Aldrovanda Cultivation Setup Review: CO2, Water Hyacinths, and Sun Exposure

Your 5-gal white tank with peat water/soil, water hyacinths, noon–afternoon sun, and CO2 generator sounds viable.

Ensure water hyacinths share light/humidity needs—otherwise they'll die and foul water.
Prevent sun from overheating the shallow tank.
CO2 may help but isn't standard practice; monitor pH.
Natural prey in the tank is excellent.

Good growing!
