My "Wild" Tank

Just for fun I thought I would share this, I call this my "Wild" Tank , not cause it is a specific biotope but because I just let everything in it grow wild then harvest some of the moss or horn wort for other tanks , just wondering if you guys have something similar? A so called working tank rather then a display or breeding tank.

I have a very similar setup.
Just a bunch of hornwort, with some guppies, mollies and a rescue Betta.
Recent additions are a couple of kuhli loaches that have adapted well.

 

Nice I just have a few different tetras and 2 female banded gourami o and snails which came with the hornwort which is annoying cause I have to wash it really well when putting it into another tank.

No but great idea @col182. In Summer I do grow. Plants in a old tank outside although in a emmersed form

 

I have a 3ft im using as a nursery tank,no gravel just anubias and java fern attached to rocks and driftwood and some crypts in pots with a potting medium im trying out.theres a t8 with a heater and pump,i barely look at it but do a water change about twice a year.tank has so much algae and snails can barely see through the front glass.from what i can make out the anubias are growing an the crypts a bit,wil know more december

 

Is ur tank inside or outside @oscar freak

 

I want to try grow some things outside this summer , will see how it goes.

 

inside,though the plants were outside in the summer in a spare tank I had its nice cause then I collect the mosquito larvae that comes along with it.

 

Sounds like a bonus @oscar freak nice plants and live food

 

didn't really work on the plants just lots of algae,loads of larvae though and it was only a 1ft tank
