I absolutely love this. I took in a bearded dragon a few years ago as a rescue, he came to me in the most generic and cramped tank you could imagine. I built him a bioactive vivarium as I thought it would be the best habitat for him and I found myself falling in love with building these small, contained ecosystems that none the less contained so much life.

I love how building terrariums is a truly living art, never completely done

I just found your channel and I'm obsessed! One thing I really liked about this video is you paid attention to the shrimp's hiding behavior, and you added the red root to make them more comfortable. You seem to actually care about the creatures you put in your tanks. Big and small. 🦐

I have to give you your props man. I didn't think I'd be interested in a fresh water eco system, but this is extremely cool. Might just be something I'd try in the future. Thanks for the inspiration.

There are several inches of snow on the ground so I'm binge watching to get caught up. I must say I admire not only the quality of your content and the build itself but how you respond to comments.

There are two main types of small white worms that could populate a freshwater aquarium. One type is Nematodes, which are hair-like roundworms known as Detritus worms. The other type is flatworms and includes species such as Planaria and Rhabdocoela. 3:07

Depending on the temp in your tank and if you want to bother with wintering plants and what other critters you will be adding, carnivorous plants could be a great option for the empty pots. Venus fly traps are a safe and easy bet, though pitcher plants and sundews might cause probs for smaller animals. Idk, but this looks awesome!! Good work, bro!

You are definitely right about the soil messing with the water. But to my observations so far, it has had no negative effects. The shrimp are thriving as there are tons of baby shrimp scattered around the tank. I don’t use a heater because my house is always between 65°-70°. I also only do water changes once a month.

I know I am super super late on this but dont heat a shrimp tank. Freshwater shrimp caridina or neocaridina are colder water species so unless your room gets below like 65 degrees it should be fine

How did you regulate your humidity? I built a similar tank with yours as inspiration, and my humidity won’t drop out of the 90s. And I only have half my tank covered. Looks like you have more covered. A lot of my plants can’t take the moisture in the soil/air.

You said you wanted to make a video especially for the plants you have used. Pls do :-), also about using this Dust Moss Mix. And one thing I am VERY curious....when you have build your background, which diameter of the pots you have used? 5 / 6 / 8 / or 10cm?

I love ur videos make more😢😢

I want to make one of these so bad. Ive been rewatching your videos to get ideas. Ive scouted out resources from local shops. Now it's just a matter of taking the first steps.

Man I want to live in there.

i really wanted to build a ecosistem in a tank but i wonder if i coudl instead of doing a foam backround, i coudl hot glue some wood and pots for plants and fill the rest of the backround with moss. do you think that will work???? thank you

Check out Microcosmos for answers hopefully identify that white worm. 👍🏼

Who is the snails and shrimps predator? So they don't overpopulate, is it a small lizard?

Quick Question: If you needed to maintain the filter would you have to dismantle the whole thing?

I wonder how a maranta would look in there. Seems like the perfect conditions for this plant

A plant suggestion: purple flowers😊

what would the temperature need to be on this tank? my climate is a little colder and i think i would need heating.

Do you not have to change the filter on your pump? How hard is it to do with your set up?

Just stumbled onto your channel. This is awesome!. I can see where this would addictive...in a good way :) Have you thought about adding a carnivorous plant somewhere in the tank?. Venus Fly Trap or Pitcher plants, maybe Honeydew. They usually thrive in humid conditions. But, they may also eat the tiny lizards if one ventured too close. Just a thought.
