Adding a filter to a water pump

[HerpDerp]

Thanks Bill! Once a fish person, always a fish person . I never thought of the shrimp getting munched on lol. Another good idea is feeder guppies. They can be quite pretty if you hand pick them and are super cheap. I have fallen in love with the ones I keep with my crayfish. And if they do get eaten it's cheap enough to replace them. But you might have to get rid of the babies if they breed enough.

Guys, thanks so much for the feedback. The water level will be around 3 - 5 inches deep, I was thinking of adding a fresh water snail (have had good results with them) or some small Tetras or Guppies to just clean up any mess in the water (also have had good results with these guys in the past). The water will have a few plants in it, and the land area will have plants as well. My main concern really is the water becoming a bit stale, even though it will be running through a pump, but I think by wrapping it in a filter medium is such a great idea.
