Ok, they've been for a couple weeks. Sorry I didn't do a construction journal. Tell me what you guys think. I wasn't sure what frog species to put in the vivarium but I ended up going with a pair of cobalt tincs. a pair of green auratus and a tri of leucs. The Paludarium will house a few gold dust day geckos.

I like the work you did. Where are these located ? Is there any horizontal land space for the geckos or only vertical ? What species of fish are you keeping in there besides the hatchets?

I'm putting more thick sticks in the paludarium for the geckos. There is a lot of surface area on the wall with the plants though. there is a large stump that sticks out.

There are blue german rams, neon tetras, hatchets, two dwarf gauramis, and a few green cory cats. I'm regretting the corys though. I didn't know they were such aggressive oportunists. They loved the dwarf aquatic frogs I put in and the fire belly newt.

Nice looking viv!

Nice looking Palidarium!

But I'd be cautious about all the animals you're putting in. In this case the 10 gallons per frog might not work with the different types of frogs. Also which I'm sure you know, Tincs are territorial.

those are looking pretty sweet. is this for that church project? i'm not sure if you were the guy talking about that.

Yes this is for the church/private school. It's in the garden of eden themed kindergarden - 1st or 2nd grade. There is also a salt water tank and an amazon fresh water tank.

Next, we're putting in back to back 144gal 1/2 circle tanks. One to be a preditor reef and the other to be a comunity reef tank.

wow, the students should feel very privileged to have such large and beautiful displays! Most schools, even private, don't have the budget for such extravagant tanks.
