For now only around 20 freshwater isopods, 4 marimo moss ball, and some floating limbobiums. I will add java moss and java fern this week normally. Any advice is welcome. I added some paddy rice to start micro organism development, there is some driftwood, and a carrot piece that I’ll remove once all plants are here. The bottom layer is aquasoil with some black sand on top. I wanted to add some alder fruits, but they tinted the water yellow so I feared I was ruining the water and removed them.

maybe keep the lid off for the first few weeks or at least air it every so often.
Ime isopods would require additional feedings in this volume.
I highly recommend replacing the carrot with dry leaves (reeds/poplar/oak).
Moss is a good choice as its more edible than marimo for critters.
Marimo wouldnt like acidic blackwater, but you can try boiling the alder cones to get rid of most tannins.
