    Well that's pretty disappointing. I was really looking forward to putting those in my vivarium. lol But it's okay I'll find some other stunning plants to place in their.

    Bromeliads are used so often because they are so easy to grow and keep alive. Also they are gorgeous. I already have a couple I plan on putting in my vivarium. ;P

    I would love to see if this tank is done and what it looks like. It sounds like it would be a beautiful tank
