This is Shelly the snail patrolling his new tank. He gets fed one catfish pellet occasionally. Don't want to give him swim bladder problems  |

| My micro tank. Its a 10cm cube so 1 litre exactly. Has a few bits of grass and a couple of java fern plantlets. Hope they will grow okay. Lit by a desk lamp. Also has a snail called Shelly. |

Heres the our entry.
Thought I'd photo it beside my coffee cup for size compparison.
It's made using stuff scavenged from my community tank. Not sure what the plant is though  .
With stones collected and washed by the kids(their addition to the tank).
Also in there is a couple of MTS somewhere  .
Not as micro as everyone else it would seem though . |
