How Do You Make A Carnivorous Terrarium With An Aquarium?
Carnivorous plants grow in a mossy, moist environment and require sunlight and of course, insects to feed on. You can keep a group of small carnivorous plants in a partially open terrarium.

With the right materials you can recreate this specific environment and care for your own insect-eating plants in a home aquarium. Fill the bottom of an clean, empty aquarium with about 2 inches of coarse builder’s sand. This will act as the drainage layer for your terrarium. Insert a clear rubber hose into the corner of the tank for your drainage hose and make sure it is anchored into the builder’s sand. Lay down a 4-inch layer of peat moss, followed by a 1/4-inch layer of perlite moss. Mix the peat and perlite moss together. Place a thin layer of sphagnum moss on top of the soil.
