Paludariums: The Best of Both Worlds – Water & Land in a Stunning Display

What is a Paludarium?

A paludarium is a unique type of vivarium that combines both aquatic and terrestrial elements, creating a miniature rainforest ecosystem in a single display. Unlike traditional terrariums or aquariums, paludariums feature land, water, and air environments, making them perfect for showcasing a variety of plants and animals.
