First try at paludarium

[kookiejar2]

Trying my hand at creating a paludarium..... Let's see where it goes. Also do check the neat little waterfall in the middle..... well, almost waterfall-ish!
I'm a noob at these kind of plants, but I'm guessing the one at the right is a philodendron golden emerald, the middle one is Helxine..... no clue for the name of the plant on the left...... a species of spider plant, may be?!....
It's a work in progress..... Will add other stuff in the coming days.

Thanks felix453. The dimensions are L 18" x B 10" x H12"
Also, a bit of net surfing tells me that the plant on the left is a dracaena warneckii.... Anyone would like to confirm?

Still thinking of fish stock ideas..... as the water part is extremely minimal, I'll have to get interesting, but very small species. Any ideas?!.....

Looks good!
For fish I would go with celestial pearl danios (galaxy rasboras) and some scarlet badis.

Thanks GrantA94..... Scarlet badis is something I was sure thinking of..... But since the water part doesn't get much light, I'm not too sure if anyone can see the fish in the darkness! Will the white tailed fancy guppies be too boring?!

How many inches of what you got?

But at minimum i would say you could do some cherry red or crystal res shrimp in that tank quite easily given temps dont fluctuate too much or get too hot...

Scarlet badis will actually come out o hiding during feeding time... You could also check out clown killi fish as well...
