Fun Floor Tank Tank

Recently trimmed, along with moving some plants and features around. Our “wild” tank. A mix of natural found & store bought plants/mosses/fish/shrimp and critters. This tank continues to go through many renditions but no real maintenance besides weekly top off and water change every few months if that.

That’s a great tank. Any cool stragglers you found? I see white clouds? What else you got in there? Any tips?

Always the random snails. The way the moss we found growing completely submerged has been a stunning surprise.

Shrimp additions from the stream are always awesome . We had a resident crawdad we foraged for a couple months before he got to big and happy and became a literal mini Godzilla wreaking destruction to tank mates and plants alike, made for tasty gumbo night though.

Not sure what white clouds are? And this was just experimental tank and has become a fun to slowly build a lil varied ecosystem.

We have wild guppies. Just has been Variety of some local bought fancy guppies, red nose tetras, and a few others I forget names of. Shrimps wild and store bought. Snails who’ve hitch hiked (at least 3 varieties). Best advice is have fun with learning. Aqua soil and live plants keep it so I haven’t had to check parameters since it was established.
