Shrimpo Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 I used to have few Ripariums in the past and now I am thinking to start another one, if you have a Riparium feel free to post pictures and list of the plants you keep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High5's Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 Awesome tank! I want to do a 180 gal rip in my living room one day. Maybe something smaller for now. There are a ton of air plants Spanish mosses, other types of mosses down here right out side my door. I don't think you can pick some of it but if a storm knocks it down its fair game. ctaylor3737 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrimpo Posted July 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 Go for it High5's, it is very low maintenance and fish love it. talking about fish, a Riparium would be nice also to raise the Killifish fry you have Soothing Shrimp, plenty of live food there and hiding places.

Louie Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 Shrimpo , Fantastic tanks . Do you still keep dart frogs? Decades ago I looked into them but the tiny food cultures looked like a pain . Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 40 gallon breeder. What is the plant with the arrow like leaves and white veins in the first pic (top left hand corner) called.Is it a riparium only plant or can it be grown submersed?

Soothing Shrimp Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 Shrimpo , Fantastic tanks . Do you still keep dart frogs? Decades ago I looked into them but the tiny food cultures looked like a pain . Same here. I love their look and was interested in breeding, but flightless flies, etc just wasn't in my interest. I knew I suck at keeping cultures alive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louie Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 Soothing, my case I know plenty of those flies would escape and not only get in the house but the yards mango tree . The next option was termites and no way in Florida of all places am I breeding termites , lol. The dart frogs and mantellas themselves are gorgeous tiny frogs . Shrimpo, Have you kept newts or salamanders in such a set up as you ripariums ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtletanks91 Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 Man these look great. My plants are just hanging in there with natural sunlight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrimpo Posted July 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 Louie, I never kept Newts or Salamanders before, I also stopped keeping frogs for the same reason you mentioned. Shaun, That is house plant called Syngonium podophyllum, can not be grown submerged. Louie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subtletanks91 Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 Haha I have plenty of that. I used clay pebbles amazonia and fravel in my planter though. You would think that would give the plants an extra boost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
