10G Vampire Crab Paludarium

very nice,im debating whether or not to make my 10 gal into a palaudarium :) with firebelly newts,and i like the wall idea!
 
Wow that looks really good.. grats on the new setup

Thanks!

Wow, I love the top view. Hehe... your carnies will fill that spot happily. =)

I hope! It's right next to the window sill so I hope they get more light.

Nice job Chris!

Thank you!

would like to see some land dwellers with cp's
:popcorn:

I'm still debating what to get. It's either an anole, Fire Bellied Toads or Vampire Crabs. I'm gonna try to get Vamps, then anole, then FBTs

awesome tank!!!! What a quick build too!

Thanks! Too much free time on my hand.

DOOOO ITTT!!! Peer pressuring you!

The only thing is, I've been getting conflicting info if a FBT would be suitabl in my set-up or not since they need are basically aquatic.
 
That looks great!

It's not suitable for anoles or FBTs (not enough land for the toads and WAAAAAY too much water for the anoles), unfortunately. I don't know about the crabs. It might be ok for FBNs, I've never kept those newts and don't know exactly what kind of land water ratio they need. I do know that with newts that land to water preference generally varies by the individual and can sometimes varry by life stage and season.

You could do a rough skinned newt (T. granulosa) in that setup without having to modify it much at all. You'd just have to add a couple of hides to the land and in the water. Mine is almost entirely aquatic and so fun! They have lots of personality.

Not to be a jerk or anything, but this kind of thing is why you should pick the animal before designing your setup. :p

i think they would be okay,maybe add a moss carpet or something for them to climb around on,and they do breath air,and the water is filtered so i think they should be fine. im thinking about doing like and hob filter waterfall/stream,but im not sure how.....
 
Fire bellied TOADS are not mostly aquatic. They are about half and half. Fire bellied NEWTS can be mostly aquatic. Just wanted to clarify a bit.
