I had some tropical ones with under water plants few years ago. I got lazy and now only keep a very simple one with any pump or any equipment. The fish bowl is in my toilet. :)

I will upload some pic later.

The setup of the first bowl was maintained for about 1 year. The bowl broke so I setup another one.

This picture was taken on 13-Feb-2006. It was after 2 weeks after initial setup?

There is no filter, pump, co2 whatsoever. I don't even bother to change water after a few months, just add water, turn on the light every night, and add food every few days.

The whole thing is sitting at the back of the guest toilet in my home. The system is still going strong today, although does not look too nice now. One of the fishs - a Golden Mustache, has survived 3 years and still very active.
