Very interesting tank compared to the traditional tank with a bunch of fish.... I like it!

Have you considered adding daphnia and or scuds?

UPDATE

small frog i caught in a stream by my local park. anyone know what kind is it?


i love this tank. its messy, ugly, and natural.

so i now have lots and lots of snails and critters. i now have a huge familly of ramhorn snails which are awesome, tons of pond snails, SCUDS, copepods, worms worms worms, HUGE planarias, a dwarf crayfish!, and some random plants. also got some MTS recently from the August meeting.

as for my fairy shrimps, they are disappearing everyday, my guess is my cray fish is catching and eating them because i never see any dead bodies. i dont mind since i could just hatch more. clams shrimps are all dead now.
