Why I put Snails and Gold Fish in my Farm Water tanks?
What happens here
The creator retrieves a small snail from one of the water tanks and explains its origin. He mentions that he found these snails on the side of a dock at a prominent lake in Virginia and thought to himself, 'I wonder what would happen if I put snails in my water tank?' This step involves the collection of pond or lake snails that are known to consume algae and detritus. The video also shows a goldfish in the tank, suggesting that goldfish can also be part of this biological cleaning system.
Goal: Obtain natural biological cleaners for the water tank.
Tools and materials
- Goldfish N/A — Assisting with pest control (insects, larvae) and contributing to tank ecosystem
