re: Plant pots
To the plant pots question:
Did you ever do this? It is the same category as a pond, which is great because there is no glass cleaning
Other than that, you treat it just like an aquarium. I imagine that temperature is of most concern; probably will need a shade.
Filtering can be as simple as: none. Just sand and rocks/wood. Or add plants.
I'm sure you'll want no water changes, so just keep the fish load low.
Cycling never hurts, so as to build up the beneficial bacteria. Not mandatory though, if you start slow (1 small fish).
