Living Vivarrium? You ever made one?
    #21528826 - 04/10/15 01:57 PM (9 years, 1 month ago)

I have a 20litre old aquarium that does not leak and I want to make a living vivarium in it!
Must have a water feature.

As far as I can tell you just need a gravel base, a charcoal layer, a substrate layer, and a way to prevent the water from going anaerobic.

I can manage that easy peasy!

Anybody ever built a self sustaining vivarium before?

Tips and links greatly appreciated!!!

:hug:

I'm planning to make one since a couple of years but never found will to do so

My idea was to fill my 18 litres vertical aquarium with a self-made, stone wall waterfall, and add small plants and mosses all around. Maybe some pieces of cool wood too if they fit

My first attempt with the wall was quite successfull but I need to fix my hot glue gun to be able to stick together all the rocks, as I'm using pieces of a rock that was cutted at about 1 cm thickness. I know there are different ways to make rocks but this one sounded good to me, even if I'm not sure of how it will look in the end

I have also another 200 litres tank but that will be for future projects in case this one goes good

This is one of those things I've always planned on doing, but never got around to.

I've built terrariums and aquariums, so it shouldn't be too hard.

I am in the process of building a few, they are going to be used to house dart frogs. Here are some that i found inspiring.

I used to own poison dart frogs, had 2 100g gallon enclosures that had corn bark, driftwood, tons and tons of live plants, a waterfall with pond that had fish in it, and a very cool automatic misting system. It was a really expensive hobby though, I couldn't afford it anymore back then. The initial costs were close to $2000 plus I had to maintain like 8 fruit fly cultures a week and made sure everything was okay. After that the costs were about 100-150$ a month for electricity, fly stuff, and other general things like that. Not to mention the poison dart frogs themselves costed me 80-100$ each, totaling about $1200.

It was really cool though. It was a very nice set up, and nothing like sitting in a chair and looking at these chunks of the rainforest for a while.

Here is one of the tanks, can't find other pic of the other one.



Here is the one they have at the Denver Zoo.

Wait, Is a Vivarium just a Terrarium that you keep animals in?

I think I was thinking of a Paludarium :lol:

If so, I have indeed kept a Vivarium.

"A vivarium (Latin, literally for "place of life"; plural: vivaria or vivariums) is an area, usually enclosed, for keeping and raising animals or plants for observation or research. Often, a portion of the ecosystem for a particular species is simulated on a smaller scale, with controls for environmental conditions."

I see!

I've kept salamanders and tree frogs (not together) in setups like that.
