    New tall vivarium, suggestions?
    Mostly copying/pasting this from my post on MFK, but I'm trying to get suggestions across the board as to what to house in my new vivarium.

    I sort of ended up with an unplanned terrarium/vivarium setup in my apartment and I'm deciding what to put in it. It's 36x18x36 (LxWxH) glass setup, with a lot of cool custom fake rock in the background, and I've set it up so it will have a little waterfall and a smallish water feature taking up about 1/4 of the bottom, connected to a 10g tank sump. Will probably put fancy shrimp in the water.

    Planning on lighting and planting it heavily, but not sure what kind of fauna to put in.

    Originally I was going to go with dart (or similar) frogs, but I think it gets too warm in my apartment for most species, and I don't want to keep fruit fly colonies.

    So here are the requirements:

    -Can tolerate temperatures into the mid 80s (or likes it warmer than that, generally).
    -Doesn't require fruit flies or airborne prey (otherwise I'd try an orchid mantis).
    -Doesn't make much noise (if any) at night. During the day is OK.
    -Is OK with live plants and bioreactive substrate

    I know there are a variety of gekkos I could keep, but the large ones tend to be mean and if I'm gonna put up with something (other than the occasional BP) hissing at me, it needs to be a very unique animal.

    Open to any and all suggestions, though. Thanks, y'all!

    Crested geckos sound like something you might enjoy. They aren't exactly a mean gecko either.

    I might be a little late in answering to this thread, but you should look into whites tree frogs. Active at night and can tolerate a lot. Super fun to feed as well.
