Little update on Mikhail's tank~

The dwarf sagittaria that was pretty much brown shoots had bounced back after root tabs were placed under them. Hopefully, there will be a carpet again soon! The cryptocoryne wendtii went through a bit of a melt and lost the majority of its old leaves, but new ones are growing, so that's good!

The vallisneria asiatica is doing fine. It's sending out new leaves that are spreading across the surface, and we have one new runner~

The anubias has a new leaf, but without snails in the tank, they're suffering from detritus and algae. I rub them off periodically, but it just comes back.

The Java fern just up and melted right back, which is a shame because it was bright and healthy when I put it in here, and it takes so long for them to get to that size. At least for me. So I think I'm going to put it back in the tank I got it from and put something else there. I'm not really sure what though tbh.

Anyways I thought I would also show Mikhail's reaction to me taking photos of the tank. I bet some of you can already guess what he thought lol

Once he got over trying to fight the camera, I did get this nice one of him.

Pretty boy~

I wanted to get a shot of the floating plants in here, so I opened the food hatch and instead was met with this.

I did a thing.

I got plant weights.

I also said FUCK IT and put the new plants that came today in the snail tank (RIGHT).

I have way too big of a headache to plant and scape today so I literally just weighted my plants and sunk em like a bad monster. Fergus' tank looks fucking ridiculous, maybe I'll scape it later but tbh he likes exploring his plants jungle the messier it looks so 🤷🏻‍♀️

I got this shit going on in fergus' tank.

I'm pretty sure my java is invading my tank. I'm so excited.

I also have these new floater stem things that I have no idea what they are. May be my dwarf grass??
