First Vivarium!

Update!!!!
So a lot has happened over the past week with the viv and I really like the way it is coming together!
First I added some Krauss' spikemoss (Selaginella kraussiana).
Then there was quite a bit of growth on both my tall mystery plant and my pincushion plant.
And after a week since the first sliver of seperation, my N. ventricosa has fully opened!
An interesting situation came along this past week too. A fruit fly found it's way into the tank and for a few days it was hanging around by the pincushion plant and as soon as the picher opened it was gone. I can only assume that it left it's safe plant and went for a dip!
This plant also has a new leaf that opened with the start of a new pitcher and the opening of that leaf exposed another leaf that it still fully curled!
Now after close to 100 pictures I got a single good one of my male guppy!
He's young so I don't know what his tail is going to turn out to be. When I got him it was round but has since formed more of a triangle. At the LFS he was labeled as a purple dragon male but his finnage was not stated. He is in there with 4 females (2 half blacks, 2 mixes). I am interested to see what happens to the population as time goes on as 2 of my females are VERY elongated and one of those has a rounded mouth rather than the normal pointed one.
Thanks for looking!

It's coming along very nicely and (knock on wood) seems to have adjusted well to my conditions.
Here's a few more shots of it that I didn't put up earlier.
This one shows the start of a new pitcher on the end of a newly opened leaf.
