I see no reason why you shouldn't try to keep fish in them, but only if you care enough. If you don't have the time to take care of these about to be extincted pets, you are far better off with a few plants in your tank! Enjoy the show...

Comes with filter & everything, costs $50 or so and comes in several sizes. Or most pet stores will sell you a put-it-together-yourself alternative for even less. Note: bigger tanks are much easier to take care of than small ones. Get a Marineland Eclipse tank instead. Comes with filter & everything, costs $50 or so and comes in several sizes.

I got a small 1 gallon tank similar to that for $20 at Petsmart. It has a built-in under gravel filter. It's too small for pretty much anything but a Beta. With a few plants and a water stone for aeration, all I need to do is feed Royal (my male crowntail beta) and do a 1/2 water change every two weeks or so. I also have a snail in the tank for cleaning algae and looking cool. That is outrageous!
