Second video of my 'growing carpet plants' series.
The seeds have all grown to nice, tiny plants. Now it's time to make them aquatic.
I got the seeds from a seller in China, there shall be seeds of at least Hemianthus callitrichoides and Glossostigma elatinoides included, probably it's a mix of a few different plants.
I hope they won't grow too high...
We will see, I will regularly upload updates on this tank.
Within the next days I'll add the first few Daphnia and shrimps. In about two weeks my Japanese swordtail newts, Cynops ensicauda ensicauda, can move in.
Zweiter Teil meiner 'growing carpet plants'-Reihe.
Mittlerweile sind alle Samen zu schönen, kleinen Pflänzchen herangewachsen. Jetzt wird es Zeit sie an den aquatischen Lebensraum zu gewöhnen.
Die Samen stammen von einem Händler aus China, es sollen unter anderem Hemianthus callitrichoides und Glossostigma elatinoides enthalten sein. Wahrscheinlich ist es ein Mix mehrerer Pflanzenarten. Hauptsache sie wachsen nicht zu hoch...
Ich werde regelmäßig Updates zu diesem Aquarium hochladen, damit man den Prozess des Wachstums gut nachvollziehen kann.
In den nächsten Tagen werden die ersten Daphnien und Garnelen, einziehen, in etwa zwei Wochen dann meine Schwertschwanzmolche, Cynops ensicauda ensicauda.

![Dice Snake Underwater Feeding (Natrix tessellata)
Its been quite a while since I posted my last video.. So I decided Ill start with sharing a really cool feeding video with you, an underwater feeding of dice snakes. :) I hope youll enjoy it!
The food items in this video are frozen smelts, powdered with supplements containing vitamin b. Normally the snakes are fed on land so the powder wont get rinsed off.
General Information on Dice Snakes:
The dice snake (Natrix tessellata) is a Eurasian nonvenomous snake belonging to the family Colubridae, subfamily Natricinae. It is also called water snake.
Females are bigger than males. Their typical size is 1.0–1.3 m (39–51 in) long. Their color may vary from greyish green to brownish or almost black, with dark spots on the back. The belly is sometimes vividly coloured in yellow or orange, with black spots, very similar to dice, hence the name.
Living mainly near rivers, streams and lakes, it frequently feeds on fish. Sometimes, it feeds also on amphibians such as frogs, toads, and tadpoles.
Classified as nonvenomous, N. tessellata produces a potent antihemorrhagin in its serum[4] and has been said to produce a neurotoxin through a gland in its mouth.[5] As a defence, it spreads a very bad-smelling secretion from its cloaca. Another defence mechanism is thanatosis, playing dead.
During the mating season (March–May), they congregate in large groups. Egg-laying is usually in July, and one clutch consists of 10–30 eggs. The young snakes hatch in early September.
Dice snakes hibernate from October to April in dry holes near the water.
