Hi,

Looks good. More plants will make it look much better. Just wanna ask, is it possible to keep those red claw crabs in these setups? I always like crabs and have kept them in semi aquatic setups but the problems is they die after some time (Dunno why also). It will be great if this setup can accomodate the crabs. What are you going to place inside (I mean fauna)?

Cheers,
Lawrance

Lovely. Do update us on the outcome of the setup when completed. Should be very nice with the scape you created.
I wonder, would this be a breeding ground for mosquitoes cos insects and others tend to congregate in a moist environment.

is dat a cork bark for the background?

Hi Ray, glad to be of assistance to ya. Ur basic skeletal setup look well done. Juz a point tho, if ur cork bark dat's adhered to back wall n it comes into contact wif water, juz make sure it's well adhered wif silicon. And also, cork bark will tint e water eventually, so have regular water changes in e initial stages.

Overall, ur setup is nice. Perhaps, wat ya cld do to enhance it further is have a clump of plants at e rear left side n work ur way towards e edge. Perhaps ya cld add dragonscales or thick java moss draping over e edge where e water meets.

Nice setup n hope to see updates frm ya, Ray. : )

Cheers & Congrats,
Phillip.

I think everyone is keen to know what animal species you will put into such a well-deco tank, me included. Terrapins? Salamanders (are they legal)? Frogs?

But you know, what about senegals, ropefish or walking catfish? They can heave-o onland for a bit to tan and then hop back into water
