I was ''surfing'' last week , and I came upon your entire journal from the start of your trial smaller setup to this magnificent piece of jungle in your house. I was blown away ! What an awesome job you did , and wow , you certainly dream BIG , and seems like you not only had the dream, you actually did it ...
you should be proud ...not many can say they did something like this in their house , in their lifetime ! I'm sure your inhabitants must be very happy and feel truly ''at home'' .
Great job

Whow, thank you all for the kind words. Yes, I have to admit I am rather proud
But even more moved by the beauty and in some fraility of all those small plants and animals.
And the room acts as some sort of retreat for the family members after a busy day!

Nothing special to tell, apart from the arrival of a beautiful new inhabitant!
Since a couple of weeks I have 3.3 Nomoramphus liemi, a half beak fish from the
fast waters of Sulawesi.
Males are evidently smaller and like to swim just behind and below the females:
This species loves to 'hang' in the flow, near cover and just below the water
surface:
More waterlife:
Pogomeston helferi, emers:
More emers grow:
Begonia schultzei hanging:
Two weeks later:
Mannophryne trinitatis
The area around the waterfall on the left handside grows nicely:
