For animals:
* Terrarium: This is a sealed glass container designed for reptiles, amphibians, invertebrates, and small plants.
* Aquarium: This is a glass tank for keeping fish and other aquatic animals.
* Vivarium: This is a more general term for an enclosed habitat for living organisms, including plants, animals, and even fungi. It can be made of glass, plastic, or other materials.
For plants:
* Terrarium: As mentioned above, terrariums can be used for both animals and plants. They are particularly suitable for small, low-maintenance plants that thrive in humid environments.
* Wardian case: This is a type of sealed glass case, similar to a terrarium, that was originally designed for transporting plants. It is now often used as a decorative display for plants.
Other possibilities:
* Insectarium: This is a specialized container for displaying and breeding insects.
* Paludarium: This is a combination of an aquarium and a terrarium, designed to create a semi-aquatic environment.
The best choice depends on the specific needs of the organism you are keeping.
