Creating a thriving environment for boraras merah in a 60cm paludarium

[graye]

It's morning now, and I'm running low on thoughts about Boraras merah. To be honest, I think the conversation has reached its limit - it's time to move on from idealistic plans to realistic ones.

When it comes to setting up a paludarium, there's a key principle to keep in mind: design the space around the needs of the fish, rather than trying to squeeze the fish into a preconceived space.

From what I recall, this is still a hypothetical setup for you, correct? If you're serious about keeping Boraras merah, I'd recommend diving deeper into the specific requirements for their care. Paludariums can be more complex to manage, given the combination of aquatic and terrestrial elements. This added complexity demands careful planning, especially considering the limited water volume available.

I get that the design of the paludarium might not be ideal for fish like Boraras merah. I understand your concerns about them jumping out, and I appreciate your honesty. I'm a beginner, so I'm still learning as I go. I wish there were more options for paludariums with higher water levels, but it seems like most brands, including UP Aqua and UNS, have similar designs. My LFS doesn't carry Bioscape paludariums, which I've heard are better suited for Boraras merah, with a water height of 30cm in their 90cm model. I'm still doing my research and trying to learn more about the species and their care.

Absolutely. It's early morning here. But I have no more to say about B merah - to me, the thread is done. It could become wishing, but it isn't a realistic project.



Not yet, I still have a lot to learn. I want to discuss the design of the paludarium in more detail with you. Unfortunately, my LFS has limited options for paludarium brands. I'll see you tomorrow, and we can talk more about it. I'm still learning as a fishkeeper, and I know I'll make mistakes along the way. It can be challenging to care for fish in a paludarium with no lid, but I'm willing to learn. My LFS sells these types of paludariums, so I'll have to work with what I have. It's getting late here, so I'll catch up with you tomorrow. Goodnight @graye.
