Colony of kilies, 3 tiger barbs, 3 black skirt tetras, 2 tetras, 1 pleco, 2 cory dory, 2-3 snails, 1 bog wood, plant verity, couple of rocks, HOB, heater, hood, light and stand. The light is a daylight compact florescent (energy saver type). With a better light the plants would probably grow crazy. I bought this tank on CL 2 years ago for 80$ and its been a great tank.
