ok I have had a reef tank for 7 years now and I worked at my lfs for a year so I thought I would try a paludarium. and put some freshwater fish in the water part. I divided the tank in half with great stuff foam and covered it with 100% silicon. after I got all of the done I put in black sand, some drift wood, I have a a cascade 170 filter on one side and I cut a hole in the great stuff and put another pump there with a filter sponge in the hole as well. well I tried ghost feeding my tank for a week and I tested my water and nothing well I got 3 zebra danios they lasted about one day. so I left them in there for a week took out what was left of them and put 3 more in they lasted about 4 or 5 days left them in there for a day or two then did a little water change. I than got a small cichlid and I lived about 6 days. well I found out that my mom wasn't feeding the fish while I was at college. so I came back home last weekend and got 3 long fin danios and my mom has been feeding them everyday now and two of them have died. I have some algae growing and im afraid to get an algae eater because I don't want it to die. also the water volume is 10-15 gallons. I also have some plants in there as well.
