is this place still alive? hahah...
starting a paludarium now ...
already done the water system...
started moss wall already..
not thinking what plant to add?
what kind of plant can you sifu intro?
fully submerge, semi submerge or plants that tahan wet wet atmosphere also can since my tank is 4ft in size

show some picture of your tank first.
most plants that can fully submerge can grow out and become semi submerge either, it depends on what kinda setup u want to make.

what kinda animal u plan to keep inside this paludarium ?

Your answer will have to depend on what is your tank size & how your water system works. Is it open or closed tank? Post a picture for us.

tq bro...

i dunu what plant to play leh ...
first time playing palu

if not mistaken you already put moss on the wall right?
you can try java fern, anubias, moss, nana on those woods and landscape material.

as for those inside the water, you can try Cryptocoryne

actually the moss i found at my garden one .. some macam melting already dunu issit too much water but some are growing ...
you all these plant you mention actually we can find it in our surrounding right?

no, those you need to buy.
but cryptocoryne can be found in our country if you masuk swamps and waterfalls you can find alot of plants to put in your tank.

Anyone still into this?
My abandon tank lol...

Planning to keep fire belly frog or newt ..


Attached thumbnail(s)

Suitable for newt. Anyone know where can get living moss ?

what kind of moss? aquatic or terrestrial moss?
aquatic are easy to get from most fish shops or even hobbyist.
in lyn petstore section also got a few ppl selling them.

terrestrial moss, as for aquatic, i'm using java. But dries up pretty quick.

you need to mist it or use power filter to distribute water.
or you can cover the top with glass to prevent moisture from escaping.

like broken_string says, yeah, u need to mist often or cover it up.
for terrestrial, nursery is a good place to start.
other alternatives are tarantulas hobbyist since nowadays most of them are opting real live terrarium plants for their T's,
or if you feeling a bit of of adventurous,
star moss can be found nearby small streams and waterfall or garden moss can be found in your own garden and nearby drain

Thanks for the heads up. star moss at the nearby stream or waterfall is a good start

Hi all..

It's good that i found this thread.. have been into this half land-half water mini enviro for a looong time.. its only recently i discovered that they were called paludarium + other rium rium.. so far i've only known and had experience maintaining aquariums

I've got myself a new 4ft aquarium for my small fishes and baby turtles.. i think i'm going to turn it into a paludarium.. hope to get some good infos from here

So professional decoration for your fish tank. Thanks for share!

Just realized there was such a thread in this forum. I plan to build my own vivarium. Let's see if we can make this thread alive again.

dont stop this thread.. love looking at rium rium too
