Hi, I've been working on a Paludarium for my Mata Mata for about 2 months now and due to jumping back and forth on what the finished product should be. I've been searching forums for help with pluming and general ideas for background mediums and thats what lead me here (and a whole bunch of other forums as-well) It's coming along at a relatively steady pace now but I'm sure in the up coming weeks while I continue to work on it I will have lots more questions and hopefully I might be able to help some new friends with problems they may be having. So here's a picture of it so far (none of the cork bark or wood are sealed in yet except for the waterfall which is only half done) Next I need to decide if Im gonna put a underlayment cement rock wall on the left side or more like if I have the patents to add on a few weeks of production time.
And since I'm new Heres some pictures of my aquatic Friends. I have a lot of land dwellers two but I figured these buys are more relevant.
Murphy the Mata Mata
Boogieboard my Alligator snapper
and Kelly Jr. my Imperial Zebra Pleco (thats what the tag said on the tank at the pet-shop but she only cost me 45$ so I knew she wasn't a real zebra pleco. maybe someone can help me identify her????)
Boggieboard and Kelly Jr. live in the same tank their best buds. They have been living together for about 6 months now with no problem the snapper doesn't even harass her let alone try to take a bite.
Next I really want to get a Fly River Turtle but I don't think I have the room for another big tank right now. It's probably worth throwing out some furniture to accommodate a 150gal though who needs bookshelf anyway it doesn't even have books on it just dvds? Plus FRT's are phenomenally cool.... and cute to watch. Might go with a Leachianus though cause it's got to go in my room on the second level and with all the tanks and cages in here a 150gal filled with water might just drop the room threw the floor?
