Hello,

In the land area I have bromeilas ans some kind of moss I found in the backyard and under the water I have anubia,cryptocorynes, java moss and hygrophila polysperma (just floting).

hello guys, it's been a long time since I upload pic from my paludarium, here are more pics and something amazin I found today when I was doing water changes .
My toads are fine well the count now is four, my two favorites die , they manage to scape every time we have rain here.

Today I found a mushroom growing in one side of the paludarium , I'm happy with that but at the same time I'm a little worry that it could be dangerous for my toads

Hello,

i`m sorry for my abberant opinion, but for me your tank is no Paludarium.
It is more an Aquarium with a small Island.

In my association a Paludarium is more like on the attached Photo.

Greetings Ingo V.

1/4 of tank is SMALL island? Paludarium is swamp-vivarium. Jausi's tank (very nice!) IMO is "more pallus" than terrarium with aquarium instead of bottom that you presented Of course everybody, as petro said, can have own opinion and imagination of any meaning.

Ingo: thanks for your comments the pic you share is great and indeed that is a impresive paludarium, I think paludarium is the mix between a aquarium and a terranium and theres is many ways to represent the idea (like PETRO said), I have to build a canopy to increase the hight of the tank so the bromeliads can grow, but I 'm not desided yet if I should use glass or plexiglass, thanks again for you comments.

Petro: Thank you for comments also, I do like my paludarium looks like and I think my toads love it too.

Yahilles: Thank you for ypur comments too.

If any one has any idea or where to get custom canopy, pls let me know

 

[Yahilles]

I think that plexiglass will be better- glass only at front. Plexi is more light and presents less problems with connecting it with other elements.
