Thanks! Any help appreciated.

Pachanoi and Bridgesii seedlings together. In rocks. And water. You don’t even want to see my loph babies, it is a crime. Why do this? I need to learn the hard way, I’m incapable otherwise.

This is my setup. My newest trapper is not so pleased. Please tell me why.

I should probably use a water tray.

Repotted this little monster. I’m a noob, but I saw these and had no idea they were still commercially available. Kinda lost all sense and bought one, should’ve bought them all, this one was the best looker. The others haunted my worries, almost ruined my Sunday nap. Hope they make it.

Looks too good to be real color, will it be white next bloom? Any way to guess? Thanks!

Pic is west facing am in Midwest USA. Dappled afternoon sun, mild direct late at sundown. July.

Still needs a lot of work. I’m in US zone 5b/6a. Any pests or concerns I should have about natural predation? This is for a fall/winter sow. I’d like to use my chicken straw compost once it has aged a few more weeks. But I understand too much nitrogen won’t help the plants as they prefer more dilute nutrition. Mostly I want it as a weed preventative, or am I overthinking it?
A bit more shade here than I’d like but the location is what it is.
Thanks

Goddamn mammalians went and ate over half my seedlings but haha suckers: ya missed a duo.
You’re coming inside now, proper attempt at cultivation this time around, but I am of limited resources beyond what is around me.
Let me know of what grade of start have I given what’s left of what was a glorious beginning, humbled to what I can only be grateful for.
Indoor grow.

Found in April after heavy rains on the banks of the Des Plaines River north of Chicago. There was an intact spinal column and other skeletal remains. Very cool find.

I’ve got four little orange fish also in the tank, but I am looking into a comparable size tank mate for him if I can’t find another rope fish at my local shops. Thinking now, maybe they can order one in for me…

Video: Might want the sound off. TV is on.

Has anyone kept one of these? They’re fun to watch.

I set up my big tank today. I have these little dudes (pictured). Once I incorporate more flora, what amphibian would best feature in this arrangement? Would a toad be happy here? And finally, what other species would get along with my present company?

Part of a nice lure set gifted to me. I fly fish mostly but occasionally spinner.

I’m building up to a paludarium out of this tank I inherited. Current setup is pretty elementary. I have one real plant in it and some duck weed, several artificial crap plants and plastic stones. There are two tetras and two snails, and my little white bottom feeder fish.

Advice and opinions welcomed. I’m a novice.
