I started with a enclosure, set It up, was doing well, but then added the trio, and lost a few plants
no sign of isopod acivity sadly, but TONS of springtails
Anyhow also noted the girls seemed really happy but he male was spending a bit of time at the top of the cage.. perhaps just temps... but think he was feeling a little stress..
not that I wanted to change a lot, I did feel needed some adjustment biased on the behavior...
So, here it is.. redo.. second photo, I think one of the girls is either gravid, or as she is a piggy dinner time fat
Opinions? I think some of my plant/moss issues is how mounted, but also perhaps lighting.. I am using a older 5.0 CFL right now, it is still pretty cool, so cage temps max out at about 78 at the top.. I do need a little heat from the fixture, but in the summer will be switching to a jungle dawn LED, .. as a possible less heat from the ligting option may be needed.. going to run a experiment tank with a LED fixure..
