  1. The author of The Dragon Murder Case and his wife had some 40 aquariums in their Manhattan apartment, and were members of the New York Aquarium Society that met at the American Museum of Natural History. The fish stuff in the book was double-checked by a professional ichthyologist. Love the clip!
  2. I like it very much. Your experience reminds me very much of when I was boy living in farm country (circa 1965), no pet shops, and I won a goldfish at a local fair, but then got the gravel, plants, and live food from local ditches. I found a 2 gallon jar in the cellar, and the whole thing was powered by sunlight.
  3. Most people in those days did not cover their tanks. So, with proper lighting, you might be able to get the Parrot Feather to grow out up over the top. I hope you have much success with the plants because, as Innes writes, that is a key to a healthy aquarium when one has no filtration.
  4. Great thread you started, Daniel. If you listen to Aquarist Podcast 15, you will hear that I consider the 1930s to be a Golden Era of the aquarium hobby and why. Your project is very doable and you will have healthy fish and plants. I’ll follow with interest. Joe Ferdenzi
