Seen on my morning ride - These 2 houses are directly across from each other. Historical note: No one was really looting during the Altadena fires. The house with the scary sign has 3 of them posted months after. I wonder which house is more scared

Day 42: slowly added 6x corydoras, a tiny school (6) of Norman’s lampeye killifish, 4x nerite snails. The corys are a laugh riot. The lampeyes are super timid and like hanging out in the aerial roots. Snails just snail

Day 28: introducing Mr. Hitchhiker. They first appeared as a tiny 1mm fry about a week after planting. Must have come along as an egg on one of the plants. No idea what species they are. The N-cycle has finally kicked in.
