"An impressively large biotope with very lush plant growth above the water. The underwater portion seems to have been recently done but should mature very nicely in a couple of months. The large branch portruding out of the water adds interest to this colossal piece of work. Let us see this paludarium again next year, when it will surely be spectacular! " ---Carlos Sanchez
"Wow!!! Incredible display. It's a shame that there is some clouding to the water at the time these photos were taken. " ---Karen Randall
"This is beautifull . I question the construction.Is this truly a paludarium ? Well done ." ---Mike Senske
