Riparium

Riverbanks and shorelines. Emergent plant paradise.

Ripariums are mostly water with plants that break the surface — recreating riverbanks, marshes, and shoreline habitats. They focus on emergent and marginal plants with minimal land area. Perfect for planted tank enthusiasts who want to go vertical.
