This is my self sustaining ecosystem aquarium that I've built for my new betta fish and ricefish. The idea behind this aquarium is that once you get past the initial few weeks of "fish in cycling", the tank will not require water changes, will need minimal feeding as the shrimp will breed and micro fauna will populate the tank. All that will be required is to top up the water level as it evaporates and trim / replant the plants. Lovely!!! I will feed the tank with some quality flake food every other day though just to ensure there is enough food for the fish. The wood will also keep nitrates at a respectable level and provide nutrients for the plants.
