I found this site that gave me a great list of Coldwater fish.

I am planning on using this aquarium at work. Here is the description of the actual tank:
The base is black plastic that has a small light in the center, and also has a air filtration, (i'm guessing) that you can hook up airstones to. The actual tank is a hard-plexi-glass hex shaped form, i'm guessing no more than a 3 gallon.
This sits inside the black base, and has another flat grated black piece that sits inside the plexi-glass. This has fake plants attached to it that can be removed, and then the gravel goes on top of this.
My lid is a simple flat black lid, roughly ONLY 1" high,with one small square opening in the top, no partial opening; no light.
So I'm thinking that one of those very small filters, and outside pump will do (which I do have).
I'm questioning this under the base mechinism. Since I've never used an underground filter before, I have no idea what one looks like. Could this be what it is? Instead of just an air filtration system?
Also, since it is plexi-glass, how, could I actually use a heater if there is no way to attach it, & keep the lid on?? Here is a picture of the actual tank I found online:

You'd think I was a beginner at this, I have had a 30 gallon and currently keep a 10 gallon tank. This small one has me boggled.
But since it was given to me, I'd like to take advantage of it, I just don't know what would work best.
Any advice would be great!!
Thanks!!
