#39: 96L Paludarium Frog World

Olga Antopitski Viña del Mar, Chile

Comments

This paludarium seems to have been recently setup because the plant growth above the water isn't especially dense or lush. Furthermore the underwater portion does not seem to have any plants at all. Try adding some aquatic plants to add some greenery and interest to the submerged portion. I am not sure how well the fiddler crabs will do in this freshwater setup in the long run.

Oh! I love this tank! Even though there is not much plant material in the water section it is beautifully done and really does look like a tree growing right out of the edge of a small pool. Great job!
