HOW TO: NO FILTER BOWL AQUARIUM SETUP || MD FISH TANKS

1st Job MD'ers...like the video for me. It helps more than you know! Can we hit 2000 likes???
So these little no filter nano aquariums are my favourite. I really like the bowl aquariums as well as they are particularly challenging given the magnification the bowl creates.
Hopefully you enjoy this one guys. I enjoyed it so much, there will be more no filter nano tanks coming soon :)

Can I put in a goldfish in a set up like this? I've just started looking into getting a smaller pet lately juggling between a hamster, rabbit or fish and I've finally decided on a fish, specifically a gold fish or two but I'm looking into a set up that's not too fancy or high maintenance and this got me intrested. So will at least 2 goldfishes be alright in a tank that's set up like this???

[@AirWarrior97395]

No, goldfish need wayyy more room than this. 2 goldfish would probably need like a 40 gallon tank. If you don't want a tank then you could do a patio pond or indoor pond.

And you are absolutely right about being able to put some nano fish in a bowl this size, I have 4 embers and a colony of shrimp in my planted bowl this same size and they are thriving, the fish display the exact behavior you are talking about, so active. Good luck with the UG, such a challenging plant but that would be awesome if you got it going in such a simple setup. Looking forward to more updates on this and all your other projects.

Soil and me don't get along at all. Every time I plant, I mess up the substrate. So after a while, I ended up gluing the plants onto the logs and rocks so that if I ever needed to do a full clean for any reason, all I'd need to do is to lift the logs and the rocks. Easy to place back in too.

A no filter aquarium is a horrible idea we all know how water smells if you let it sit for a couple of days this is exactly what happens to these aquariums only quicker I guess it's all right if you want to do a water change every 3 days otherwise this is a horrible idea okay it might be a good idea if you don't mind the smell of stale rotting water...

When i did a dirted tank it just leaked tanents all the time. Grew well but i didnt want a black water.

[@MDFishTanks]

did you cap it with fine sand and did you remove all the sticks. Was there wood in the tank as well?

[@yoyo_hughes_1179]
