Default My Recently Redone 10G Paludarium

Hey, I just finished putting together this guy for my two FBTs. I have a Tom filter under the gravel near top left corner of the water area. The plant on the top is a spider plant and the lower is creeping jenny. I wanted to make sure those are suitable choices for a Palu holding these toads? Also, I've been wanting to add a water plant to help keep the water cleaner and provide a hiding spot in the water for the toads, what would be a suitable choice? I was thinking Water Hyacinth, Water Lettuce, or even Duck Weed. What would you guys suggest? Also, where would I be able to get a plant like that??

Hi thats a nice set up,I suggest some moss on the land part to cover the gravel.Duckweed would look nice and natural in the water,maybe some anacharis plants.

Thanks! Yeah I have some sphagnum moss over part of it, but I would like to get some actual sheet moss stuff as the toads keep dragging it into the water. And I'll look into those plants!

i would stay away from duckweed, it sticks to the frogs and bothers them to no end... also, i would put leaf litter in the land part, looks natural, and provides hides for the frog...
