148.6L (39.2 gallon) aquarium journal

200 days! That's flown by!

Excluding floating plants. I would say what Colin suggested previously, a background of some kind (I reckon black would bring out the colours). You could go to a local craft store and buy some black card. My first tank had that and at the time was cheaper than aquarium store backgrounds.
A varied diet is always good for any fish IMO. You could experiment with small amounts of vegetable matter and see what they do. The snails will definitely take advantage of any food as well. If the snail population gets too large, you can use the food as a trap and then remove them along with the food.

This is a good watch

Zucchini on a fork in the tank is interesting. Is the metal on the fork for feeding safe to put in an aquarium?
 
A stainless steel fork should be ok for a short period. Any other metal or long exposure could possibly cause issues.

I use suction cups. Specifically heater ones since they have the prongs to attach vegetables to.
 
Here is the tank now.
