I had this as a journal but my intentions with the tank changed. I like the thoughts of a dedicated biotope, but I feel some constrained by it. So, I scrapped the idea of competition and just went for a fun tank. I went to PetsMart today and got all of their livebearer babies for free along with the C. Lutea and java ferns. The rest of the plants came from Goey Pond, a local reservoir. The lighting is really yellow unfortunately, due to the compact fluorescents Im using at the moment.
