Avocado Bonsai Walstad Aquarium ❤️????????????????
~
I am growing an avocado bonsai in this aquarium.

This is a Walstad aquarium, a natural approach to fishkeeping that relies on a soil substrate and abundant live plants to create a self-sustaining ecosystem. The plants handle filtration and oxygenation, eliminating the need for filters or air pumps and making it a low-maintenance setup. If you’re curious to learn more, I highly recommend exploring Diana Walstad’s method, it’s an excellent way to maintain a healthy, eco-friendly aquarium.
