Well i gave in to temptation today and bought a 3 ft (30 gal) tank that im going to setup as a vivarium. I plan on using expanding foam to make a background and cover it with coconut shell. Im going to do about 2/3 land 1/3 water with a small waterfall feature. Will be quite heavily planted if it all goes to plan.
Id like suggestions as to what type of wildlife i could put in there, bearing in mind i live in Australia and have a VERY limited choice of what i can legally obtain. I would really like one or two small lizards (maybe a type of gecko?) the only problem is that most small lizards native to australia live in the outback desert and i am going for a 'rainforest' theme with my tank.
This is what im hoping to achieve with my tank, so what kind of wildlife would you suggest to live in somthing like this ? Frogs are probally out of the question as choice is very limited in australia and as the tank will be in my bedroom noise from them would become a factor.
