#174: 280L Paludarium Jungle stream serenity

Comments

Very nicely done paludarium. A little more growth in the aquatic portion and tidying up of the tank would greatly improve the tank. The size and location of the ozelot sword is a bit out of place in the paludarium. Moving them back would make the tank that much better.

It definitely looks like a jungle but perhaps a bit too much so! The moss "lawn" needs to fill in.
