A place to share and discuss ideas for paludarium habitats, plant choices, general care and maintenance, with or without critters!
/r/paludarium
so i recently built a paludarium (120 Liters) with about 20% water part + a flowing river.
Now i cant decide which animals to add... my first thought was vampire crabs, but they dont really excite me anymore...
second thought was crocodile skink, but ive read that they are very shy etc.
i need some inspiration, something thats kinda exotic and active at daytime
I have a18x18x24 Hexagon tank for a Green Anole and was wondering if I should modify it to be a paludarium for guppies and a Green Anole.
Looking into making my first paludarium and I've become obsessed with milk frogs recently. I was wondering if anyone has any good recommendations and/or experiences with a milk frog enclosure that has a water feature with fish.
If this is not the right place, please point me in a good direction!
I have 3 blue phase tree frogs, and their housing is ay too small. I think it's a 12x18 hex or 12x24. Either way, I feel like they are in prison and it's breaking my heart. I want to get something bigger but every tank I see is square or rectangle and just ugly to put where my wife can see it. I want something magical that flows in the room, has multiple levels, and id really really like a water portion. Ive seen some paludariums and then I feel for the fish slightly.
I feel like mr negative I know. But here's where im going and tell me if this just isnt possible.
I want to make a floating tank ( no stand ), and now let me describe my dream tank.
I want it to be a squared U shape. The left side I want smaller than the right. So left side would have a water fall on the back wall which goes into a pond which then cascades down into a few gallons of water which then shores up to the right side of the U which I want slightly taller, which will house the mountain / cave / trees. In the center, I want to add floating shelves for books. I think the details belong this are moot, such as lighting etc, so I'll stop here.
I have no issues creating this on my own, but im stuck. Is this feasible? Have you seen anything like this, id rather buy if available. Do you see any issues for the live stock.
Can I house anything with my tree frogs that wont eat one another? Fish stock im not too concerned about, there isnt much choice anyway.
Well, be nice please. Im just excited.
My first paludarium!! Rainforest style.
Not finished yet, but already starting to take shape.
Ideas from the experts here regarding what to add (plants and animals to the terrestrial & aquatic sections, as well as any other ideas) - will be appreciated.
Thanks!
I consider using RO water in a paludarium, both for the aquatic section (which is partly changed every week or two) and for the misting system that sprays on the plants and the land section. Should I add minerals and/or something else to the water (of the aquatic part and/or the water used by themisting system)? Anything else that I should take into account or be aware of?
