There are some holes drilled in the bottom acrylic sheet of the "planter".
My anubias hastifolia haven't been doing too well in this tank. The top leaves are turning brown on the tips, spreading to the rest of the leaf. (Too much light???). I I've clipped the 2 tallest leaves but the next 2 are doing it now. A couple of the bottom leaves under the water have turned yellow and I've clipped them also.
I got a couple of small anubias (nana? barteri?) the other day and replaced the hygrophila kompakt. The hygro was doing very well for a long time but I raised the water level because it was a favorite hiding spot for my shrimps, which were being picked off 1 by 1 by my vicious betta. Raising the water level had the effect of totally flattening out the plant for some reason, so it ended up just looking like a mess.
I put an anubias in its place, and moved the hygro down to the bottom of the tank. Also added a moss ball.
I moved the betta to a new 5g and I should be receiving a shipment of 20+ cherry shrimps tomorrow (thought they'd arrive today but USPS is too slow...). The paludarium will be a shrimp-only tank from here out. I only have 1 survivor of the betta left and I found him stuck to the filter today. I pried him off and he is still alive, but not moving too much... doesn't look good...
I will take some more pictures once the shrimps are established and maybe after a little more gardening... might end up buying some new plants, I'm not sure yet....
