We found it dead on the carpet – it must have jumped out while one of the glass panels was off (it stayed off for a fair while). I had seen it lying there a few hours previously, but thought that it was just a leaf; it wasn’t moving then, so I couldn’t have saved it anyway. So that’s a bit sad; should make me pretty careful in the future.

Somehow our ammonia and nitrites are both zero – I’m not sure how this can be; maybe we’re doing the tests wrong, because I don’t see how it can be perfect so early. pH is at 6.6.

The cloaches just rip into some of our plants – pulling the stems to bits. And the angels like the feathery plant a bit too much!
