mushrroms are nothing to be worried about all my terrariums have had them at one point... most people on the dartfrog pages see them as a sign of health... sorta like coralline algae in a reef tank

Its weird I have an amazon aquarium with a peice of driftwood poking out of the water and there are always mushrooms growing on it. Strange cus I never introduced any- there just must be spores in the wood!

I am hoping they will spread! It would be tres cool. I want to add some dried turkey tails onto the back glass. Like this:

Wow very cool. I saw one like that yesterday. It had neons in the water and water dragons living in it.

very nice.. i want to do this with a 48" 45 g tank. nothing special just some firebelly newts and toads. some white cloud minnows. maybe something else.

I like white clouds because they reproduce rapidly. i had a set up simular to what i mentioned above just newts dwarf frogs and white clouds. totally self sustaned. newts and frogs would eat the white cloud fry and were too slow to catch the adults. always had around 15- 20 white clouds in the tank. white clouds would eat the hornwart thus i never had to feed this tank.

Cool, yeah I hope to keep this tank really low maintenance. I will have to figure out what fish to add, if any, down the road. I don't know how the white clouds would do cus I am heating the water?

You know, I religiously put a black background on every one of my tanks. But on this one I have decided against it. I just think cus its a rimless tank and I have a white and black asian "zen" bedroom thing going on that not having a background looks really cool. It also makes the tank look more open and airy. We'll see down the road, but for now I'm digging the look.
