Another alternative. Get a generic 10 gallon. Get the incandescent
hood and use two 10watt screw-in fluorescent bulbs in it. Use a
submersible heater (25 or 50 watt) and an Aquaclear hang-on-back filter.

Submersible filters work, but they are visible and harder to clean.

And if you really want to grow plants, use EcoComplete for a substrate
instead of plain gravel and dose with Flourish Excel and a supplement
like Leaf Zone or the Fluorish eauivalent.

I'm no expert, but these are the things that have worked for me.

An all-glass type generic glass aquarium sized at 10 gallons only costs me
11 dollars (usa) each at my local department (in-town) store. Pretty cool
how cheap those things are now. Good luck and later!
