After seeing calivivarium1's paludarium, it gave me an inspiration to redesing my Fire bellied toad's 20 gallon long plaudarium. I went for plants that are normally aquatic growing emersed, but it eventually evolved into more than that. I didn't take any pictures of when I was setting it up, I'm sorry. I found out that if sphagnum peat moss is wet enough, it will stick to glass if you pack it down on it, so I went all out and created the sides and back with the phagnum moss bacground. I also found a great piece of wood in a river that had a little trough where I drilled a hole for some tubing to go through to make a little river. I've put some java moss on the very moist soil hoping for it to "stick" and make me a lawn like foreground, along with a pot of creeping fig I ordered for the back, but for now I have some sort of miniature Ivy. I also bought some feeder guppies to take up the aquatic section of the Paludarium.
