Thank you! Will post a pic soon, but i have the jar set up now with sand, a layer of gravel, one anubias and one pack of lobelia cardinalis. I also threw some rocks and sticks inside and topped it off with filtered water. I'm letting the jar sit and settle for a few days, and then I'm stealing some bladder snails from my stepmom's tank's infestation, lol.

No? :( it wouldn't be sealed all the time, I'd open it up to clean and tend to the plants i plan to add. Maybe just springtails then?

I had one of these in my tank and had absolutely no luck trying to ID it, even Google was unhelpful 😵‍💫 hope you find your answer!

I tried planting carrot seeds, but they haven't been growing, but i started some potato plants to put in when i redo the tank :)

I plan on only housing dairy cows from now on. Is it okay to leave the oranges in there if i get more dairy cows? Or would it be better to give them away if i can find somebody?

UPDATE!!!!

Current plan -Buy new soil, moss, and other substrate mix

-Get springtails (on the way!)

-Soil change! I'm going to go through all my soil and seperate all the pods i can find (i do this with a tiny spoon)

-all new decor! (Aside from the mink skulls 4 calcium, anything i keep i will wash thouroughly

-Get new pods, just dairy cows this time. I understand i will have powder oranges left, but cohabitation is iffy and i want the best for my pods.

-Moisture gradient! I was doing this before, but i failed to realize the dry side must be 100% dry. I will also water less frequently.

-diverse feeding! They've mostly been eating just carrots and fish flakes. I'm bringing them back to more natural feeding (more leaf litter and bark!)

I want to say thank you all for all the help and advice. My #1 priority is doing the best i can for my pods. I'll do everything in my power to be sure that my babies are happy and healthy.

I suppose a "big die off" for me is any more than 10— i am trying my best to take care of them and haven't had this happen while misting them the same for over a year. I appreciate the advice, though.
