Inadequate development of plants in the water area.
— Karen Randall
An impressive display with a brilliant sense of flow. The hardscape alone is incredibly dynamic speaking to the craft of the creator. Healthy moss and emersed species show a quality of care this paludarium was created with.
The display flows from tall peaks completely filling the frame plunging down into dark waters that provide an unfortunately sparse submerged portion. While transitional flow from the land to the water is present the flora that inhabits the submerged region is simply sparse and in questionable health.
The addition of orange background lighting to the submerged portion adds visual intrigue but fights with the bright purple of the terrestrial background drawing more of the viewers attention.
The long-term viability of the carnivores you've selected is questionable as overwintering would likely require removal from the paludarium.
In all this paludarium is beautiful. I commend your great skill in developing hardscape and growing emergent and terrestrial species. Well done.
