Not ideal. Cacti & Succulents cannot stand waterlogged conditions, so their containers usually have holes in the bottom. They also don't like still humid air which is what you will get in a terrarium. I'm not saying it can't be done but I'm guessing you will have a number of dead plants before long. If so, try putting ferns in your aquarium :)
