What happens here

The video then pans across the upper section of the habitat, showcasing a meticulously crafted terrestrial and semi-aquatic environment. This area is heavily planted with various mosses, ferns, and other moisture-loving plants. Intricate driftwood and rock formations create multiple levels and hiding spots, simulating a natural riverbank or rainforest floor. The water's edge here is very shallow, gradually transitioning from land to the deeper aquatic zone.

Goal: Exhibit the detailed landscaping of the upper habitat

Tools and materials

  • Driftwood — Structural elements, climbing surfaces, and aesthetic appeal
  • Ferns — Vertical planting and foliage
  • Live Mosses — Ground cover, aesthetic enhancement, and humidity retention
  • Moisture-loving Plants — Overall greenery and habitat enrichment
  • Rocks/Stones — Creating elevated sections, waterfalls, and secure resting places
