[quote=Anonymous]We had fish and a naturally planted aquarium. Once the plants were established, we only needed to clean it every once in a while. We also did not need to feed the fish regularly. They ate stuff off the plants. The plants and fish waste created its own ecosystem, so we tried to leave it undisturbed. The warer was clear greenish, like clear lake water. We did have to top off regularly due to evaporation. Due to the high chlorine in northern Virginia water, we had to use pet store water, ehich was the most expensive part. We mostly had platty fish, which are mostly low maintenance except they breed incessantly, and eat their own spawn, which might be upsetting for kids. We had to have a separate "nursery" bowl for the ones we were able to catch and rescue. Over the pandemic, we ended up supplying half of the locked down neighborhood kids with fish due to the prolific reproduction by the platy fish.[/quote]
