So Pickle Banjo is now in his new viv. I've never built one before and I had to rush this one a lot more than I would've liked to since he was just in a little container on the kitchen counter for over a month. I chose not to do a foam stuff background because I think he needs as much room as possible and this is only a 33 gallon tank. I also chose not to do a false bottom because I don't plan on moving the viv at all. I'd love to create a 55 gallon paludarium for him sometime in the near future though.
Here is the breakdown of his current viv:
33 gallon aquarium (received an old one from a cousin. Gave it a little makeover with a sharpie)
Tetra repofilter (nothing fancy, just something cheap to clean his water for now).
Temp and Humidity gauges (I didn't put those there, they were already on the tank and stuck on there good).
River rock and sand substrate
Springtails
Lighting is probably not really sufficient, but it's what I could do for now (fluorescent daylight bulb).
Driftwood
Large rocks
Plants:
*Oriental sword
*Bunch plant (no idea what the actual name is).
*Salvinia
*Frog moss
*Sagittaria Subulata
*Utricularia Graninifolia (I understand this to be difficult to grow. Just figured I'd give it a try).
As for his wounds, they are still healing well and I got his supplements. I think we are all set for the most part (for now).
