🌿Creating a fully functional lake ecosystem on a desk
🐠Adding a variety of fish, shrimp, and snails to the ecosystem
🌍Exploring the daily lifestyle and survival mechanisms of the creatures
💡Dealing with challenges like water clarity and algae
🌿Feeding the ecosystem and maintaining its balance
Why did you choose to build a lake ecosystem on your desk?
—I wanted to transform my boring desk into something exciting and unique. Plus, I've always been fascinated by aquatic life.
What materials did you use to build the ecosystem?
—I used a 21g tank, substrate mix, rocks, wood, reverse osmosis water filter, aquatic plants, clarity solution, and fish food.
How did you handle challenges like water clarity and algae?
—I used a clarity solution to clear up the water and added in snails and yo-yo loaches to help clean up the algae.
Did you encounter any difficulties during the process?
—Yes, I had to deal with water clarity issues, balancing the ecosystem, and ensuring the right conditions for each species.
How do you maintain the ecosystem's balance and feed the creatures?
—I feed the fish a variety of food, including blood worms, and monitor the water parameters regularly to ensure a healthy environment.
