Default My 2.5gal tank


This is a tank i've been working on for a while. It started as a emersed tank, but I've started to steer away from that, since I added a lot of nonaquatic plants. Its a standard 2.5gal tank, it looks alot bigger than it really is....

Plants: IDK all of them, I've forgotten quite a few. But Pennywort, viola sororia, a spider plant, anubias petite, some moss from the wood, and a few other things.

The pennywort is always flowering and is in need of a trim I think....

Livestock is 4 baby american toads and 1 baby treefrog. They are temporary and will most likely be released this fall. All of them are smaller than a dime, they have settled in and are doing very well. I find them very comical, especially when I feed them.

Nice! If I didn't read the title I would never have guess that tank was a 2.5. Very nice layout! Cute froggy too

Very cool, and nice layout... I didn't know pennywort and anubias could be grown non-immersed?

Is the moss a non-aquatic moss? Also, is there standing water for the amphibs, or do you just mist things down?

I have a bunch of pacific tree frog tadpoles that were given to me by a local nursery. No legs yet, but I'm going to have to come up with some terrarium space if I want to keep any of them...

Nice little tank, you have managed to make a small tank seem much bigger than it is and the layout is great. Good luck keeping the pennywort under control stuff. That grows so fast I eventually just gave it a pot of its own and now treat it like a houseplant. It does indeed seem to perpetually have flowers.
