Default My ecosystem

No air pump, no filtration, just moss (US fissiden), and 10 fishes and one oto.
Just sunlight from the window. Weekly WC about 10%.

The container is 4 L and water is almost full. Feeding is a few times per day with crushed pellets, don't overfeed.

Should be able to keep shrimps but without fishes. Those hardy low end shrimps like cheery should be fine.

Very peaceful little ecosystem, fish seems happy live within it.

Any air bubbles release out from the moss?

Thx for sharing
