Yeah they're not aaasss skittish, but they're still not great...
Do you think putting a little plant or two in there would help with oxygenation?

Have put a filter in, but I had to rearrange EVERYTHING so the water side is so murky you can't even see through it. Will wait for it to settle before I turn the filter on, and I certainly hope it works.. Lid is being made as we speak..

I'd say they would eat the plants TBH.

Yeah I figured that too, so I didn't buy any plants. The filter output is angled so it disturbs the surface a little, thereby aerating the water..

What does anyone know about anaerobic bacteria in the waterlogged sand..?

What do you want to know? I'm a microbiology major (though environmental is not my forte).

Will the sand I have in the water filled part develop harmful anaerobes once the oxygen supply is depleted?
