Its a 46g bowfront, there are alot of plants in there, mostly bromiliads some tildansia, creeping fig and various moss and other tropical plants. Theres only a betta fish in there right now. The rest of the tanks houses Poison Dart Frogs.

Thanks Sean - the information was not for me - although I think your system looks very nice - but my friend has a frog of some kind and she is working towards something like that. I have never kept fresh water aquariums or terrariums. Maybe someday I will give it a try as I love the look of planted tanks.

If you search around some people have made outstanding planted tanks. Im currently in the process of build a 200g one myself.

minnows, bettas, and any cold water fish would do perfect, platties, guppies those kind

A crayfish would look good in there...and requires no heater.

The proper term for waht you are tring to build is plaudarium, it's not a really popular thing for some reason though.

I tried the paludarium thing - was pretty difficult. Was nice for a couple of months, then carefully chosen plants started rotting. I tried a couple of different types of set-ups, but really, no success. Archers are brackish, for sure. If you want to do brackish, why not a nice little figure 8 puffer and some mangroves? Superstore has mangroves, 4 for $20
