I love you creativity in this tank. What a wonderful idea! My concern is wheether it is really a ciable way to maintain these fish to daulthood. The fish we can see look pretty skinny.

This is a very clever biotope. I think it's the first time I've seen someone put such effort into creating what amounts to a truly ephemeral habitat. With such a shallow water column and lack of filtration I wonder how this system will stand up over time.
