Today i added some LIVE Anacharis and Hornwaort plants to the tank :) the Anacharis didn't work out so i told them to send me some more Hornwort instead :) im still debating on wether i should get that or a moss ball (i get to chose and i have til monday to decide).

It is just a live plant that makes a great substrate and also keeps the water quality good and prevents algae growth.

*update* i have lots of new pics to post. Should i keep them here or make a new topic?

I would just post them here. Also moss balls make great plants to oxygenate the water fast I got a musk turtle from someone and there jaws look MEEEEEAAAANNNNN. def would not want to be bot by one even a small one. They look like snapping turtles jaws
