• 2x Echinodorus Red Devil
• 1x Java Fern(sourced from my giant Java in my living room tank)

Thank you!! I really just wanted Mom to have a nice little tank for her to enjoy. Fish have acclimated incredibly well and seem to be very comfortable with their new home. 🙂

Shrimp are a pretty good choice for a newbies tank. My dad has a little shrimp tank on his desk in his office and he says that he spends most of his phone calls staring at it. 😏

Yea since I added the little moss island in the middle along with the shrimp hotel beside it, they really congregate there. She's very happy with the fish additions as well. The two sunset honey gourami are super personable and very interactive. 

She also has a small cube on her desk that houses her first fish, Snickerdoodle...a maroon and white half moon betta. He's pretty awesome and my Mom's lil buddy.
