Leaches

I plan on raising leaches and using them for medical research purposes. Obviously, I’m not funded by any institution and have 0 experience in the medical field. But damn it I want to strap a leach to my knee and say it’s for health!
Anyway, I was curious the types of plants you’d recommend. Medical leaches shed their skin about twice a week, and they poop once a week (brownish red watery discharge). I was curious how many oysters would be needed to filter out a family of 50-100 leaches. The way the oysters will clean is just by having small holes in the tank to allow water to pass thru, but too small for baby leaches to sneak thru

why don't you just look up how people actually raise leeches like for bait or whatever
you're not going to get around filtering and cleaning the tank yourself, oysters or no oysters

>Your not gonna filter the tank, oysters or no oysters
That’s the point, oysters will do it but I won’t
>How ppl raise leeches
I’ve done that but I want to know what plants to use specifically. A lot of setups are just water jug+ leech. It’s not my thing. I just want to pull my little vampire out, give him some dinner, then put him back in and let the plants take care of the rest
