Our new FBT and their palaudium

[SludgeMunkey]

Some of you may recognize this paludium from caudata.org. It was an experiment with Cynops ensicauda popei in mind, but now that it has grown in well, I realized it was perfect for FBTs.

So without further blather, here is some shots of our new critters and their homes!

Very nice, Johnny. Some of them are very green. I still haven't forgotten this vivarium - I would pay serious money for that setup!

PS: Perhaps a photo of the month in there?

[Kurt]

Very nice. How long has the Java moss been growing in there?

[SludgeMunkey]

All the plants were added in Late March, Early April.
12 on 12 off lighting wiith standard T8 Bulbs is the secret.

I find Java moss to be indestructable, unless you put in a bucket and leave that bucket on your back porch during a New England winter. That will kill it, but not too much else will! I also find that it will take over the tank, clogging up filters and other equipment.

[SludgeMunkey]

Agreed. Every so often I take the scissors to a mass and trim it back...then save the trimmings to clone more batches. Works very well. All of my moss is descended from a few stray strands that was tangled into an anubis plant about 7 years ago.

For those that are interested, here is the thread that covered construction of this set up.

Its is amazing that all it takes is a few strands to get it going.

Great set up, however, if I want to spy on your built, the link seems to be brocken...

What kind of pump/filter did you use to make the waterfall?

That is a cheap Tetra Whisper 10i in tank filter.
