Full Tank Shots of my Dart Vivs

[RikoAustria]

I need to hire you to make me a nice display tank for my terribilis!

If we were closer to each other, I'd definitely do it!

Thanks... the leucs, azureus and auratus tanks have tree fern panel backgrounds.... the cobalt tank is a combination of a piece of cork bark and great stuff spray foam and coco fiber combo, same goes for the man creek tank

[daggekko]

in your opinion which is better? tree fern panel or the gs/mix?

[RikoAustria]

There's really no "better" of the two. I like tree fern panels because they're easy. However, I like to have the freedom of creating depth and shaping my BG as well, so the GS method works well for that.

Hi Riko,

I'm starting to plan a Viv for some Bumblebee Darts and would love to have you give a basic run through on putting together the Colbat setup you have created. They are all spectacular and would love to give them a home like that.
Substrates, layers and plants would really help in my planning.

Riko, I am sure I've asked you before, but what are your lids?
