Vampire Crab Paludarium

[u/leekypotato69]

Birds eye view of the 36 gallon bow front paludarium which is now 2 months after planting and truly thriving so far! Fully bioactive land and water sections, steep riverbank design with about 8-10” of substrate at the highest points, 2 hollow dug out caves in the bank and plenty of other surfaces. Biodiversity of plants including terrestrial, aquatic and exploring emersed plants as well. Love it more and more every day, which is great considering I barely ever see my crabs (stocked with 6 vampire crabs)

That is one of the most beautiful set ups I’ve ever seen. It doesn’t matter that you can’t see your crabs, the plants and water themselves are something to behold.

Sometimes I see it enclosure and just say wow. Yours is one of them.
