Just wanted to show off my set up. Just found him at Lowe's Friday and the new pot, light, and soil got here this afternoon. Not sure about the critters or moss, would love feedback or ideas! I believe it is a Rock Jade (The label just said "Bonsai"). I like the second picture better but swapped him out with my (also new) Betta fish by the window so she wouldn't be in the sun, and so that the Bonsai would get more sun!

P. Afra or dwarf jade
I reckon you’re quacking up pretty badly…
Beware;
1 no drianage holes are dangerous in terms fo root rot.
2 “Irish moss” is not moss but a plant with a deep taproot competing with surface roots
3 the light is probably insufficient for keeping it away from a window
Other than that keep on quackin’.
Welcome to the hobby! In case you didn’t know, dwarf jade is considered a succulent so watering them is different than traditional bonsai. Wrinkly leaves are the best indicator of when it’s thirsty
Looks like a succulent to me. Nice plant.
