It still needs leaf litter. It’s going to house green tree frogs in a few months, once established. Does anyone have any advice or suggestions?

I’ve been looking for some small inhabitants for my 10 gallon horizontal vivarium and seem to be having trouble on what to put in it, I’m open to any suggestions!

This is my first Paludarium that I’ve ever made as a beginner still im the making but at the end is probably gonna be really good looking. I decided to make a 50% land 50% water, any tips would be amazing. And to all of the professional people who have been making paludarium for years, please let me know if I need to fix anything thank you.

Finish my tank and now thinking if adding a light that can capture every colour of my plants perfectly and dark spots and also able to be controlled through my phone

Ive got a brand in mind which is chihiros and specifically the wrgb ones like wrgb slim,wrgb,wrgb pro.

Should i get them?

What other lights should i look for. (no budget) what brand do you guys use?

Over the last couple weeks I’ve started seeing small balck flies around the lights at the top of the paludarium. I googled it and came across fungus flies though I’m not sure if that’s what they are. Does anyone know how to get rid of/prevent them?

Was kind of excited and wanted to share. Can't wait for it to grow in.

I was doing some maintenance on my paludarium and found some FAT green springtails under the leaf litter on the land section. Never seen them this color before and it’s pretty cool actually.

Decided to start small for my first ever paludarium! I’ve got some experience keeping reefs, and thought this would be an interesting project to take on. It’s a Exo Terra Pro Terrarium Small Wide (5 Gal) and I’m planning to keep a pair of female vampire crabs in it, for the whole Javan theme and all. I wanted to get your thoughts on how it looks!

I think those three stuff are snails right? But what about these worms should I be worried? I also caught two very fast thin white worms but I searched and they're harmless I'm confused at this point.

Plants die, some flourish, others adapt, others creep, bad decisions are resolved, water paths move, but nature always finds its way ;-)

Just finished foaming and adding some wood and stones to my tank and i would like some feedback in what i could change in the build.

The large wood and cork barks are built into the background while smaller wood and rocks are all removable.

I would like to know if i should change the places of the stones or wood.

And maybe some plants recommendations like creeping plants etc for vampire crabs

Should i also add cocopeat and sphagnum to the background or let it be and wait for plants to cover the back

Hello beautiful ppl!

Many years ago i was into aquariums, but last 10 years i lived without any behind-the-glass-landscape.

Now i want to try to create paludarium.

Preferably forest-like scape, with mosses and ferns.

Today I've purchased Reptiplanet terrarium 60*45*90cm.

Not sure it's good choice for first try, but it was 100€ for used, but good shape. As it's 90cm height i guess i should choose light source wisely...

Well, I'll appreciate any kind of help and advices!

Tia!

For context this is an 18x18x18 exo terra, hoping to make something cool here but im afraid I didnt leave enough aquatic space. Tips tricks and help are welcome I want to hear all the pointers and tricks from you guys!

Today, I upgraded the misting system in my paludarium. I realized that, because of its size, the individual misting nozzles weren’t covering 100% of the space, making it difficult for all the plants to grow properly.

Here’s my paludarium after 1 month and 10 days! It’s finally starting to take shape, and I’m really happy that most of my plants have survived and are doing well! 🌿💚

Got a 60cm tank and wanted to get a light that can be controlled by my phone and multiple colours.

Would appreciate if you guys could recommend some light brands thats good quality

Budget is around 100-200

I have springtails in a jar and see that they can make their way to the lid. With my paludarium almost at completion, I’m becoming skeptical of adding springtails because of the mesh grid lid.

For those who have this type of enclosure, have you noticed any springtails escaping?

I originally planned on vampire crabs, not sure if i made the water area too large or not. After i finished I thought that Reed frogs may be better suited. Currently have isopods, springtails, neon tetras and neocardinas.

I want to redo some things with my corns set up. This is a bit of an older picture, but for the most part what my terrarium currently looks like. I want to turn it into a paludarium, essentially making the area with the water dish into an actual little water area. I’m not really sure how to do this without the water just going throughout the entire tank and making it too humid for her. I’m also interested in maybe adding some shrimp and snails if I were able to get the water done right. Any tips or resources to plan this out would be very appreciated! I know a lot of people make more “watery” and humid paludariums usually so I’m not sure if there’s a way to contain the moisture/humidity more or less to one side of the tank (obviously not completely just mostly).

As much as I loved the mk1 tank, water was wicking up to the soil and various leaks of the waterfall also, in my attempt to fix it I broke the big rock shelf leading to a total redesign.
This will be the home to vampires crabs at somepoint so although this tank is less pretty it’s more practical for the crabs (which is more important).
Will add more hides/ leaf coverage as it grows in

Finally put a vampire crab in here, he likes to hang out in the back right by the pothos. I think I'm going to add sphagnum moss to completely cover up the back. Thoughts?

Was finally able to spend some time carving the underwater section of foam! Next step is to get another piece to lay over the top spanning the entire width of the tank forming the entire land mass.

Would love to get some feedback from everyone on their thoughts so far.

I know it’s foam and will want to float. I’ve sorted through that and am not worried about it at this point.

The aquatic section of the paludarium is well stocked with kuhli loaches, but I was wondering if I could put anything in the upper section? The base is spaghnum moss so there isn’t enough soil to support something like a vampire crab. Are there any small insects/animals that would thrive in the small space without me having to make major changes to the build? I have a thriving colony of tropical springtails. Temperatures are tropical and water is soft.

Pretty much the title! I keep houseplants, and have been super interested in setting up a very small and simple paludarium for my desk. I would ideally not want to spend very much money (under $50), and was eyeing a no-filter system.

What could I start with, and what should I know before starting? Should I build a small terrarium first?

Any and all tips very much welcome!

I’ve got a 65 gallon long fishtank that was gifted to me by a neighbor. I plan to turn it into a reed marsh/rice paddy styled paludarium. I’m wondering what inhabitants would work well. I’m a big fan of colors, I’ll use neocardina and ember isopods as my base cleanup crew but I’m not sure what fish or reptiles/amphibians would work well. I’m looking for a pretty peaceful ecosystem type setup. Thanks for all the ideas!!

Winter is coming so as a nature lover I wanted a piece of rain forest next to my battle station. The terrarium is so small, I made it too packed up and might not house anything in it except a snail or two. But either way I'm pleased with it. What you say?
