Forum and palu newbie here. Wanted to share my experience so far.
We have started experimenting with a paludarium setup and have ran into a minor setback. Not even sure if you would technically call this a paludarium, considering our more divided setup
Here are some photos:
We cut a sheet of acrylic, then bent it and epoxied it inside the aquarium to create a curved division. We then used silicone caulk to seal it.
The current inhabitants are: 3 White Cloud fish, 3 snails, and 12 Ghost Shrimp.
We initially wanted a firebellied toad to live among the plants, but once we had everything completed, it seemed that the tank was too shallow and that the toad could probably hop out of the top.
After around 5 hours of having it set up, a small leak must have sprung in the silicone. Water started draining into the soil half of the tank, so we have now dismantled the entire thing, besides the divider obviously.
Thought this was a good opportunity to post and see if anyone had criticism or an idea for an amphibious or land-dwelling inhabitant that cant hop out of the top. Maybe a mini turtle of some kind?
Seems like a great forum. Will be lurking here a lot more considering we are going to start a second paludarium project soon, this time with the emergent-land method.
