I Made a Mini Indoor Pond, Here’s How!

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

In this video I’ll take you through the journey of creating a mini indoor pond, & showing you how it evolves over 90 days. The pond is a low tech setup with no filter, co2 & very few water changes. An ecosystem like this one is a perfect way to bring a slice of nature inside & it’s ideal for beginners due to its simplicity. Enjoy the video:)

I was a little worried at first with rocks and wood and plants all up against the edges and projecting upward, but I guess cherry shrimp are smart enough to stay in the water...unlike some FISH and other aquatic critters I've had! What do the shrimp eat, are they algae grazers or are they eating plankton or similar?

    Fantastic work and the shrimp look so nice and comfortable there! How often do you find you need to top up the water in the pond and does it not stagnate in a no-filter environment? Would springtails make sense in a setup like this or there's not enough dry land for them / no way to keep them inside the setup? Thank you!

    I had the same thought with springtails, I think is there’s just not enough dry land & they would easily find their way out. I’ve been topping up ever 3-5 days & 20% water change every 3-4 weeks. No issues with stagnation yet & I think that’s due to the plants. Hope this was helpful:)
