Hey.
I came back from a two week holiday. One hillstream loaches in the small tank has perished, maybe more, but haven't been able to count yet. I found shrimp munchning on one carcass, no more visual clues.
On a positive note everyone in the pond is accounted for and looking good and grown up. A couple of the new loaches had their noses rubbed white and one had a white scratch mark near the dorsal fin when I bought him. That seems to have gone now. My partner was in charge of the feeding but it still seems they were hungry as lots of my anubias leaves are literally eaten up ...The corys are also looking somehow bigger to me now, although they are adults. I am changing the water now and I will give them a good bunch of worms for dinner.

My palm looks slightly different species, or at least yours doesn't grow as bushy as mine but rather tall instead. Mine is as tall now but at first it just grows sideways/bushy, then in a few years got tall as well. My guess is you have a different type.
