^ Thanks for the comment, and yeah i've been thinking if there is anything suitable for the land area, since i don't whatever i keep crawling out of the tank exploring my flat waiting to be stepped on...

That's exactly what I've been considering with my paludarium build... something that is completely non aggressive to any size fish or even fish eggs (as I plan to have my proven breeding group of corydoras in there) but will still make use of the land area and NOT crawl out of the tank.

Hmm, could you directly pour seachem flourish into the soil?

Well he's already got ADA substrate...?

Thanks, and maybe you should try one too

But in all honesty, if it wasn't for seeing the large 1200G? Paludarium on here, i probably wouldn't have had the inspiration to build this small one for myself...

Yeah, its hard to find things that won't climb out and that are fish / fish egg friendly... i've had people recommend Chinese Newts (Picture below) but just not that big a fan of them... since my first preference is a chameleon, but they need much larger tanks...

As clockwork orange mentioned, i'm already using ADA substrate, so should be okay as far as dosing is concerned, plus, i don't want my plants to grow out of control... so the slower they grow the better so i have more time to take care of them...

Have you thought of mudskippers?

^ Thanks for the comment, and actually I did at one stage consider keeping these fish but the problem is from what i've read, they actually require brackish water to strive... so unfortunately don't think that will work, plus they get to 15cm? don't they?

But yeah, i'll keep updating the tank as it comes along slowly...

Hey Fat Homer, freshwater will be fine for young mudskippers and if you get the Indian mudskipper type.. (very small) they don't really grow...not even a finger length. Anyways, just a suggestion ^_^
