ah, I misunderstood. I thought you meant setup a saltwater paladarum with mud and such to make something like a brackish marsh.
Actually speaking of this do yoy know anything about fw clams? I used to have some but honestly just got them for free and kept them
I've been growing mangroves in freshwater for about 3 yrs. So far they don't mind.
I agree with others about getting clarification on "half filled tank". Seems like a weird way to describe the restriction. Usually they tell you the weight other than maybe tanks filled halfway aren't Prine to overflowing as often. If it includes fish tanks then half filled should be no problem other than you might be limited in fish that can be kept unless you were thinking of a reptile or amphibian enclosure.
Anything special for acclimation or anything for fw mangroveI've been growing mangroves in freshwater for about 3 yrs. So far they don't mind.
No, nothing special. I have the red mangrove type. From my understanding where they normally grow the conditions can be FW, brackish, full marine or fluctuating. They're pretty hardy. The only thing I find is that they need a lot of light. They start dropping leaves if they don't get enough.
Not if you dirt it which I highly suggest you do if you want a nice planted tank.
They filter feed exclusively, so need a lot of foods (whatever it is they eat) in the water column. Very difficult.
I put a layer of seachem floruide dark and a layer of stratum. Based on the growth so far this seems to workNot if you dirt it which I highly suggest you do if you want a nice planted tank.
They like somewhat "dirty" water with good params (good for freshwater at least). They are not very hard to care for in the proper tank. If you get them, make sure they are a tropical FW species that can handle the temps Vampire Crabs like.
My yard is kind of foresty and on a creek so I just shovel mud out of the backyard and it makes plants explode. Cap it with sand or pebbles. And as a bonus it comes with critters like pods and little worms.

I hate to be that guy, so I won't. But I will lol Darts almost never interact with water features, they aren't buoyant enough to swim and will drown very easily if they fall in the water. even shallow pools & streams aren't really worth it, they just don't spend much time in them & they are a total nightmare to maintain (I removed a stream from one of my old dart vivs less than two weeks after setup, it got nasty and leaked). The best thing to do would to add a 2" thick layer of small & large leaf litter that the darts can safely hid in without the risk of drowning or foot rot.
I know they do not interact with water features, they are arboreal frogs. Its more about proper humidity, and looks, while balancing the water so as to not pose a drowning risk.
