Thanks for the close up plant pics, Noodle. That seems like longer leaves than I remember my HM having. Emersed vs submerged maybe? I don't know...there's also MM, similar I think, micrathemum micramoides? I just try whatever my plant clubbers share
Acorn is looking prettier by the day! I love that you are feeding him such great live foods, I know I don't have the patience lol.
It's submersed, the plant. Just the tank is shallow, and the plant has been left to grow so it looks like a taller plant. With such a narrow tank, gotta pick plants that would normally be used as a foreground plant as a background plant. I know it's it's true pearlweed, not the kind also called baby tears. I kill that one lol
I'm used to hatching baby brine shrimp, thanks to the baby fish. So hatching those for him isn't a problem.
And mosquito larvae are easy if you've got a planter outside with some water lettuce just kicking around where you can harvest them from it. Just collect, strain, then rinse, then house them in a jar to siphon out with a pipette. They'd be a seasonal food though.
Hes pretty fat from all the food yesterday lol
And a gif of him hunting mozzie larvae, he loves them
