This jar has Rotala indica growing under the water, and a "lucky bamboo" (which, as I have mentioned in a previous post, is not really bamboo, but rather a member of the dracaena family) growing out the top. There is also a small amount of hair algae and some brown algae (presumably diatoms) on the glass. The only animals are some bladder snails (and perhaps some micro-fauna like ostracods, but IDK if there are any in there TBH). The jar has been going for about a year. I feed the snails a tiny amount of high-nutrition food and change roughly 20% of the water once a week. You can ignore the small jar on the right in the first picture – it's just housing some sad-looking rotalas. No snails. I was using that little jar as something of an ostracod jar, but their population seems to have crashed. Not sure why.
