Abstract:
A combination aquarium and terrarium comprising a standard ten-gallon aquarium tank containing water, including a channel shaped band and channel lip facing the interior of the tank; a physically smaller terrarium having vertical sides, a top and top edges; and two rigid clips separately mounted on opposing top edges of the terrarium, each rigid clip comprising a rectangularly shaped tab having edges and projecting at right angles away from the outer vertical sides of the terrarium, said projecting tab having a flat surface that is parallel to the top of the terrarium and dimensioned so that the upper surface of the tab will abut against the lower surface of the channel lip, so that when the terrarium is placed within the aquarium tank, the buoyancy of the terrarium will cause the projecting tabs to abut against the lower surface of the channel lip, thereby fixing the terrarium in place within the aquarium tank.
