Simple Walstad Aquarium with Pothos and Pearlweed ❤️????????????
~
Featuring Neocaridina shrimp and a ramshorn snail as the clean-up crew.
Pearlweed helps oxygenate and filter the water, while pothos enhances ammonia and nitrate absorption.
~
This is a grow-out tank for my wild-type guppy fry, they’ll be moving to a bigger tank soon as they have matured.
~
This is a low-tech, no-filter Walstad aquarium, where plants naturally filter the water and enrich it with oxygen. Maintaining a high plant-to-livestock ratio is essential. More plants help absorb waste and improve water quality, while fewer animals prevent excess nutrients from accumulating.
