I've finally finished my first vivarium build. It's very simple, though I plan to get some branches or driftwood and add more plants in there. What do you think? Any advice to make it better? I have my pair of 'powder blue' tadpoles in the cups and they're growing well. They won't mature for a few months so the plants will have time to grow out a little.

Looks nice! I would add a lot more leaf litter to the floor but looks nice!

Hope it's ok to ask? How did you make your ledges/shelves? Are they cork bark or another wood and how did you secure them?

I have cattapa and magnolia leaves, just haven't added them. I received a thick ugly piece of cork wood in my order so I proceeded to slice it up with a machine saw. then I used super glue and little swabs of cotton to adhere them to the background piece.

Thanks for the info!

Looks cool! After you add that leaf litter, it’ll look even more natural.
