And then some waterlife!

Ladigesia roloffi (sorry for the picture quality):

Eutropellius debauwi (still very shy):

Atyopsis moluccensis:

Rhinogobius sp. (just introduced here and still very pale) and Gastromyzon spp.

Absolutely lovely setup! I especially like the picture of the underside of the frog through the glass. Excellent stuff!

Absolutely stunning. It looks totally natural..

Do you have a photo of the whole setup?

starsplitter7 · Post by **starsplitter7** » Mon Oct 04, 2010 11:17 am

That is a great idea. Could you send a picture of the entire set-up?

Thanks you all for the compliments!

I include a shot of the tank in its entirety. The distortion is due to the photo-stitching procedure!

Thanks! It is in our house indeed, in a spare room that I have been using for work until recently (no longer working much at home).

How do you deal with the excess humidity? Exhaust fan? Dehumidifier??

wimvanvelzen · Post by **wimvanvelzen** » Tue Oct 05, 2010 3:18 pm

The spare room is actually more like a garage on the North side of the house. Without any measures the humidity in the room would rise above 85% (depending on the humidity outside), but one or two small bathroom fans transport the humid air from inside the room to outside the room; fresh air from the house is flowing into the room.

I hope I make it clear - as a non-native speaker I am hesitating to use the word sucking here

Now that is something else!

What an absolutely incredible set up.

Thank you so much for sharing your pics.
