Six days after planting, the first riders are their appearance: algae and a small snail.
A priori, it is filamentous algae. They appeared in one day!
Algae are common during the first months following the initiation of an aquarium, until the balance is carried. Second, their presence is generally limited, except imbalance.
was nice to know, that record a hit! It's not really nice ... And yet this is not the worst!
Parts of the root, seaweed invading the Alternanthera reineckii roseafolia''.''

I try to remove them tomorrow. I'll try before more info on these algae.
As for the snail, it is very small, very cute, rather than just under the rosy light. I'll wait for him to grow up a bit before identification. Snails have their advantages and disadvantages. But their monitoring can provide valuable information on the status of the tray.
In any case, the aquarist must remember that algae and snails are natural. It is normal that they appear. In contrast, excessive proliferation is a bad sign.
During that time, it grows! In six days the difference is significant, particularly for Heteranthera zosterifolia the Cabomba caroliniana (2nd and 3rd in the bottom left) and Bacopa australis (at the intersection of roots). Even comparing it to the photo three days ago, there really growth.

I'm still waiting for the rising power of nitrite introduce my first fish. Surely Corydoras aeneus and hemigrammus bleheri (red nose).
