I have a concept that I have been working on for a few years, planted ripariums. I have heard my model systems compared to dart frog vivariums many times, but they are different in that they do not have dedicated terrestrial areas. The above-water areas are rendered instead with plant foliage: the plants being supported with hanging and floating planter devices. Ripariums would make poor habitats for most reptiles and amphibians, in fact, being more appropriate for keeping fish and other fully aquatic animals.
and what we think of when we hear paludarium.
