I have recently planted my terrium. I have no clue what will be housed in it, if there even will be. I can probably convince my parents into a fish or two.



It is a gravel bottom, which, contrairy to popular belief, is easy to do. I have set up a waterfall and a nice stream that leads to a pond (maybe fishies in there. Its fresh water, about 4x5 inches indiameter, and 1.5 inches deep. Any fish ideas?) I will soon put down a layer of moss to make it look purdy, too.



To the point, I currently have a bromliad and a low plant shrub-like plant (tropical, of course) planted in there. If you know anything about gravel bottoms, you will know the water level is the same all around the gravel. Since the plants are buried, I am worried about them drowning. They are all still in their origional plastic pots. I was thinking of silicone or hot glueing the holes in the bottom shut, and occasionally watering them. It this a good idea? The silicone has been used throught the terrium, and is 100% silicone with no mildew stopper thingies. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
