Ok so this week has been full of ups and downs. On the downside most of our fish have died, with the exception of one, this we think for the most part is probably starvation (as if it was lack of well oxygenated water pr something else it too should have died). We have left one part of one of the smaller fishes in the lower chamber, in hopes that in may revert to cannibalism.
So on to the good news: our plant is very much alive and thriving. Over the last few days we have seen amazing amount of root growth. This may be from a lack of moisture and the plant burrowing its roots deeper into the soil in search of this. We have also not introduced any more water into the environment as we have seen moisture build up within the container.
Also, a moth has appeared in out terrestrial chamber. We believe that its possible that moth eggs were already on their. As there is currently no insects in the chamber, if we don't introduce any, it will die.
