So this is my "rubbish tank" outside my house, filled with trimmings of crypt wendtii, willisilli, hairgrass, rotala and pellia.
Inhabitants are,
2 oto
1 red claw crayfish
2 female guppy
7 b. Briggitae
1 b. Merah
20+ pond snails

The crayfish looks like a lurking behemoth in that tank.

i have a rubbish tank but tore it down because i didn't want to breed mosquitos where i live and since i didn't have a filter i was worried about putting fish in it. however i dont see any filters in your set up. how do your fish survive? also don't the pond snails end up eating everything?

Fish survive through my plants photosynthesis. Nope they feed on algae that grows on tank wall

Update :
The red claw seemed to be killed by someone or something, and after killing it, was left it my tank to rot. Now my corridor spells like cat Shit .... Gonna throw away everything in that tank tomorrow and put all the faunas alive to my crypt tank for a while, then when my conditions are met to sell and buy items, I'll sell them away.

Who said fish must have filter... Haha.. Fish farms don't use filter when breeding some fish.

Also fish can nibble on plants & algae.

also, i know fish farms dont use them but unlike a fish farm, my fish spend their entire lives in my tank and i wanna try to make them feel at least a bit more comfortable.

Haha... Got filter more safe.. More bio filtration.

Depends on what aspect of the hobby bro. For the more fish people... Yes of course... Not everyone understands

Felix is right. Fish farms are the best homes for fish, since they reproduce and farm them for sale by export and to fish shops after culling the best specimens. And in the fishes' natural habitat, there is no such thing as filtering. Filtering is a mindset. The proper term to think of should be water conditioning, not filtering as such.
