In my 10g shrimp tank, my Java fern was propagating, and some sections of scarlet temple were growing new roots. Hopefully they'll establish here. It's my first time using fluval stratum, and I capped it with play sand that I rinsed several times. If all goes well, could I put a few bladder snails in here?

I went to the lake and got some rocks and soil and water. The rocks had moss on them. Do I need another plant? Can I use one from my neighborhood pond?

This is my first time.

Species ID help!

Almost 4 months in, dozens of baby (?) snails have appeared in my closed jar from a Pacific Northwest pond. The only thing I added was some random aquatic plants I found in a flooded ditch in the forest...could they have hitchhiked there? What are they, and what can I expect? I have a couple dozen of another snail species with a cone-shaped shell different from this ramshorn shape.

Incredible that after four months I still find new organisms in this jar...

Right now I plan on seeing which ones die or melt and removing them...

My one and a half year old fly dungeon/jar

I want to make a mini jarrarium for my microscope to get a good area for some bacteria to exist. What would be a good size? Would I need to let oxygen in? Anyone tips would be appreciated.

I am putting together a Shrimp Jarrium for the first time, and was wondering what plants I could add to it that would do well in relatively low/medium light. The jar will NOT be near any windows, so all lighting will either be from ambient office lights or more likely, a reading lamp.

I am currently looking at getting Anubias, Pearl Weed, and Wisteria; but I would like additional recommendations.

I am also open to external plants with their roots in the water, such as Pothos or other similar.

Any additional suggestions for this project are welcome (Co2, Fertilizers, Water change frequency, other decorations, etc)

I bought this small fern like plant the other day and Im thinking of putting it in my jarrarium! Im afraid though that it will grow fast and take over the jarrarium. Is it safe to put it in?
