Plants will always help if there happens to be any aggression...which there probably wont be any.

well as long as you know there arent weird fertilizers or poisons in it, you could use anything, not just store bought stuff. I found missouri clay is absolutely amazing for aquariums.

by the way, the calico faintail and the comet are only in there for a moment. the tank i had for them started leaking. right now, i have mosquito fish, a kuhli loach, a baby bristlenose, blueberry shrimp, a super tiny baby bluegill, and the baby angels living in it.

alright, if i did this right, here are the pics of my ten gallon. no heater, filter, water tests, special media, ect. every now and then i do a water change. i barely fed the fish since there are many insects and breeding shrimps. they water stays warm from the light I use, the hair algae grows...

there are only two baby angels and they wont be there long

well does she seem unhealthy at all? its most likely nothing. she might just be bored

but isnt it better to ask other opinions instead of just doin some research and assuming youre right? that's kinda the whole reason I joined this forum.... And it is kinda anti-progressive to tell someone to not ask a question. all questions are good questions.

bubbles?

so long as the water is clean and she is eating, there isnt anything wrong with her

mine was 4 foot deep

Yea Ive never had that problem

salt is necessary

Ive literally used in the 12 different tanks ive had. the only dirt you cant use is anything with added fertilier unless you intend to keep the tank fish-free.

an enormous group of plants specifically need stagnant water to thrive though. plants need food, water and oxygen as a basis, whether or not there is flow is not entirely important. besides, if my plants and fish can grow better than they ever have in a non filtered ten gallon, im sure it will...

kinda hard tto keep those guys. they get enormous...maybe look into securing a pond for it a few years down the road?
