MAKING A GUPPY BREEDING FOREST AQUARIUM / PALUDARIUM | MD FISH TANKS

MAKING A GUPPY BREEDING FOREST PALUDARIUM | MD FISH TANKS
The tank has been sitting around for about a month. It's time to do the guppy breeding that I spoke about previously. The paludarium from Exoterra is sat at a great height which means really good viewing of the fish. I'll be choosing lots of good colours with a good mix of males and then lots of females. It's just good fun really isn't it :)

    Looks great one thing to be sure of is that you give the frogs some place to get out of the water very easily. Frogs especially dart frogs and tree frogs are suprisingly bad swimmers. I just would not want your first frog or gecko to drown. I have had some bad experiences with much much smaller water areas.

I see alot of people using egg crate light defuser but obviously theres alot of holes ill have to fill. Please when you get chance suggest some alternatives or any ideas you can think of to fill the holes on the egg crate thats great to stop leakes. I know silicone is a way to go but if i can help it i dont want to have to silicone every hole if possible but if its got to be done then tough tit i guess. Hope to hear from you soon
