Did some trimming for Confetti's tank! Every two months or so I start randomly hating this fish tank and then realize it's because the crypts have overgrown and started blocking off all the light, so I trim them back and suddenly love it again. C'est la vie.

The crypt parva are probably going to get overrun by the monte carlo, which of course started sending out runners as soon as I gave up on it ever re-carpeting, so one way or another my carpeting goals will be achieved. I'm also once again attempting to grow some S. repens because I had exactly one (1) wild success with it and I loved it so much that I will approach this stupid, melt-prone little plant like Sisyphus with his boulder. Time will tell.

Also at some point most of my java fern kicked the bucket, so I untangled the rhizome from crypt hell and moved it somewhere less shadowed in the hopes that it will bush out over on that upper left side by the heater.

Overall, happy with how things are going!

updated proof for my print - the one on the left is way darker in person and you can't make anything out unless you're up close

i'm a little sad to lose the blue tones on the right, but it looks great and eyecatching from across the room!

get this 8x8 print (and more) in my kofi shop! ✧.* kofi || monthly tiers・゜゜・．

So I've been working at my LFS during this pandemic since I lost my other job temporarily. We just finished remodeling our entire betta center! It holds 100 bettas and its running off of a filtered and heated sump system.
