Default New Vivarium for Fimbriatus

My other cage was too small (only 30 gallons) so I picked up a new one and decided to make it live.
It's 24"x24"x25" so it's just over 60 gallons.
I have Hydroton across the bottom (although I should have used a little more), then screen cut to fit over the hydroton, then organic potting soil, and plants.

What do you think? Any suggestions? (The picture only makes it look half as nice as it looks in person).

I would suggest adding several smooth branches that are 1-3 inches in diameter, that are diagonal or vertical in the enclosure.
The way it is set up right now, there is no usable space for a U. fimbriatus, and they will just stick to the glass.

Okay, thanks. I've been looking around for a while, but can't really find any-- do you know a good place to buy them? The one branch in there is a pretty good size, but you can't really tell in the pictures. She seems to like that one. I would like a few more though.

I agree with Andrew, fimbriatus love to climb the branches at night and thatīs just how they live in the wild so ad several branches in the tank.

Personally i think your new tank is to small for fully grown fimbriatus, i keep sub-adults in that size of tank, for adults i use at least a hight of 40 inches.
