Riparium animals. Vivaria or vivariums is an area usually enclosed for keeping and raising animals or plants for observation or research. Fish such as archer fish toxotes species can hunt insects on overhanging leaves. A vivarium latin literally for place of life.

While there are walking and shelter areas for land animals in paludariums such areas are not included in ripariums. The riparium we have come across recently can be defined as the restricted version of the paludarium. Sometimes a riparium is the most suitable enclosure for a specific species to exhibit their natural behaviour.

Often a portion of the ecosystem for a particular species is simulated on a smaller scale with controls for environmental conditions. Ripariums are like a mimic of a stream or waterfront. Scavengers like catfish and pleco do really well in the lower depths of the tank.

So the main features of any riparium. And the fascinating species in the rivulus genus a type of killifish enjoy jumping out of the water and laying on a moist bank.
