... So- for the longest time I've wanted an invert tank- and have been planning to get one end of this year...
... I've also wanted a Paludarium... Can't justify the cost of getting both...
Until the obvious thought crossed my mind. Why not an invert Paludarium? I want something on the land part- but I'm not sure what...
Any suggestions? The inhabitant of the land part obviously doesn't have to be an invert- but it would be nice if it was something small and easy to care for... something that would get in the water from time to time- but not be a nuisance to my inverts.
Perhaps a newbie newt of some kind?
Also, what kind of lighting is needed... In the water would be simple- low light plants- just java moss/fern... Probably have some Hydrocotyle growing emersed (I've got a bunch growing this way in a pot outside and I like how it works) - don't know what I'll have on land yet... I've got a lot of reasearch as to what works best for that... I'd like a marshy land area.
I'm really at a real beginning point now- lots of research to do still- and probably won't start a build for months yet.
