I Built a Lake Ecosystem on My Desk
Үй жануарлары мен аңдар
In this video, I built a fully functional lake ecosystem on my desk. I filled the tank up with the coolest species I could find, starting with plants, and eventually getting to shrimp, snails, fish, and even more… Not only did I document the process of building it, but also the daily lifestyle of every creature living inside and how they survive. Watch to the end to see how it finished off!
Thanks to tanksfornothin for inspiring this video, go check his channel out!

Thanks for watching! Quick correction from the video: those fish are not neon tetras but glofish, I’m not sure how I got that mixed up. I hope you enjoyed, and let me know if you have any other video ideas!

Can you put guppies and red cherry shrimp in the tank?
Btw the Tannis are actually really healthy for fish, it helps stop bacterial and fungal infections and the fish like who like to hide more like it because they are hidden easier

The drift wood wasn’t polluting the tank it was releasing the tannins which are actually beneficial for the fish and add helpful bacteria they also stop bacteria and algae infections

Just so you know. Yo-Yo loaches can get pretty big, around 3-6 inches as adults. I’d recommend nothing smaller than a 40 gallon for them to be happy. Though the fact you mixed up glo fish with neons made my day. Though I hope you the best of success!

Thanks for the info! The place I got them says they were good for 20 gallons, but if they do grow up that large I'll definitely make them a bigger tank.

Those are NOT Neon tetras, they are glo fish. They are a species of fish that have a Glowing Dye injected into them before they Are born.

Thanks for commenting, I pinned a comment about it. I didn’t realize, I just bought a fish that is compatible with the minimal requirements of my 20 gallon tank and have no idea how I mixed up the name so I appreciate you clarifying

@@Mayfrogo It's not actually dye, they glow due to proteins taken from bioluminescent jellyfish being placed into their bodies. Like most animals humans made glow, it's to view how certain features of the body "light up" so they can be easily observed by scientists

they're genetically modified by planting a jellyfish gen, these fish were born normally, just their ancestors were modified

They don’t dye glofish anymore, they’re genetically modified.
We got adequate tank sizes, live plants, cycling before putting fish in, and good stocking, AND it’s the 3rd video they have made, you are well on your way to being a professional, well done my friend well done (Congrats on blowing up 🏅)
Depending on what type of snail you got can reproduce on their own, them being slow won't be a problem for long as you will eventually have so many that they will cover every inch of the tank

Mysteries aren't asexual. They also usually die if they do breed because aquariums don't provide the area above water needed for the eggs
Man I love you vids it’s not always easy to find a channel that focuses on ecosystems and uploads frequently so your channels just what I’ve been looking for so I’ll be here for a while:)

Tannins are very common in lake ecosystems and unless there is so much to the point where the water is pitch black it can only help the fish.
Educational and hilarious at the same time. Perfect
To watching your videos is really interesting. Need more videos like this.
WOW MAN. ALREADY OVER 50,000 SUBSCRIBERS IN JUST 3 VIDS? KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! YOU'RE ARE MAKING IT SUPER BIG ONE DAY I BELIEVE IN YOU

We call them glofish at work (I work at Petco). They were actually have a gene from jellyfish to make them glow under a blacklight. They inserted it to eggs and then they reproduce the gene themselves
You should really add a foam pad underneath your tank, the weight of the water, can potentially lead to the glass cracking from not having its weight properly distributed

Hi I’ve seen someone else say it already but I’ll just tell you for clarity, tannins are good for fish in general and simulate their natural habitat, for example for betta fish it’ll make them feel more at home and even act as a healing agent
I plan to create one for my work desk.

Yup. Just make sure to not boil the wood for too long about an hour should be fine. Because just a bit of tannins is actually healthy for the fish, and also it’ll be like 99% clear as long as you use keep purigen in the filter
That's an interesting video, this is one of my favorite ecosystem channels btw, anyways those fish are glofish btw not neon tetras but they're fascinating anyway
