140 gal paludarium

Post by hx » Sun Jun 28, 2015 2:38 pm

Hi there.

My new paludarium with DIY rock and DIY root system is waiting for the submersed planting to happen.

I'm also trying to figure out what to house in this one.

A quick video at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_CcOjQyni2o

Thanks for looking!

Another great paludarium, hx. I remember your previous 1, that was amazing.

A club friend keeps killifish in his, just a thought.

Thanks, NancyD.
Killies would fit the bill for sure. Along with hillstreamers. Gotta look into their availability around these quarters.

Thanks for your feedback.

The first inhabitants are in. I think they are enjoying it there:
