Paludarium
UNS 45E
Compact, Lush & Full of Life
A minimalist paludarium that bridges underwater and above-water ecosystems in a small footprint — natural stone, layered vegetation and mixed fauna, proof that the paludarium style scales down without losing its sense of place.

Planting
Pearl weed and parrot feather work below the waterline with anubias and bucephalandra on the stone; above it, japonica grass, club moss, homalomena, fittonia and assorted moss build the terrestrial bank into a small, dense jungle.
Livestock
Vampire crabs patrol the terrestrial ledge while neocaridina and amano shrimp and chili rasboras keep to the water below — a small cast chosen to stay in scale with a 45E footprint.
