No CO2, No Fertz, No Filter, No Water Change

Another solid video

so helpful!

I’m thinking of starting a 25l aquarium with a beta and 4 neon tetras. I’ve never kept fish before, and so i wondered if you thought putting in a filter but only running it during the day and having lots of plants is a good idea? is there anything i need to watch out for?

Bravo from Romania Dracula land ❤🎉

I made all of these mistakes too. =p But it turned out to be my best tank & is largely algae-free, apart from an initial diatom explosion & water change.
I still use my own compost in every tank, but I put down a 1cm clay layer first (we have dense, red clay), then compost + ferts (blood & bone meal + ash) & then sand.
I've had detritus worms, but no planaria, no hydra either. But the wood pieces have developed interesting fungal colonies over time. At first it was just a shrimp & snail tank (9g long), but now it's "horny jail" for a couple of guppies + 6 rummynose rasboras, 1 remaining CPD, a mystery snail & a rabbit snail, as well as a few nerites.

I am currently setting up my filter less planted tank. How do I make sure I am using the correct water? Do I use filtered water?

How did you fix the planaria problem you mentioned here?

Thank you!!
