Update on the pest tank

For those of you not in the know I have a tank set up for 6 years now.
Initially it was a 10g, a few years back I upgraded it to a 30g.
Any ugly frags left at meets, any scraps, any 'WTF is that?' items are arbitrarily thrown in it.
Nothing has ever been purchased for it.
No sump, just a hang on back Aqueon filter that I change the floss in 1x per week.
It has NEVER seen a water change, just ATO top offs.
Easiest tank ever and doing very well. :)

And yes, that is a happy rainbow nem, that occasionally splits, and has lived in a tank with no water changes for 6 years.

Couple moons back I was moving some BTA's off rocks to get them out of a tank. After I traded/sold the big uns I found one so small, like pinkie nail small, and having nowhere else to put it, I dumped it in the pest tank.
Now he's about baseball sized and doesn't really get any bigger.
