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

Awesome tank! With all of the top growth, you could probably get away with little to none submerged plants. It looks great as is.

Your Paludarium looks wonderful.

Please share which all the plants are!

Good luck with the plants. They can be fussy.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Just a word of warning Amanos can be escape artists so with no lid keep you may want to keep an eye on them

[Autumnsky]

Looking forward to see the update /pics!

Crabs can be good climbers too!

And a caution, if the African Dwarf "tiny" Frogs start getting bigger / over a couple inches, you may have their larger cousin the African Clawed frog which can eat EVERYTHING! Just a heads up, lots of places do not know which kind of frogs they sell, and they look very similar when very small.
