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!

    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!
