All of what Gabriella says is sound. This particular point, however, is
worth thinking about. Perhaps someone can keep this in the back of his/her
mind. This would make a good project for anything from a sixth-grade science
project to a thesis. Observations of a big, shallow tank full of fish and
leaves would be rather informative. A plastic wading pool would work, if we
could actually see what was going on. A large, flat glass tank would be
feasible, but it would take up a huge footprint.
