Building a River Ecosystem for One of the Shortest-Lived Fish Species
The DIY project was much harder than expected where i built a River ecosystem with a Minature world beneath. Simulating the life of fish known to have one of the shortest life spans.

The Tiny Swamp Forest Ecosystem (100 day evolution)
zhlédnutí 547KPřed 3 měsíci
For the past 100 days! I Simulated A Swamp Forest, Home to an Endangered species of fish. I built an ecosystem that would maintain itself, by tiny critters an animals working together. I even added in the natural disasters that happen in the in the wild! To see how the animals respond and the challenges they face. #Aquarium #ecosystem Follow along as the tank transforms with no filter, and no C...
The NEON Tetra Aquarium
zhlédnutí 7KPřed 6 měsíci
I Made this aquarium with minimal wood and let the plants grow in to give it shape. The previous setup failed and I reused the wood and broke it up into smaller pieces and planted stem, plants around the edges. leaving them to grow where ever they wished. Here is how it looks after months of growth.

    7:31 is that a bamboo shrimp? If so I dont think it will live long They need good flow They do sift through the sand for food But it will destroy their fans if done often and they wont be able to eat until their next molt

    Thanks for Watching! Let me know what video ideas you would like to see next? i have a few more projects coming soon This was a tough video to make and the story was actually supposed to be of the fastest growing killifish reaching maturing in 2 weeks and has the shortest life span of all the killifish (N Furzeri) but the eggs were not ready to hatch so i got some more.

    A few tips about using spray foam and my experience with it. I’ve found that silicon is a more expensive but overall more effective method of attaching crushed rock and other small bits to the foam. Originally cutting out the foam in the box was extremely smart and made it easy to carve to your liking. However if u were to use spray foam between the gap of the glass and the carved faom box, it would’ve tightly and securely stuck to the glass. Love your videos! There really inspiring and teach me a lot👍

  • @fishmanc5357

    How did you make the effect of rain? By the way, you have a really good artistic sense, so much beauty. Take note that sometimes the sounds of the bird, your voice and the music conflict with each other and sometimes some sound effects are way too loud. But anyway you did a wonderful video.
