My approach is to try to make the interior of a fish tank as close as I can to what would be found in nature. What that means is I make a landscape/aquascape including maybe rocks or waterlogged wood and different levels of substrate for different species of plant to grow in. I also include cover glass (cuts down evaporation). Since there are plants in most of my set ups lights are also necessary. Other necessary items for the essential running of the aquarium include a filter, heater/thermostat and a thermometer. Sometimes I may add a fine bubble stone or two driven by an air pump.

In addition to the hundreds of different kinds of aquarium fish that are available, your aquarium could be home to rays, snails, lobsters, crayfish, frogs, newts, starfish, anemones, shrimp, crabs, clams, coral, etc.

There is plenty of things you can put in a 5 gallon aquarium! You can put fish, rocks, filters, food ( for the fish), and anything else you think a fish needs in there.

You have a 3 gallon pail and a 7 gallon pail how could you use these pails to put exactly 8 gallons of water in an aquarium?

Easy. Fill the 7gal pail to the full mark (7 Gallons) with water. Then pour, from the 7 gallon pail, water into each of the 3 gallon pail up to the full mark. The remaining water left in the 7 gallon is 1 gallon. Pour this gallon into the aquarium. Fill the 7 gallon pail with water, again to the full mark, and then add to the aquarium. 1 Gallon + 7 Gallons = 8 Gallons.
