It’s 1:30am and I e finally, FINALLY gotten the tank set and ready to go.
Pump is working
Landscapes are all set
Critters can go back in tomorrow!
I want to sleep.

FROGS.....!! Got some froggy friends multiple days ago, they've just been waiting for a renovation on their terrrarium that finally got done today! (Big thanks to @lennivaan.bsky.social for doing the silicone work on their new pool side) 🐸💚 #frogs #paludarium #terrarium
Fed my Powder Orange #isopod #terrarium some algae I removed from a mini jar #paludarium. Everyone seems to like it so far!
Finally able to turn on the pump for the waterfall in a new Lychas muchronatus Chinese swimming scorpion paludarium.

Setting up a 10g semi-aquatic habitat for Bombina orientalis.
They come from cool streams and ponds, so shallow water, rocks, and plants help mimic their natural home. Their bright bellies are an adaptation to warn predators!

Paludarium is coming together! Eventually going to add some wildlife with a cleanup crew and fishies, but looking for suggestions for plant life as well!

My paludarium finally has a new glass lid! This thing has been here for months and it won't stop growing - I might need to cut it down a bit. 😅

A photo of a tropical terrarium planted with ferns, philodendron, and moss.
A photo of a small temperate terrarium planted with many species of fern and moss. Light is casting in from the left side, reminiscent of the late afternoon sun.
My tropical terrarium is nearly fully established (almost ready for a little frog friend, perhaps). I've also recently set up a more temperate terrarium in an old 10 gal. (Unsure if anything is going to live inside due to size constraints.)

An 11x11" rimless aquarium tank with sandstone rocks, a large black clay tube acting as a waterfall. A dwarf horsetail in the back. The water only fills about a quarter of the tank. Moss and other small plants fill out some of the tank. Outside of the tank are various knickknacks and two other potted ferns.
Slowly, but surely, this tank is improving.
Added the dwarf horsetail today bc horsehail is native to my state. Still need a good grass for around it though, but I'll probably use dwarf hairgrass. And maybe some anubias if there's room.

Did a bit of trimming on the 55gal today. More plants = less water changes.

Occasionally I lift up the bar in the #paludarium to make sure the #salamanders I raised from eggs are doing okay... I don't know how they find the fruitflies to eat when they're always buried under things, but they seem to be doing well. And they're so cute!

The pond part of the #paludarium I made looks boring now that all the tadpoles grew up into frogs and salamanders, so I got some mollies to put in there instead and they seem to be doing great...
The #vampirecrab #paludarium needs a trim up as this philodendron micans suddenly started popping off. It really loves being in a #vivarium! I need to redo this tank anyway, the crabs are apparently still alive because I keep seeing new tunnels, but haven’t seen them in 6 months!
Building a beautiful paludarium for our Vietnamese mossy frogs (Theloderma corticale)! This highly cryptic species exhibits exceptional camouflage, closely mimicking a clump of moss. #Paludarium #Frog #Pet
Wanted to share this #terrarium I made for the #floristry course I'm studying in. It's been more than a week since I made it and most of the plants are doing well except for the small duckweeds in the water (however I've bought aquarium fertilizer so maybe that'll help). #paludarium
Super easy #Paludarium build for our European Marbled #Newts using our 40-gallon turtle tank and an artificial rock panel! These stunners are native to western Europe and become mostly aquatic during breeding season. #Pet #Amphibian
If you’re into #aquascaping, #terrarium, #paludarium, or #vivarium building, tell me if you relate: trying to explain to friends and family the price of rocks and nice looking wood.
I also had an epic #driftwood haul, some of which are going to fill a very large project and save money. The big ass #vampirecrab #paludarium build is now much cheaper
Here's some video footage of the #paludarium, with unwanted cameos from my cat and dog who both wanted to be on video as well...
Collage photo showing the pond section of the paludarium I made still full of tadpoles and salamander larva, with a tiny waterfall dripping into it, then two close up shots of tiny newly metamorphosized froglets, one green and one brown.
There are now at least five or six #tadpole - turned - #frog s in the #paludarium (no adult salamanders on land yet, though), and more every day...

Screenshot of a mastodon post because bluesky character limits are ridiculous: #paludarium update: (sorry for the blurry photos, my phone is steadily breaking and there are scratches on the camera lens so it's hard to take clear photos...) the plants and #tadpoles are doing well, some of them are getting quite large, like the bulbous head part is larger than my pinkie fingernail. The #salamander larvae aren't don't quite as well--I can't seem to keep them alive as long, and they tend to have the ends of their tails missing, so I'm worried the larger tadpoles are eating them. Still, there are three or four still in there, and one of them is pretty large (almost the same size as the largest tadpole). It's interesting watching their differing metamorphosises...the frog and toad tadpoles grow back legs first then much later grow front legs, lose their tail then lose their bulbous shape, while the salamanders grow teeny tiny front legs first, as well as the cheek gills that make them look like axolotls until they go on land. I'm excited to see how they do once they're exploring the land, though it means I'll have to switch up their diet, and finding bugs small enough for newly

A little video showing off the #paludarium I built for raising locally-caught frog and salamander tadpoles, including the little waterfall... The plants are doing well and so are the tadpoles, except the frog ones keep eating the salamander larvae 😅
Photo of me holding a double-Palm-sized root branch in my hand in front of the paludarium (terrarium with partial land partial water full of tadpoles)
Found this cool looking partial bush-trunk-branch-thing in the street at the playground yesterday, so of course I'm going to boil out any pests then add it to the #paludarium 😁

Close up photo of one of the frog tadpoles that's currently about as big as my pointer finger thumbnail, not counting the tail
The #paludarium I recently built is doing well, except I need to go back to the pond to catch more salamander larvae... There used to be a half dozen but now I can only find one, I think the much larger frog and toad tadpoles are eating them 🤬
Photo of Crawley looking at the paludarium I built (terrarium with land and water and a little waterfall)
showing him the #paludarium stocked with locally-found frog and salamander tadpoles, and chilling out together while I watch a bit of TV. My understanding is that before his previous owner got sick, he would carry the lizard around a lot, and I don't want Crawley to lose that friendliness.

BEHOLD, #PALUDARIUM! (the water is still murky from me dumping the tadpoles in, it'll look clearer after the mud settles)
