Picture a jungle stream, pond, lake, marsh, or coastline - along each water's edge is a unique ecosystem with a wide variety of aquatic, semi-aquatic, and terrestrial plants and animals. Now you can recreate one of these beautiful works of nature in your own home with the benefits of having both an aquarium and a terrarium in one!
Interest in housing or recreating a natural biome habitable for exotic plants has a history that dates all the way back to the 1830's. Doctor and amateur botanist, Nathanial Ward, transported exotic Australian plants safely back to England in the first terrarium, known as the Wardian Case - facilitating from then on the interest and popularity of keeping a slice of nature in your home. The paludarium goes further by simulating a specific biome that can house aquatic life, terrestrial or arboreal animals, and living plants all in one enclosure.
From climbing plants, grasses, and ferns - to crabs, shrimp, and snails - to tetras, danios, and other small fish - to anoles, small geckos, and tree frogs - with the right research and setup the combinations can be endless!
Right now until February 10, 2020 you can get your very own Paludarium and Paludarium accessories at 10% OFF at Uncle Bill's Pet Centers!
