Envirobro's Paludarium- DIY 3D Background

Thanks man @Reghardt

 

Dude... Love the video... This was my first time hearing of a Paludarium... Good justification for having it as well.. I wouldn't keep the terrestrial organisms either. The planted section is really awesome. I really like your Green Terror, Jack Dempsey and Bristlenose. Great work. Looking forward to more updates.

 

Spring Update!

 

Thanks for the comment @KaiPTS86! Sorry I missed it :/ I hope you see the update

 

@EnvironmentalBro ... that looks amazing.. Awesome..Love it!!!!!

 

Thanks @MariaS

@Reedfish Thanks. Yeah since November last year. 3 SA cichlids and 3 CA cichlids. I have some of them in another tank for now. Thinking of going full SA for this one. Has that vibe about it.

 

I agree!!!

 

Beautiful! I did a DIY on my first 'big' (100L) tank and was very happy with it. Been considering it for my 240L. Decided I wouldn't, but after seeing this beaut of a tank, I may just reconsider!

Awesome work!

 

Thanks! It was a lot of work for such a big tank but it paid off The only fault in my plans was building the background and then deciding to put in a sump... Don't do that.

 

March 2018 Update:

Paludarium still running like a dream. I have kept the Oscar and Nicaragua cichlid. They seem to get along fine for now and each of them have their own hiding places on either side of the tank. I have 4 albino Ancistrus, 2 Yoyo loaches, 2 Pepper corries and 1 Syndontis catfish as tank mates. They have all been together for 6 months now and no problems yet.

Hey @jerry.singh.9022 that's cool man but it looks like an aquarium not a paludarium?

 

@EnvironmentalBro , thanks for the update.. its been a while!!

Looks stunning.. love it
That Oscar is beautiful!!

 

Thanks Maria. Yeah been busy! The Oscar has such a cool personality. Loves it’s tank but I’m surprised how much it likes staying under the ledge. I would love to study them in the wild to see if they exhibit similar behaviours.

 

Gees sorry dude didn’t realize which thread this is.....that’s what happens when your at work and busy doing everything but Work, lolol

In general Oscars do have awesome personalities, I love them
My very first fish years ago were Oscars.
I have one at the moment, very similar to yours but I have had to move him temporarily to one of Cesar's tanks as he is obviously territorial and was scaring my 3 young ray pups.
He leaves the big rays alone though so once mine get a bit bigger, I will bring him back
It would be an awesome experience to study them in the wild.. I must be honest its something I would love to do full time if I could.. Oscars and a few other fish..
