Someone I know wanted to place a goldfish in a old whiskey barrel I have full of water and floating lilies. He believed the fish would survive in stagnant, non-filtered water.
You don't actually need a filter if you have enough plants.

The barrel contains ammonia and is completely stagnant. It just has the one lily in there. I wouldn't personally put any living thing in there.

Oh if there's only 1 lily then yeah definitely don't. Still, stagnant water doesn't necessarily mean bad for fish, just means that plants are the only other way of oxygenating the water.
