    Re: Vivariums

    Hi

    I like your back ground, really good!

    Add more flora like birdnest ferns or Nanas for main ground, some crypts for your underwater and some mosses on your driftwood , it will even better than before and more eye attraction. If you can add a small pump and rain-bar locate at background to create some nice little waterfall to rain down Nanas and mosses (to keep alive). As for the main ground , use HC for foreground. Remember if you add those flora which i mentioned earlier please cover the tank with any clear lid (glass or acrylic plate) to create a high humility to keep the flora alive even HC without immersion of water will survive.

    Have fun, bro!
    Hope this will help you.
    cheers

    Re: Vivariums

    Hi bro Marcus

    No need for that, just add more flora like Nanas(big leave type) in front of the rock and whatever colour of the rock will be eventually well match. Better still ,locate the rain bar on top of the rock will create natural downstream if you like.

    What fauna do you intend to kep in the vivarium? Looks nice.
    Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, teach a man to fish and he will drink beer while getting sunburnt.

    Bro, nice background! Would look fantastic if it can cover the whole background, including the area on top of the water section.

    Re: Vivariums

    Well if you want them to breed, you'll have to lower the temperature with either a fan or invest in a small chiller. Or you can take a risk by putting them in a container with holes and putting them in your fridge (not the freezer side) at about 3-6 deg Celsius for about 2 weeks if I'm not wrong, of course you've to feed them but at smaller amounts and then take them out and put them in their tank and wait... you can google the breeding methods online...

    Thank for viewing and advice.. I thought of investing on a small fridge to breed them.. As for now i have to put a stop to it first.. My OC is nagging at me for spending too much time on the tank then on her.. : ( By the way, any bro here come to see or find a cheap small fridge can let me know please. Thank you
