Hey guys.
What could comfortably live in a setup like this:
I started the sketch because I thought it would be really nice to keep a shallow pool of Ludwigia sedioides (pictured below) by a window. Then I threw in a little shore, but I didn't know what to do with the false bottom, so I made it a bookshelf. I plan on making this, or something like this, after I move to a new place.
I'm a city dweller: efficient use of space is essential for me. Also, windows aren't very plentiful. That's why this habitat is so shallow: it can't block the window.
As for inhabitants, all I've been able to think of so far are freshwater crabs. I would love for this to be brackish water, but then I couldn't keep the Ludwigia sedioides. The greatest limitation here is the tank height: no escape artists! I have no interest in putting a cover over this thing. It has to be open to the room.
EDIT: For your convenience, I have added some photos of Ludwigia sedioides, also known as the mosaic plant, below.
