My Teraechis paludarium

[Ssyx]

Just a minor update, I pruned overgrowned anubias "coffeefolia" in my shrimptank so few pieces got into water section and waterfall too.

Tads are also going well, always hungry and nicely swimming

[deranged chipmunk]

very nice! i like the placement of the A. Coffeefolia. are you planning on growing any moss on the water fall area?

[deranged chipmunk]

is that willow moss you are keeping the tads with?

[Ssyx]

For both questions, the moss there is bought as java moss so its probably Taxiphyllum barbieri. There are few patches on the log and waterfall, they just take their time to adapt

Small drosera can be seen on a left side, smallest of three I planted to the land section.

Wonderful thread. Beautiful enclosures.
Welcome Ssyx !

Bill ( our very own deranged chipmunk ) has brought us a long way, teaching us a lot about the plants we use.
We enjoying sharing and discussing the joy of seeing even the smallest growth of a crypt or any difficult plant that might be added.

I'm happy to read you Bill have had a conversation using the botanical names of plants on the fly ?

Not everyone can do that do that.
I personally have 'brain drain' when it come to remembering the sp names of most of my plants
My explanation of a plant goes something like this: "You know.. that plant you gave my that has the tiny little grass like leaves".
I'm exaggerating a bit ...... but that typically how it goes!
I need to provide photos Right Billy !

Again Welcome to Frog Forum ....Your enclosures and plants are lovely!
Looking forward to seeing more photos.



PS in post # 1 - I see you use a teaspoon to move tads. I use them as well. They are perfect. Baby spoons work great, to. Tads don't stick to plastic spoons very well.
Tip: Remember....don't share spoon(s) between frog species, you don't want to spread any bad things.

Thanks for warm welcome,
For me, its easier to use latin names because our czech names are inunderstansdable for other languages (when they aren't based on latin name) and I don't know most of your common english plant names and some of them, we consider rather silly (as pineapple, various berries and roots )
And don't worry, I don't remember most of the names either even when I should, as a pharmacy student.

To the spoons,,, I read about using them in guidebook. And since I have only one species sharing is easily solved.

Bill: Drosera capensis. And in our country is quite hard to clearly identify moss that we can get in aquarist shop or on expos, many shop owners just buy them from Germany or amateur aquarist and just write what the seller said. so it may be a willow moss
