Awesome fish. Peaceful and school very well.

Just a quick update that the Paludarium is doing great!! Below is the current inhabitants list: Above Water: Red Claw Crabs In water: 6 Harlequin Rasboras, 4 Neon Tetras, 2 Panda Cory's, 2 Freshwater Tiny Frogs, 5 Cherry Shrimp 2 Amano Shrimp New Pictures of growth to come.

I also recorded video on the process in which I will upload to YouTube once I put it all together to help everyone out! Stay posted.

Will do! I will need to compile the list and post it. Some of it was harvested from my local area and some was purchased at a local greenhouse. Lots of different types of moss where I live.

Everything is doing okay so far, but I am planning on buying a mistking setup to keep the humidity up since it has no top.

Thanks for following along so far! Now to focus on the underwater plants. More updates to come. :thanks:

Thank you so much! I had a blast creating it.

Thank you!! For my first attempt I will take it for sure.

Here we go! Got the setup up and running. What do you guys think? I am happy with how it has turned out so far. Not done for sure, but at least there is water running.

So I went and looked at stands and WOW they were expensive. So I decided to build one. Here is what I designed and went with.

Thank you! Its really starting to come together now!

Thank you for following along! I hope you enjoy the ride :)

Thanks Jigger I really appreciate it. Ive put a lot of design time and work into this so hoping it turns into something amazing.

The next step is to begin making the land area more realistic looking. I spread 100% silicone all over the great stuff foam and smoothed it out and then added the coco fiber on top and pressed it in. After that it was the fun part. I started planted the above water plants. I wanted...

To form the waterfall height I used insulation styrofoam to be the skeleton if you will for the great stuff pond foam. This allowed me to get height and the shape that I was looking for. Next I would apply the Great Stuff pond foam (Fish Safe) to form the waterfall and the above...

Step 1 - Building the elevated landscape and waterfalls So my vision is two have two islands of sorts with two separated waterfalls that have a little different feel from each other. One island will have access to the water for the crabs and I may include a natural bridge for them to cross...
