"Beautiful, impressive paludarium which seems much larger than it actually is through the use of small sized inhabitants and fine-leaved plants. Furthermore, you have just the right amount of growth occurring underwater as well. Well done! " ---Carlos Sanchez

"Beautiful lush entry with nice growth below the water line as well as above. Nice choice of fish for this setting as well. The tank looks much bigger than it is. Great job!" ---Karen Randall

"A well done paludarium . Good use of space. Hard to believe this is only 7 gallons ." ---Mike Senske
