Vivariums/Paluduriums/Terrariums

Here are some new updates on what we have done for a school in the North. A Paludarium with Vampire Crabs & Indian Mudskippers. Done by EDEN Learning School.

The school children had a great time looking for the crabs and learning about all the other flora and faunas in the tank. It was a great learning journey for them and their teachers as well.

Always wanted to have something like a Paludarium, Planted, Marine tank setup in your school, office or even in the comfort of your own home?

Vivariums
A Vivarium (Latin, literally for "place of life"; plural: vivaria or vivariums) is a usually enclosed area for keeping and raising animals or plants for observation or research. Often, a portion of the ecosystem for a particular species is simulated on a smaller scale, with controls for environmental conditions.

A vivarium may be small enough to sit on a desk or table, such as a terrarium or an aquarium, or may be a very large structure, possibly outdoors. Large vivaria, particularly those holding organisms capable of flight, typically include some sort of a dual-door mechanism such as a sally port for entry and exit, so that the outer door can be closed to prevent escape before the inner door is opened.

Insectarium, containing insects and arachnids.

Formicarium, with species of ants.

Paludarium, simulating a rain forest or swamp environment. It also can be seen as an aquarium interconnected with a terrarium, having both the underwater area as well as the shore.

Riparium, a paludarium with circulating current through different-leveled pools with only plants

Terrarium, simulating a dry habitat, for instance desert or savannah. A terrarium can also be formed to create a temperate woodland habitat, and even a jungle like habitat. This can be created with pebbles, leaf litter, and soil. By misting the terrarium, a natural water cycle occurs within the environment by condensation forming on the lid causing precipitation. Many kinds of plants are suitable for these habitats, including bromeliads, African Violets and Crassulaceae. Animals commonly held for observation include reptiles, amphibians, insects, spiders, scorpions, and small birds.
