I was looking for little hiding deco for my Bettas when I found this plastic case where a Fly trap plant once was. I've been wanting to try a tiny tank and now I have the chance. No idea how this will turn out, but there's always a first for everything. I will get new pictures when the bubbles vanish. Enjoy!

2x2x3.5 Inches.
0.23 Liters.
0.06 Gallons.
In basement bathroom window.
Tan sand, tiny root as tree skeleton, Wisteria, Dwarf Sag, Crypts & Subwassertang as tree leaves.

For size comparison, regular person wouldn't fit in this window unless the frame is removed too.

That's pretty well designed. Expect serious algae with it in the window like that. I'd add scuds.
 
There's bright light, but no direct sun, so hopefully it wont to too bad..The window is next to the porch, sunk in the ground, very tall trees, so not too much light.
 
I'm sorry, did I read that right 2 X 2 X 3.5 inches?

For a Betta?

Your tiny tank looks great, but please don't jam a fish in there. I bought one of those Betta "condo" things: 2 X 12 X 4. The poor thing hated it. He looked stuffed in there. He had 12" length wise to swim, and still looked folded over from trying to turn around. I took him out soon after and threw that thing in the garbage. The Betta went back into a 5g.

I agree with turtlesrock and knifegill, go with shrimp.
 
...I never said I would put fish in there. I might put a MTS in once I know the plants will make it. I keep my betta in more water than most do. Two in 5g, 4 in 55g, 4 in 90g.

If ya'll are referring to this-
"I was looking for little hiding deco for my Bettas..."
I was looking for decoration that I can place in their tanks for them to hide in. Like half a crematic cup or something like that. Not a tiny tank for them to live in.
 
Here is my second Pico tank. Built it from tiny 2in picture frame glass! It's a 2in cube.
Sorry about the bad lighting, too much glare and the flash just kept turning out wrong.
