do a fresh start to show some appreciation to those surviving plants. Thanks for they still keep alive in such unmanned condition.
Went into fully wild life style. "Life will find it way" - in the "Jurassic Park" movie.
Because I temporary shift my attentions to other hobby.
No snails, not even one. Extinct, I guess. Or because of those Pencil fish.
Green no more, at least beneath the water.This is one amazing tank!! Love the layout and greens!!

wow, nasty BGA
you mean those pencil fish is still in there.....
How do your filter look like?
i mean internally...
Film Algae, Long Hairy Algae which it just look like greenish turbulence.
Few Pencil fish left, other fishes all gone. The filter no clogged or anything, but having some block at the inlet side that always causing some irritating noise sometime, that also make me alert to clear it out before it harm the Iwaki pumps (by run partly dried).
With your high skill level, I'm pretty sure you will bounce back from this Eco disaster dude. Looking forward to the makeover!!
Spreading some of the plants to the mini fountain. Err! As to secure the specimen from eccentric extinct one day.
That's cool but are you using just sand or you got difference layer of soil and substrate?
That's cool but are you using just sand or you got difference layer of soil and substrate? I am using shrimp soil but it seems like my hc keep on floating up
I have to give away these as once ever in my top waiting lists and also my dream fish, painfully due to their plant destructive all day unstoppable nibbling behavior. I ever keep this fish 30 years ago I know they could even nipped the Penn-plax's plastic plants while food supply were shortage. So I give it a chance now, no harm what? I don't know it will end out this serious that have eventually force me into choosing either lively aquatic plant or the "make me crazy" fish.
Some of my history plants are still remaining inside the tank while during a long period of coolest idleness, regarding this I have to thanks for the oversize 22 liters filter, overkill 1/3 HP chiller and almost discontinue CO2 supply. And thus this make me thinking of a strong come back to this aqua-planting hobby.....again....that say in this current week? but all and all depend on how aggressive my ambitious to this tank project. And further hopefully I can keep up my warming heart to this. And not ever ever torture them again....

Yup! whack, exactly right! because they work hard in nipping so leave no decent leeway for the plants to thrive, normally they prefer only soft plants but not something like the Cory plants. Even I have try to fill their stomach with some alternative food like earth worm, but they still enjoying nipping plants. What to do? this their nature habits and characteristics after all .
They nibble on BBA too.. if I remember correctly

The shape looks like coral pencil fish. My coral purple also like to nip on my foreground plants
Nice photography!
