I’m just gonna copy from previous post:
Miss BB ended up in that vase as a 1 day old fry when I transferred some plants. I had no idea until she was about 6 months old. The vase was between 2 tables and full of guppy grass, so I didn’t always look at it. Nor did I feed anything for those 6 months! I do now tho.
I tried numerous times to get her out of there, to no avail. It’s a 7.5 gallon vase and she is 3 years old by now. I just pulled out another load of guppy grass and left about a third of it in there. Miss BB ran out of room to swim. But she also keeps it all fertilized along with the snails.
There’s no tech xcept the light now that I moved the vase to a better visible spot.
September eggy has lived here for 9 months now. This makes him my eldest wild-caught barnacle so far. His real age is around 1 year and 3 months or so.
algae only tank?
i kinda want a tank that is just hair algae and some stones i find it very beautiful. has anyone ever seen this before & have recommendations / warnings. i think it would only be for snails & maybe shrimp so small 5 gallons or so.
my other thought was a stone and java moss tank but the hair algae seems less boring. idk.

Rest of the setups are 3 year old demijohn, the bichir and ropefish tank, then the big one with cichlids, plecos and 2 crayfish, and lastly the vampire crab mansion.
The tall one uses a rope as wick with moss tied to it. The knot keeps the water from evaporating.
The purse is my scud purse. I top off once a week with bottled drinking water cuz this does evaporate quickly.
The globe is my windowsill pond and the little whiskey glass has Suesswassertang.
