20 gallon high
Flora:
Jungle Val (Along back, not really doing that well, but seems to be recovering. Initially many blades turned to sludge and came off. but the surviving plants seem to be doing better)
Java Fern (Middle, on substrate. Didn't seem interested in staying on rock, so I just weighed the raft down with some substrate and left it. Happy and multiplying with roots coming from leaves)
Java Lace Fern (On rock and driftwood. Doing well and making new shoots of rhizomes)
Dwarf Sag (Along front. Doing well. Forming small lawn in open spaces)
Anubis (On driftwood. Came established from LFS. No noticeable changes)
Fauna:
Pair Electric Blue Rams (Newest additions, nearly two weeks in. Swim about freely, but favour bottom, even at feeding.)
Shoal Cardinal Tetras (Second oldest members, about a month in. Normal shoaling behaviour. Typically found in mid levels, except at feeding.)
Shoal Glass Catfish (Second newest members, three weeks in. Skittish bottom dwellers, hide except at feeding time, when they become boldest members of the community. I had expected them to be at top, but suspect that the lack of fauna up there keeps them in hiding lower.)
Shoal White Cloud Mountain Minnows (Half oldest members of community, month and a half in, half added with tetras. Formed cohesive school. Top most residents.)
Dwarf Spotted Corys (Added oldest WCMM. Swim about independently, constantly foraging.)
Otos (Added with Glass Cats. Swim about independently, constantly foraging. Seem happy and healthy.)
Mystery Snails (Added with rams. One moves about near constantly, always foraging. One moves rarely, but has been spotted eating. One is a balance of the others.)
