The pond with some Triops
I just found stringy green hairlike things... could this be "hair algae"?

if it is.... yaaay! my first algae! lol.
 
Hair algae is awful and it has been my experience that it can suffocate live plants. If that is what you have I would try to get rid of it. Sorry.

hold on... wwwaaaiiiittt..... oh well.

it's another plant! looks like a baby of my fern, just growing on the tip. so THAT'S the hair thing... the roots! And i see the itty bitty rhyzome lol.
that's a good sign, i guess. My water sprite started making more leaves and my ferns (all of them, can you believe it?!) are making more plants!

I'm still happy anyways

:D
 
but wait a minute...

i thought ferns get more leaves from the rhyzome! and besides, my ferns (2 out of 3) has spores on them...

:OT:
wow at the same time, i saw my hermit crab switch shells for the first time in my life lol.
yay, good luck!
but i don't believe in luck...
hmm...
