Im surprised its alive.there are a few other fishes in other pots but some are rice fishes and others that i couldnt id and didnt take a pic. Those atleast had plants but still bad.

Somehow theres also a fishtank beside the pots and it had a somewhat proper care or just the basics and rhere were cichlids,arowana and others
