My 50cm paludarium-like tank mini journal

[knight]

oh yeaa haha i think i'll do that.. thanks!!

here's just some videos of the critters having their makan time..

YouTube - Vampire Crab

YouTube - Feeding Pachytriton labiatus

oh yeah i need opinions on this one..

i re arrange some stuff and remove the big ol wood to make more space and thinking of new (underwater) scape but still no idea... want to make more hiding place for the newt and also more plants but dont know how yet..

*enjoying his mini temporary underwater island..


im also thinking about expanding the land area for the crab.. but no "waterfall" so this part will be dry.. what plants/substrate should i use?

here's my photoshopped idea...



what do you guys think?

Good day Bro,
Very impressive work you have there.

Really tempting to try! Ha... Ha... Ha...

Hey just a though, does it work on a 1 feet tank? I do have a spare tank for trial. But need guidance.

Cheers

I really need to ask where did you get the purple monster from. I mean which fish shop? Anyone knows? please advice! thanks

[Neebs]

Stunning...

What is your water temperature?

[leepwj]

Very nice setup.........bravo bro.

I only comment that for better effect, if you only has breadth size light, then you can put the light towards more to left or right side, if able, tilt the light a little so that slight diagonal lighting effect can be achieved, shining across the tank.

The siliconed background good idea, but don't know long time will drop out anot.

If I am not wrong the DW is less than 6 months old? Cus can see the tannins in the water.

Overall very nice tank.

Thanks guys!!

here are some updates.



this crab is my current fav. i always have doubts rearing these mini crabs. fearing they might drown like my last 2 did.. but this one is doing great. knows how to find its way back to the land ..

sometimes 1 whole day on land. and the other, underwater clearing up any leftover bloodworms..living in this tank for a month already.. coping well i guess..






some 20 ought shrimps..





thats all..

cheers!
