Nice. Any fauna?

**benny** · 2nd Apr 2007, 12:55

No fauna from the looks of it.

Anyway, it's a nice compact setup! I like it for it's simple layout. Is that ADA Amazonia Aquasoil you are using?

Cheers,

Try giving us a frontal shot.

Saw it at GCS and wanted to comment but was busy...

Hope you did not bury the whole rizhome in the soil...

Hi Altum_lover76.
it a Terrarium. hope this help to explain why no fauna inside.

A terrarium is a transparent glass or plastic container with soil. It has an open or closed top and is used for displaying growing plants as a miniature landscape. Many kinds of containers can be adapted for terrariums. These clear-sided containers have no drain holes and usually have a clear top. When a terrarium is properly planted and located, it can be a source of enjoyment for years, providing an interesting way to grow and display many plants with relatively little care.

You refering to vivarium? not terrarium, right

**Justikanz** · 3rd Apr 2007, 11:04

A terrarium is a kind of vivarium, but it is not restricted to only flora and no fauna. A good way to classify is to use amount of water in the setup. Terrariums are usually without a significant amount of water in the setup. We had had this discussion many times already and Wildginger had clarified that this should be the proper way of classifying terrariums, vaivariums and paludariums.

Hi 肥猫, the container was a very small one, i just place it beside a light source. and the temperature i not sure. should be around 30degrees. room temperature.

Look like the xmass moss does not go well with the amazonia.

Update

**Thirteen** · 20th Jan 2008, 00:29

wow! It's still around!? And from the looks of it, it grew huge! How are the moss doing though? will look better if covered the substrate?

**TS168** · 20th Jan 2008, 10:30

it not huge. It is taken with zoom in.

**EvolutionZ** · 20th Jan 2008, 20:23

hi bro, great looking nana you got.. does it grow really slowly?
today i setted up a Vivarium... and i bought a pot of mini nana too.. soil is GeX substrate.. does yours only grow big but did'nt propagate more nana?

**TS168** · 20th Jan 2008, 20:48

They will propagate, depend on condition and how you grow them. Most of my Anubias grow well and propagate. It all depend on if i am taking care of them or i chuck them in one corner.

I am now working on fern. So far so good.
