Apart from only now finding one of the surprise 'Malaysian Twist Snails' (maybe I've crushed one - I moved an ornament around where they were seen), the rest of the tank is settling in.
Still no ammonia forming - snails aren't doing their job of poluting the water! A few plants are showing a bit of decay - so I've increased the lighting to 3 hours per day (will be a slow weekly increase).
The Yamato shrimps are hiding and it took most of the night to confirm that there were still 2 alive in there! The Gold Apple Snails are equally unadventurous, and hiding around the back. Made the mistake of switching the room light on in the evening and they both virtually ran to the back of the tank!
Dropped some food in and the shrimps went mad! One did eventually settle onto the filter and appear to give that a good grooming. That one seems to be slightly more aggressive than it's hungrier counterpart.
Interesting to watch both Green Apple Snails climb to the top of the tank (quite quickly) together. There are also a few other small snails about - how many were on that first batch of plants?
