    2nd Vivarium Attempt...Super Mini Setup

    Have 3 small spare Genoah tanks from my wife's previous betta collection so decided to convert it to a mini vivarium. The Genoah tank comes with a nice lid too. Just nice for a vivarium setup!

    Have 3 spare tanks in total so decided to start one complete with just moss. Going to do one more with just HC and another one with crypts or downoi.

    Anyway, heres the first one with moss. Collected too little moss. Going to go downstairs and harvest more.

    Now that you've mentioned it....ya! I almost forgot these mini tanks can be stacked!

    I noticed they have those bigger Genoah tanks well....but i think they don't come cheap.

    You might want to replace the moss with nanas ...

    yes bro...especially the flat one at the centre....those rocks are the leftovers from my wife's previous setup so i dug them out and use it. I intend to redo it after my exams at the end of this month!

    Tiny DW branches (dug from those DW filled boxes at LFS) will be perfect. A water soaked wood can help maintain moist too (I believe)

    Having more fun?

    Since you have 3 of these tanks, maybe you can do up a set of design which when put together will compliment each other... ... that will be real challenging...

    Talking

    Hi Ocellatus,

    Nice setup you hv there!

    I just picked up 3 Genoah tank (same as yours) fr PolyArt, they are now going at only $6 each (original price was $8.80). Would like to try out the similar concept as yours too.

    Do you hv the latest pics / updates of your mini-vivariums? Would like to know how yours are doing lah, so that I can learn from you!

    Thanks for your sharing!
