Suriname Toad (Pipa pipa) Aquascape with Underwater Moss Wall

- In this one, I set up a proper 75 Gallon Aquarium for Pancake and Flapjack my Suriname Toads (Pipa pipa). These are incredible animals that needed an equally nice setup. I went with a hardscape focused design, but I also included my new moss wall technique. It's a great way to get a moss-covered background with minimal effort.
I wish I could have added the toads to the tank, but it wasn't possible for the reasons mentioned in the video and with my filming schedule. I'd rather not rush it just for the sake of a few clips. That said, I'll get them added very soon and film the whole process. Stay tuned!
Check out the video of me unboxing the Suriname Toads!

I'm so excited to get this one done. I was surprised at how many of you never saw them before the introduction video. I can't wait to share more of these incredible animals. Hopefully, I can you to love them too!
howdy
Your designs are so cool
I love your videos
This is probably my favorite serpa design video!
The toads are creepy and off-putting as hell, and also really fascinating. Great pets :D
They're like little amphibious pancakes
And when they have eggs on there back its like mini amphibious pancakes with popcorn kernels stuck in there back
@@scorchinggoat9589 little amphibious pancakes with extra toppings
No they are flat earth toads
Yeah one of there names in pancake!
I LOVE YOUR VIDS PLS MAKE MORE!!!!
Me: trying to afford a ten gallon tank for my pea puffer
Tanner: anyway, so I had to his 75 gallon tank just lying around
me too man
After you've been in the hobby awhile, tanks just coagulate around you haha. I use a 20g as a doorstop for my greenhouse lol. If you need help finding one check your local reptile/exotics groups on FB. Some great people in those literally just giving tanks away sometimes
sell your iphone man
@@gene_Code *Motorola*
Go to the dollar per gallon sale at petco so you get the tank for only 10 dollars.
I’ve only been awake for 30 minutes and you’ve already made my day
Me and you both. Also cool pfp
@@Nuhuhnwjs Thank you, its a Jungle Carpet Python which was what my first pet reptile is. His name is Zaheer.
Nice lie
@@q8gaming409 dang you really just hate other people being happy don't you.
@@q8gaming409 It's not a lie, my first reptile that I owned is a jungle carpet python named Zaheer. Why on earth would that be a lie?
I like this moss wall technique, it seems very doable for newbies like myself and less daunting than superglue.
The dragonroot arrangement is incredible! And I really appreciate the leaflitter, never even thought about it as an option, but it adds such a georgeous touch! Cant wait for the update with a full moss-wall
Same!!
Honestly you're one of the few youtubers that still puts their animal care above all else. You have a few 'exotic' pets but all of them are clearly well taken care of and you don't collect them like trophies. I appreciate how much love goes into each habitat.
I can appreciate your scapes more than any other person in the world. This is because you have the most natural looking environment for your animals. Some aquascapers plant their tanks until it overgrown into a forest, this does not look like anything you would ever find in nature. Don't ever change the way you do things, you have inspired me and many others. Keep it up!
not only is tanner a master at growing things, both green and moving, but he's also an artist, and has adapted his artistic talent into making stunning growing scapes. his canvas is alive, and he is a master at painting with it
I swear, the amount of egg creat, silicone, and expanding foam you must go through is wild. Your local hardware store must be in love with you lol
exactly my thought! His video titles and thumbnails make me watch them, but when I start watching them and I see how much plastic and chemical sh*t he puts in his tanks I feel like throwing up.
@@medicus4560 what do you expect? It’s not a pond it’s a tank
@@doofiddy and? Tanks by definition, as opposed to ponds have to be full of plastic and chemical sh*t?
@@medicus4560 If you're so opposed to it, how about you try making a tank like that without "plastic and chemical sh*t"
I promise you, it will be VERY hard
@@KiwiAndCompany You talk like you're some sort of expert in this field and I wouldn't have a clue. :D :D :D All my tanks are without plastic and chemical sh*t. The only thing I can't avoid it is the silicon which holds the glass together.
You should do a video of just lots of calming footage of your animals and terrariums
He did of one of his fish tanks a coupld months ago
Its so cute how they anticipate food.
My corn snake knows when feeding day is and is always ready to eat, and every morning he pays attention when I change out my rabbits water, cause he knows hes getting fresh water next.
me: touches a leaf in pond
leaf: *moves*
I could listen to Tanner talk about toads and moss for hours
I do find them incredibly weird looking but who knows what they think about us? So I'll just be quietly fascinated and in love with their new home. That scape looks incredible!
i’ve never clicked a notification faster in my life!
Same!
Sameee
me also!
Really......I could watch toads and frogs all day! I vote for more airtime for them.
Tanner is the one channel where I watch EVERY SINGLE ONE of his videos, and have been for over a year and a half
One of the best Pipa pipa setups I've ever seen. They may benefit from floating plants. It would reproduce their flooded habitats.
This looks awesome. The moss wall will look great eventually.
The background is a really clever idea, but if you want better coverage and a short amount of time I suggest you put the moss in a blender, spread the moss slush over the foam and leave it to grow emersed for a week or two. I do this with rocks and I always get good coverage with this method. You can also attack plants to the background foam as well. I think carpeting ones like Cryptocoryne Lucens would work well without taking up too much space. I would also suggest adding an airstone to the area between the background and the glass. The movement will allow the foam to function as a filter as well as a growing medium.
Pancake and flapjack is the cutest thing I’ve heard all week. And I’ve watched a lot of at kitten videos this week so that says a lot
I woke up to come see this! So worth it! Great scape for Flapjack and Pancake such unique Toads. ✌
Lol me two! I live all the way in Hawaii so by the time I wake up there video is already there!
They are def NOT creepy, at all. I'm glad you chose this kind of frogs to showcase.
Once again, perfect balance of what kind of environment best suits the welfare of its inhabitants, as well as looking incredibly beautiful. That is my favourite thing about your art. Thank you!
Man i have been in the hobby for 30 years and have done everything even acrylic repair using acrylic rods but you have even given me new ideas! Just plain awesome!
Really love this scape. I think it'll perfectly showcase these frogs.
I can’t wait to see the moss fully grown in ! This scape is amazing, I love the texture of the wood
Creepy and off-putting? No way. Pancake and Flapjack are adorable 🤗💕🐸🐸 Love Love Love the new setup for them. It's amazing.
I am so glad you decided to wait a bit; the tank is beautiful already, but I am sure it will be even better once the moss has established, and of course, the health of the toads is paramount.
I think I’ve binge watched your videos every day for the past week lol your content is awesome and informative!
I really like how this one looks! Love the more hardscape focused ones, I think the color of the stones and the green plants create a very nice contrast. Looks very natural.
Great job Tanner! These frogs were the right decision.
That's one of the most beautiful aquascape I ever saw.
I love that you're doing a full scape for these toads. So many people just give up with these impaction-prone animals. I like seeing ways they could live in a natural and beautiful aquarium.
These are totally the kind of frogs I would love to have. Just like Mata Mata turtles. I love the weird ones! I just want to ssay again that I love how you put your animal's welfare first. The scapes are designed around the animal's needs first and foremost, and your animals' welfare comes before your videos (such as the decision to hold off on moving them in). I can't wait to see these guys thriving in this setup. Best frogs!
Also I would watch videos of nothing but these frogs all day, sitting there. Hahahaha.
Man I would so pay for a masterclass from this guy.
Pancake and Flapjack are awesome names!
Loved the aquascape. It’ll be the perfect home for Pancake and Flapjack. Great job😁
I absolutely liked @ Pancake and Flapjack
I love it
Man that's a beautiful scape with thought and creativity!!! Looks so natural
i love pancake and flapjack,,,, im looking forward to seeing them enjoying their new home when the time comes! thanks for sharing them with us, too!
I'm catching up with my video watching. I think Pancake and Flapjack are cute. The home you have created for them is beautiful!
These have to be some of the coolest animals I’ve seen in a little while. Their camouflage is just stunning
I love how they take their little hands and cram them worms in!
Such weird looking little guys! I hope they like their new home 💚
Wow that scape is amazing. The moss wall with the wood. 👌👌 I'm super anxious to see how much Pancake and flapjack love it.
They remind me of mata mata turtles that have lost their shells! Beautiful scape!
Been binging your videos since yesterday and wow I love your work!!!!
Makes me want one or two! Pancake and flapjack look awesome
These videos are such a lovely eSCAPE from reality 😀
These frogs are adorably squish. I liked seeing them now that they have relaxed a little from travel. Such good personalities.
Looking forward to seeing that moss wall grow in!
Can’t wait for the next video
Tanner: i know that a lot of people find these creepy and off-putting
Me: :0 but they're so cute!!!! Theyre adorable little dudes!!! Who could ever think they're creepy?!?!??!
They’re kind of reminiscent of the goblins from Labyrinth... those guys were also totally adorable!
It's mostly the way they give birth, the female has the eggs inside of her back and the babies break through the skin when they hatch
@@oldworldradio okay, yeah, that is legit creepy!
Pancake and Flapjack I love it lol
Another great looking build. I love to watch them come to life. Can't wait to see the road in it. Those toads are awesome
Beautiful setup my friend awesome toads thank you so much for sharing God bless my friend
Tanner you should be sponcered be the expanding foam company!
looking forward to see this tank matured, with pipa pipa’s
Lol those names are perfect! Such beautiful leaf litter and stones on this one!
Fantastic video as always tanner! It’s been really rewarding to see your channel grow from only 50,000 subscribers and all the projects you can now undertake!
I feel like this kind of build would also work really well for an axolotl! Taking notes for future ideas...
Woo! Exciting setup!
This is a beautiful scape. I love the openness of the rock bottom and the choice of the plants with it. Keeps things open while also making it look full. Kinda makes me want to do an aquarium like that.
cute toads, can't wait for the follow up vid!!
I love the jungly look of many of your tanks but this is beautiful too. I'm looking forward to meeting the toads properly. 😍
you make building that tank look so easy lmao. You're so talented!
Every time... just when I think it looks incredible and must be done - you bump it up another notch or two (leaf litter). You are an artist. Total respect for your vision, ingenuity and the amazing little worlds that you’re creating.
I think this will be the perfect environment for em! Great job as usual
I think this is my favorite build so far! Keep up the good work
The scape looks great. It will be really interesting to see these guys in there. Hopefully they do breed. They're an interesting toad that you don't see very often.
Wow! So much inspiration in this vid. Loved the way that background was made. Makes me want to start a new tank. Hehe.
Looking forward to seeing flapjack and pancake in their new home 🥰
These are awesome frogs, can't wait to see them in your new design.
I love that your always finding new and improved ways of doing scapes
omg those guys are adorable! cant wait for the tank to fill in and im sure those two will really enjoy it
I love how you are going to wait instead of rushing to put them in.
These frogs are so cute! I literally smile every time I see their derpy faces 😍 And their names are perfect
I like the way u plant moss 😄
Beautiful scape!! And as always, so considerate of its occupants without losing a even a bit of appeal. Love your work.
one of your most beautiful set ups, I love it!
I love unusual creatures. These frogs are adorable and I could watch them for hours. You do amazing tanks.
Even though I have no interest in getting into this hobby (I'm a gamer by hobby), your videos are relaxing to watch and it is neat to see how your creative mind makes these projects come together.
These guys are so cool. I can’t wait to see how the wall propagates
That moss wall makes me want to buy and set up another thank! Very creative and awesome.
Awesome work my guy
Hey Tanner, you really improved your use of transitions in this edit! Really great job!
Tanner sounds and looks like Tobey from the office
These are so cute! Thank you for sharing and updating.
I love the fact you're teaching us in every video! Keep up the awesome work!
Are you kidding me they are totally trying to breed, look at that beautiful home.
You make this look easy.
Amazing build,Tanner. Thank you for sharing with us. You inspire 👏👏👏👍👍
They are awesome! I hope they do breed and we can see the eggs embed on her back. Totally the trippiest birth of babies ever.
They are super cool animals! Love the new home for them. I'm sure they will too! Good job! 👍😁
Amazing ideas which I look forward to use in my own tanks. As always a great watch.
You amaze me every freaking weekend!! Seeing your videos really keeps me inspired to do new projects, improve my tanks, and keep up on maintenance!
Beautiful! Looking forward to see these 2 guys in the tank.
I would love to see merch for pancake and flapjack.
It turned out even better than I imagined and I know they'll love living in it. They're not creepy they're too cute!🐸🐸
Really nice aquascape Tanner. Love the stone details and the moss background.
in my eyes, one of the most beautiful scapes I have seen.
