Fill up a clean 3 liter plastic bottle with dechlorinated aged water.
Add gravel to cover the bottom.
Now we can add plants and critters.
Here I add a cutting of rooted Elodea.
Poke holes in the bottle about 2 cm above the water level.
Let's add another cutting of Elodea.
Add 3 Bladder snails.
I add a couple months old land moss growing underwater.
It's been growing well so far even in a smaller jar.
Also, let's add some floating Frogbits plants.
The plants and snails will have access to the atmospheric air only through the holes we made.
Would the plants and snails sustain for a couple months in this tank without any additional nutrition?
Also, let's check how this young Dwarf Lilly would do in this tank.
Here it goes.
I keep Seed Shrimp in all my aquariums.
All tiny critters usually come with plants I moved into any new tank anyway.
Let's make it official and put some Seed Shrimp in the tank.
I closed the bottle on July 1st 2018 and left as it is for a couple months.
About 5 months later on November 26th, 2018.
Some snails and Seed shrimp survived without me feeding them at all.
The plants look weak, but alive.
I see a baby snail here.
The water level did not changed at all.
Have fun and happy aquariums :)
