It's a nice set up. I hope it continues to work well for you (bacteria can be a problem in large waterbodied set ups). Are the species in the tank separated according to sex?

[De Foezel]

i dont exectly know what u mean
but my fish continu to live so i think its ok
i also have 1 good filter in the water and 1 pump for a waterfall
so its not stagnent water
and my snake like the water it seems
though he escaped once now

[Snakers]

In my opinion i think it looks cool but not enough land for the snakes

[De Foezel]

it just the smallest snake in the pictures the other one is my friends
he took it here to see if it would hunt
but youre right its not much land
but im going to change that in the form of a homemade waterfall
an some new shelves
grtz richard

[De Foezel]

but about the bacteria
will they effect the fish or the snake??

[gregmonsta]

The problem I refer to relates to cryptosporidia which can be a problem and has destroyed peoples entire collections in the past. Any large waterbody like this is very difficult to keep sanitary.

[De Foezel]

but if i clean out the water 1/3 per week its ok right?
im planning te clean it regular (each sunday)
i also have shrimp that clean the alge out of the water and alge eating fishes

How high is humidity you because?
Excessive humidity can cause skin diseases of animals. In conjunction with cold weather can occur quickly to respiratory diseases. The water content is too large and the country part too small. The bacteria in water can also cause diseases of animals

[De Foezel]

its always pretty humid but its also always pretty hot 20Celsius or higher
i have some rocks in the terrarium and they apaer very dry
in the morning there is some condensation on the glas but its gone i about 45 minutes
i also put fishtamin in the water its supposed to enhance the waterquality
and some of the willow branches properties is that it wil make the water some bit cleaner and take fishpoop out of the water for nutrients
