"blast from the past" thread right here lol! This was a project I did with my 12 year old son and had fun. (see the green paint on the wall from his room) I kept them for about a year and enjoyed it. I replaced this set up with a 50 gallon acrylic tank for them along with a 15 gallon wet/dry (failed first attempt at a sump) with floating turtle docks and live mangroves. I still have one of the mangrove plants in my 125 gallon today in fact. The best thing I can tell you is the more water volume you have, the better. These fish are messy if you want to grow them to a large size. If I remmeber correctly mine were about 6" when I sold them and I think I kept them for around a year. Get yourself a tank you can half fill and a canister and your good to go.

PM me for any specific questions you have and I will be happy to help. ;)
