Yes the tank does have a lid and I need it covered in case i decide to stock it with a frog. I purchased the plants from a store. I figured the environment in the tank would mask that of a green house with the humidity but I guess i was wrong..OOOOPS! lol Any suggestions on tropical plants...

First thank you to all of you for the kind thoughts....NOW onto your help lol, all my plants are dying like crazy. I figured it might be from transplanting stress, but they are getting worse and worse. I felts the soil and its moist by not wet. The leaves feel really dry and brittle. I have...

Got the water feature added in and it works great! Here are some pics. I'm not totally sure on the stocking yet. Any suggestions?

Thanks guys! Will be adding in a water feature soon.

Added some moss as well as stone and a hut to the landscape. All right, time to build the rock wall (water side), I'm using aquarium silicon to attach the rocks to the plexiglass to prevent it from moving. Here is how it looks so far...

What is the name of the last fish that you have a pic of? I have that same fish and can not remember the name of it to save my life. Thanks :fun: btw your tank is amazing

It's a 29 gallon tank. i have 5 barbs, 3 platy, a ghost shrimp, and two fish i forget their name it something like clown faced something i believe. i'll try and take a pic and put it up of the unknown ones. I don't ever see any harassment of the snails. They look good for about a week then...

After I drained out the water I started building my landscape side. I placed black about a inch and a half layer of black gravel to the bottom before I added the organic soil to help with drainage. I then added plants that I washed prior to planting hopefully to remove any chemicals that were...

UPDATE!!!! :hyper: So I added water and the seal held perfectly. YAY!

I have a tropical community tank sitting at 78-80 degrees and have a hard time keep my snails alive. I have recently read that trap door snails like milder temperatures and could be the reason that the ones i place in my tank keep dying. If possible, what are a variety of snails that I could...

I was too thinking of using a type of crab, I think the allowed space would be great.

I would say there will be about a gallon of water..maybe more

was thinking with the tank being so small maybe a couple blood shrimp or a neon tetra to the water side and possibly a poison dark frog. the stocking is where i would love suggestions, with this being my first habitat.

A bonsai would be awesome if i can find one that would be small enough, i'll have to check the climate that the grow in and see if it would work..yes im definitely going to be adding moss in there as well. maybe some clover as well

The land will be going on the larger side of the tank. I was able to pull apart my filter that came with the tank and will be trying to make a rock water feature out of it...Kind of hard to explain what is in my head. Still looking into plants to add in here. Any suggestions?
