DOes anyone here do viquariums. I think it would be cool to make one with a river. Or tunnels for fish that go under the landpart of it. maybe in a large tank have several islands and a mainland all seperated by rivers and bodies of water.

By the way...
What the heck is a Viquarium or a Paludrium?
I gather from context that they are aquarium/terrarium hybrids, but could you explain in more detail? I have been considering an upgrade to my turtle tank that might be one of these things.

Viquarium? Paludrium?
I guess I've been looking in some cruddy dictionaries, but I can't find either of these words and I didn't take Latin in school. Other than the context clues, I don't know what these mean. Help!

I'll look there.
Hah! I found them!
Vivarium is quite generic: any enclosure designed to mimic the habitat of a creature. I suppose some good zoo cages could be considered vivaria. In this context, I would imagine we would be talking about a riverine environment.
Paludrium is more specific: a swamp/marsh/fen themed aquarium.
Thanks for asking the weird question, STraBO (or whatever your name is for the moment
)
