The tank doesn't look much like the one on the picture after I've added another 3 roots, and there are plenty of caves for them in botrh sides of the tank, but can't really get another picture taken atm. My light is broken, and I really don't have time to get it fixed. So At the moment I have a little desk lamp as my light.
And I've had to move the cryptocrynes over to the side of the tank, which has caused most of them to start adapting to the new environment (cryptocryne disease). And since they're simply starting to annoy me I'll take them out once I find some suitable leaves. So that'll probably create a lot more caves.
My biggest concern so far is the food I'm using. I've only got frozen food for them. I'm trying to get a hold of a shop that sells a lot of different live foods, as I'd really like to get a Daphnia culture up and going. I don't know what else would be suitable. They're really hard to feed actually. The only one I actually see eating is the subdominant male. The dominant male and the female are just nipping to some of the mosses and driftwood pieces once in a while.
Anyway... My female has definitely become darker in her coloration, but I highly doubt they'll be breeding in the water they're in now. pH 6.5, conductivity 243µS , temp. 27C (about 80.6F I believe). But that's why I've bought an RO-kit. Just gotta get it up and running now. Haven't had much time to set it up, and my parents aren't that glad about it.
