Have to make sure it's hardwood as in Oak, Maple etc. Can't use softwood as it releases a toxin that in the small aquarium environment will kill fish.
Also the wood needs to be dried out before you can use it.
If it drops all the leaves in the fall its hardwood, if it has needles that stay year round its softwood.
Hey guys I have question im thinking maybe im going to make a south american paludarium but i dont know what species to put in there any suggestions!!!!!
What size were you thinking? stocking will depend on the encolosure size and amount of water vs land.
Classic choice for land section would be dart frogs, Anoles, some geckos. I'd pick one and not mix em. Would need a large land portion/arboreal section for these & would need enclosure to be escape-proof of course.
For fish, ideas could range from small tetras to SA cichlids, would depend on the size of it . I'd probably just go for some colorful tetras and l cory cats etc, and not try to shoehorn anything, unless water section was quite large.
Its going be mist probably a 30 gallon grow out paludarium its going to half land half water symmetrically on exactly the middle of the tank
What about any species of land reptile or amphibian that will actually use the whle paludarium in which it will swim in the water and then go on land
So a 30 gallon tank, land and water meet in middle, at about halfway up the tank's height? That would be around 7.5 gallons of water, so that would limit the choices quite a bit. Tiny nano fish eould be the way to go. If you wanted a south american theme, ember tetras would fit the bill.
