Waterfalls are cool. Having a mini ecosystem containing a mini waterfall in your room is almost as cool. With a lot more aquascaping than expected, this project turned out to be more than a regular planted aquarium. With just a pump to simulate a water source, the climbing fish and shrimp were happy to commute up and down all day.
Follow along as the fish tank develops the natural way; with no filter, and no co2 injection.
