Backyard tub/pond

So I recently set up this back garden tub /pond to help grow more plants so far I've grown some dwarf water lettuce guppy grass java moss and java fern if anyone has any more suggestions I'll love to hear them

I've got a sponge filter running in there and some cherry shrimp

Grow plants in trays and pots. Kitty litter trays with gravel are great for growing Vallis. Sword plants do well in 1-2 litre plastic icecream buckets. Java Moss can be tied to some rock or driftwood and will grow rapidly outdoors.

Tried it in tubs like that before but it didn't grow don't know why just went all funny and died why I thought something close to a aquarium would work better
