Hey, I've been thinking about this for a year now. Is it possible to create a mini mangrove swamp habitat for brackish water creatures? Here is what I'd need to purchase and work on to make one:
1. Get a small, plastic kiddie pool.
2. Buy some sand/mud/whatever is the soil of mangrove trees in actual forests.
3. Fill the pool with an inch or so of sand, then fill it with brackish water.
4. Buy a HUEG plastic tree thing or a mangrove tree with broad roots
5. Buy a filter that won't be able to be seen, as well as the bacteria and all that stuff needed for a normal tank.
6. After the tank is finished cycling and whatnot, get the fish. Preferably mudskippers and bumblebee gobies, and if the pool is big enough get monos and scats and puffers, and all those other brackish water fish you rich people have.
7. Get a small room or greenhouse to keep the habitat in so the animals won't escape.
8. ????
9. Profit!1!!!1
If you guys don't get what I'm talking about I'll upload a beautiful picture of the habitat drawn in MS paint. But seriously, could this work?
