show us your fish tank

I dug our tank out of the shed earlier this week and decided to get another fish. It's only a very small freshwater tank, about 30 litres. Have a Fluval 1+ sponge filter running to help oxygenate the water. Didn't realise you now have to wait days for the water to stabilise. I even had to de-chlorinate the tap water. Tried to buy a fish and they wouldn't sell me one.
Years ago, you just won a goldfish on hook a duck and dropped it in a tank of cold tap water.
As the tank is so small not sure what fish to get. Maybe a couple of minnows, corydoras or dannio?

It has sprung a leak though, only minuet but worried to repair it incase it gets worse. I moved it from the kitchen to living room and since then it has been weeping.

Earwig,
Did you find the leak?
If you can, it's better to sillicone a small piece of glass over the crack?
It might be the seams and with a tank that small just put the fish in a bucket with your original water and re-seal the seams mate, will be a breeze.
Make sure its completely dry before you apply the sillicone!

I think it's just a pin hole as it seems to have stopped now. I was coming from the seam, each corner has a plastic protective beading sealed on and it was weeping behind as I could see little beads running down from behind it.
I marked the water level and monitored the side and the water level and it has been ok. A guy from work is dropping me a slightly bigger tank over tomorrow, but TBH I'm thinking of getting a bigger one on payday later in the month.
Got a baby Red Cherry Shrimp today and introduced him/her (difficult to tell) to the rest of the tank. It's not red yet, more clear and difficult to keep track cos it's so small. Quick little fecker though when it wants to be!
I'll try and get some pics up

Not really into fish but thought those that are might be interested in what is, allegedly, the World's smallest fishtank...
