Most plants will do well like this. If you keep up with water changes, have tooons of plants, keep only small fish, and have some surface disruption, I don’t think a filter is a total necessity.
Hornwort does have a reputation for rapid growth and consumption of waste, but it certainly isn't your only option! The basic rule of thumb is that most st plants will be fast growers and help keep your tank clean. Stargrass, cabomba, ludwigia, hygrophila, and countless other choices can all be used to a similar effect. Slower growing plants (anubias, java ferns, mosses, etc.) will have a less appreciable effect on your water quality.Do you have any recommendations for fast growing, rooted plants? Or plants in general? Personally not a big fan of hornwort
Pretty much !Side note: I feel like Kribensis27 and I spend half the day following each other around threads agreeing with each other. Well met, stranger!
Not filter! That's cheating! Foo the Flowerhorn covers all this in this video.I want to remake my fish tank using the Walstad Method. The best plants I have for this are Lutea crypts and an amazon sword. What other plants would be great for this method. Also want some general advice. Should I use a filter? Since I plan on using an air pump to provide oxygen for the very beginning of the method.
