 bucks, they come with everything except fish water and plants
