In search of Leiarius
whats it called when a tank is filled halfway with water, and the other half has plants growing with their roots in the water.

Forgot whats it called.
 
That is a paludarium
 
more than one kind:

I think a Vivarium is actually a general term for any "environment" that we keep animals in (for example, Aquariums and Terrariums are both forms of vivarium I THINK....though vivarium is usually used interchangeably with terrarium)

A Terrarium I believe generally doesn't have an area for aquatic life, usually they're for reptiles or amphibians (desert or tropical) though sometimes the tropical ones will have a misting system or small water fall for humidity purposes.

A Paludarium is basically a tropical terrarium with a water feature usually filtered and large enough for some aquatic life. So it has a land area for a reptile or amphibian as well as a water area for fish or shrimp.

A Riparium, as i understand it, has an aquatic area as well as areas to grow emersed plants, but not a real land area for a reptile or amphibian to live on.
 
Thanks riparium is what I was looking for.
