Thank you Goldielocke :D
Mortimer is 9". The females are bigger and can reach a foot. He grew pretty quickly!

Thanks :)
Anyone can grow aquatic plants, it's just you have to make sure you balance your supplements and have sufficient light. It doesn't take talent or magic. Unicorns can't grow aquatic plants for wa\rus.
It's not as complicated as a reef tank I'm sure.
