New 33 gallon long (4 foot) tank with waterfall and kinon

And I get Trepobates for the nymph.

The second one is a species of Gerris. In the UK it would be Gerris lacustris but I am not sure of the species native to California (or the US).

The adult really closely matches Mesovia.

Today I can't find the long‐legged nymph in the tank. I did a big water change (about 70%) , so maybe I killed it on the refilling?

Hopefully it's still in the tank somewhere.

Cheers, Eric

This photo was taken on my new phone. I notice how the camera processing really wrinkled up the background. Not sure I like that.

This might be the first time I managed to stay at work late enough to see the daytime white lights go off and the red night lights come on, while it's also dark outside. Fun to see the Tatia intermedia pop in and out of view.

The bright glare top right is a floating egg basket connected to an egg funnel collector at the tank floor.

Cheers,
Eric

Here's an update on the 33long. I've added Anthurium and a big Calla lily, and I've removed the blue foam block that was suspending the kinon plants and restructured the plants using corks, bamboo kabob skewers and woven coconut husk:
