A minor success with this tank: Anubias really does look like tea leaves. Give them serrated edges and you could scarcely tell them apart.

Lol, you are correct.
Nice lush tank, plants are loving it.

Which species of anubia ? After all some anubia look like other things we can't say.

Coffeefolia and a couple varieties of barteri. None of the embarrassing varieties; just good old, g-rated plant life.

Well the coffefolia is middle back but the one in front is something else - maybe a plain bateri or could it be Frazeri or congensis ?

Found a dead hillstream loach today. The others look ok.

Seems rather barbaric. Imagine the crickets final moments.

We could say the same for the live foods we feed fish. I suppose less would think of a bloodworms final moments

@ WhistlingBadger Nope - I used to sit entranced watching my 4 fire bellied toads 'slide' down a curved log in the paladurnium I had them in. Such interesting little critters.

Good snack!

I feed mostly wild bugs in the summer, and I don't really worry about the ethical implications, since grasshoppers generally don't seem to die quietly in their beds. I just like watching my frog hunt.
