Hi All, I'm a newbe setting up a vivarium.  I have a 90G tank (2' black cube with clear 1/2 sphere "bubbles" on the four sides.  Pic Attached) My intent is to build an island in the center, with plants and frogs, and fish in the water around the island.  I have placed a  tub in the tank with...

Hi, I'm building a vivarium for my highland nepenthes and would like to add some orchids. It will be cool (40's or low 50's at night and 70's at day) (around 10ºC night and 20/25 ºC day, might get down to 5ºC in winter). It will be humid (almost always over 80% with saturation every night due...

i am thinking of using my 75 gal tank as a dart frog vivarium which means my neps will be kicked out(though i may leave the speckled amp in there if i can find sufficient evidence that the frogs will come to no harm, Black Jungle has a referance to some of there frogs breeding in a nep pitcher)...

Someone please help me. As some of you know, I've had my ventricosa in my vivarium with firebellied toads for a long time. It's been in standing water, but seemed to like it. I mean, it was making leaves and everything seemed ok. I just noticed today that 3 of its leaves have turned black, and...

I've had a ventricosa for about 10 months that I've nursed back to health. When I got it, it only had one leaf. Now it has about 4 or 5, and another should unfurl any day now. I keep it in my vivarium with my fire-bellied toads and fire-bellied newt. They don't bother it, so it's not being...

I want to post a picture of my vivarium, but I don't know if the picture has to be online or not. If it does, I won't be able to post it because I don't have a web site or anything. Can anyone help me out?

Is there already a thread like this if so sorry! I am about halfway through a very detailed vivarium though I plan on maybe a single tree frog in there. It is a 48gln , 1/4 octagon. All things Epi(phytic). I have a couple plants in it but I am waiting for most in trades. I've begun "mossing"...

I just bought a small water pump to make a waterfall in my standing water vivarium which houses two fire-bellied toads. They're getting really jumpy, and I don't know if it's just because of something new in their tank, or if it's because of the buzzing noise that the pump makes. Does anyone...

After just setting up my new Vivarium I just noticed snails and small centipede thingys!! Is my plant under danger?? Will my plant eat theese things?? What can I do?

I bought a bromeliad from a garden center and placed it in my vivarium about a month ago. It grew like crazy and looks healthier than when I got it but the flower/crown appears to be falling over and looks very weak like I could just pull it out. The rest of the leaves are still bright green and...

Hi all, Phil Faulisi gave me a Dorstenia foetida on my trip to his greenhouse. It's kind of like an ant plant, but its a succulent, and does not house ants. Anyways when I got it it had 4 leaves. 3 were really small leaves formed during dormancy. The big one was the newest one, came out 2...

I read about a digital timer on the Naturalistic Vivarium group that self-adjusts the daily On/Off times to account for the changing sunrise and sunset times throughout the year. Looks like it would be very helpful to simulate the seasons for indoor growers...

I was needing some help with picking out the type of plants for a vivarium. I heard low land neps do well in a vivarium and was looking for ones that doens't require dormancy. Or if they do I can simple change them, but hoping for plants with little dormancy. Sundew that requires no dormancy...
