Inhabitants: Given the high cost of plants in my city/province, I decided to make this one a plant harvesting tank only.  I believe there may be some snails in the tank(possibly Malaysian Trumpet), but I have left them alone for now because they have left my plants alone.  Hopefully, they won't replicate out of control.
