Haro, ya, we have a lot of plants in there, some rooted plants and a lot of duckweed.
So tonight we were at the LFS and bought more critters for the small tank:
- We did get the Thai Micro Crab, but I'm very disappointed in it. It's tiny, about 1cm including the legs. The red clawed crab is about 50 times bigger. Once in, it sorta lay around for a while and then disappeared! That was the quickest $3.99 I ever threw away is what I told my son!
- We got a tiger shrimp who basically disappeared as soon as we let him go!
- Got a long plant, can't remember it's name, will have to ask my son. It's only of this long thin ones that you root in the gravel and it reaches almost all the way to the surface. It actually came with a very small fish that we did not see. So we rinsed the plant with water and almost threw the fish out. It didn't get acclimatized because we didn't see it and was upside down near the surface when it got into the tank. After some time we didn't see it anymore and my son said that the betta probably at it.
- The betta is eating now. She's not that shy anymore and will gather around the feeding ring with the other fish.
I'll update again tomorrow.
