Hi everyone,
Need some help deciding if my little plan is doable. I am currently setting up a 10 gallon paludarium for my 6 yr. old son's guppies. It will be 2/3 water 1/3 land area with a waterfall wall covered in Java moss. There will be live plants in the water and I have ordered the "exotic plant sampler for Dartfrogs" from Black Jungle plus some tillandisias as well.
My question is this. Is this sufficient room to keep 1 PDF? At this point, I'm thinking one of the Tinc's but am open to suggestions. There will be guppies in the water area and possibly some FW shrimp for algae control. There will be a cypress branch that will come up out of the water to the land section.
As for the ability to care for a PDF, while the tank will be my son's, feeding, care will be my responsibility until my son is old enough to take over. For the record, my older boys both have multiple small pets and take excellent care of them.
My plan right now is to get the water side of the tank up and running and get the land section established before doing anything. Ideas? Suggestions ? Advice ? Am I nuts ?
