I am not sure whether or not I'd want to do this, but I have a few very large tanks around which might suit the needs for this project. However, I will be able to make a creek-like outdoor enclosure around February, so the tank may be temporary anyway. I live in an area that has many of them, so I will be able to replicate their natural habitat quite well keeping them outdoors.
The reason I'm posting this is because I would like to know whether or not there are any specific environmental factors I should incorporate? (Other than the obvious, of course. Maybe heavy rains, low light levels, extremely high amounts of foliage, specific foliage, things that might trigger them to reproduce.) I'm just trying to collect as much knowledge as possible before jumping into anything. Also, if you think this is a generally bad idea or a morally corrupt idea, speak up. I'm not trying to create a volatile thread, but if you have a strong opinion, I want to hear it for the sake of collecting an unbiased base of knowledge on which to base my attempt.
