Setting up semi-aquatic aquariums...AKA paludariums

[mikhail]

Hi,

I want to know if any body knows how to set up a paludarium, or semi-aquatic setup, because I am having a bad time setting up one. The tank that I am going to make a paludatium, is a standard 55g tank. I am thinking maybe 50% water and 50% land. On water, I plan to keep German blue rams and tetras, or possibly angelfishes, while on land, I plan to keep red eye tree frogs, maybe between 5-8 of them. }

You might find some ideas here:

Beyond that, try Googling. I would also suggest asking some "frog people" for advice on the needs of RETF. The tank should be designed around their needs.

Hey, the tank sounds good, but in the water section that there is PLENTY of things to climb up on because RETF can easily drown. Other than that I would recomend tons of plants.
