 Advice?

O.k. here are my questions; if I used a 10 gallon would I need to do a paladarium (land and water viv) or just a large water bowl? also, planted or plain?

A 10 has very little room once deco is added.... A 20 at least is better....

Its very hard to answer your question without knowing the species you intend to keep as far as water and land goes....

Thats ok.... easily forgotten..lol

Pacman are quite easy to set up its more of what you would like yourself.

If you do a planted viv many pacman will dig up plants as they burrow so keep this in mind... You might be able to protect roots if you plant whole pots for instance into the soil... these can be 3 inch pots etc with slow growing plants..

Pacman are not good swimmers but do get large. You could go a 1/3 water to 2/3 land... The easiest way to insure good water is by dish slightly buried into the substrate unless your willing to get into filtering..

Of course you can get quite an elaborate set up if you have time and really think all through. Just insure you protect plant roots and water is easy to clean..

pacmans are not the species for a plaudarium. I recomend a couple of firebellied toads
