Maybe a juvenile Gould's Bronze? Central/NE Coast QLD <3

+bonus Spangled Drongo

Edit: Coastal-Central QLD 📍

Also what breed is he?

Despite being overdue for a slightly bigger container (I'm assuming), I'm slightly scared about what these little, white, almost-crystalline bumps are along the roots. Bit of context: water has been getting replaced 1-2 times a fortnight with a little bit of water plant-specific fertiliser, and have just recently switched to start using filtered water instead of straight tap water. Has been happily growing under a grow light for 2 months or so, and after leaving for a week I've come back to it absolutely exploding with new root growth but also a whole host of these little crystalline bumps. I'd argue it can't be too bad for it as the last week has been insane for root growth (plus a new leaf popping up), but It's also quite concerning because wtf is it???

Thanks y'all much love
