Elements
Inert
Clear:
"Air" element, used to erase things.
Glass:
Lets in light, biologically inert.
Sand:
Important nutrient vector for plants. Grass must grow in this.
Stone:
Draw archways and castle. Aquascaping!
Wood:
Driftwood adds natural decorative flare and provides a place for fish to hide. It also blocks light.
Water:
A classic. Doesn't get better than this.
Autotrophs
Algae:
Photosynthesizes sunlight & carbon dioxide to produce nutrients and oxygen. Life of the party!
Grass:
Grows into eel grass, which is a source of food and oxygen. Needs to pull nitrogen from sand in order to grow.
Herbivores
Daphnia:
Also know as water fleas, these freshwater zooplankton are a key species in the ecosystem. They feed on algae, and lay eggs which can lay dormant for a long time! More active at night.
Carnivores
Fish:
They feed mostly on daphnia but will also eat on the biofilm that grows on plants. I can't tell what they're thinking.
Goldfish:
Loyal but simple minded. Breathes oxygen
Decomposers
Bacteria:
Aerobically breaks down waste into nitrogen. Decomposers are very important parts to a functioning ecosystem. Blows bubbles when happy.
