I'm trying to set up a new nano-tank that has no filter. Here is my plan and please let me know since I've never done this before:
-Tank capacity (7 gallons)
-One male Betta
-around 5 pots worth of Anubias Nana Petite
-the surface covered in floating plants
Would this be enough to keep the betta healthy in terms of water parameters? I've heard that there would be enough good bacteria in the substrate and decor, and the floating plants would act as an added benefit in a variety of ways. I'll do weekly water changes and feed minimally as well.
Thoughts?
My thinking is that a filter is basically good for water polishing/mechanical filtration.
