Thank you all so much for commenting on the build video telling me what you want me to keep inside this ecosystem.
So so many of you kept saying mourning geckos & vampire crabs. The only thing left now are those trumpet snails 🐌.
But either way, keeping these inhabitants has been an absolutely marvellous journey and they really are amazing animals to keep.
As you will all know, I’ve kept mourning geckos before inside my HUGE almost 3 year old ecosystem and I can’t thank you all enough for being here.
What ecosystem do you want to see next?
I have a few AMAZING projects for the future and some HUGE plans for this channel!
As always, peace & love ✌️❤️
For future reference, _all_ frogs/toads are just stomachs with eyes lmao 😂
hey, we are starunion team, a game producing company in china , we have lauched a game called :the ants:underground kindom, it's strongly related to your content, and i tried to touch base with you via the email, but it shows that your email adress is abandoned, if you are interested in the buisiness collaboration, plz let me know,thanks!
This is so dope I don’t know anything about this at all but I wanna get into this and build something like this. If I could raise cows and horses I think I could take care of something like this. So interesting bro.
Thank you man! Don’t doubt yourself too, you got this ✌️
Get into it. It's so relaxing and enjoyable and in the end you have something relaxing and beautiful to look at.
I like how you actually stay really connected with each of your ecosystems, by keeping maintenance manually, as well as making sure the animals are used to you, it really shows you care a lot about them all. great video as always 👍
Thank you very much buddy & thanks for always being here in the comments man :D
no problem, I always try to be here :)
9:21 just letting you know that there’s thrips in the tank, a horrible plant pest I struggle with. I’ve even used mites as a way to get rid of them and they eventually came back again
Keep doing ecosytems my favourite videos on here
Thank you so so much! That means the world to me ❤️✌️
name suggestions:
-enchanted forest
-monster island
-rad land (because that set up is pretty rad)
I LOVE these suggestions, I need to get a Poll going soon and we can all vote on it :)
I think a few cool names for this awesome build would be; dream state, radiance, and silvanus.
This build was so absolutely amazing to watch and has turned out so great! I’m so happy to see a thriving tank! Can’t wait to see it develop further
Thank you very very much! That’s super kind of you, I LOVE the name suggestions - I’ll have to create a poll soon and we can decide on what we choose 😄✌️❤️
Fantastic paludarium! I love vampire crabs and mourning geckos so this really inspires me for a possible build. I would mention to be careful with the baby geckos though, theyre amazing escape artists and may be able to get out of the cracks of the enclosure, and rarely the parents may eat the babies. It'll most likely be fine, but keeping a close eye never hurt anyone. Great build!
Thank you so much for the kind words! I will definitely keep an eye out, so many people say the same thing that they're escape artist and despite me taking measures into place I still worry about escapees haha!
Thanks so much for watching :D
You know they're super excited when they go into your setups.
They could have ended up in somebody's crappy setup and possibly died early, but nope, they end up in the best possible situation. Nice work.
Hello, big hug from Brazil, could you make a kind of mangrove ecosystem with plants, for mudskipper.
I really want to keep a mudskipper, so this is definitely a build I will be making in the future 😄🌱
Much love to Brazil 🇧🇷 ✌️
Hi, I started a very similar setup, but I added 2 milipede species (i.a. Centerobolus splendidus) instead of the geckos. I have the exact same vampire crap species (G. Rouxi) together with trumpet snails and ramshorn snails. The crabs snack from time to time the ramshorn snail - so I would recommend these
Loved the video! I didn't realize vampire crabs spent so much time in the water and really appreciated seeing that
Thank you for commenting & watching too! I really appreciate that :D
If you are willing to have malaysian trumpet snails online, there are lots available there. Bundles of them up to 150 snails.
Videos great thinking of making my first pslidurian soon 120.60.40 this is definitely gonna be the inspo❤
The mourning falls. The hanging gardens. Vampire falls. Vamp lagoon.
I love these suggestions 😄
Love your baby gekkos! ❤how super adorable 🥰
This is absolutely amazing. Ive just got into fishkeeping and have a single betta with some shrimp as tank mates nothing fancy just some floating frogbit. I would love to learn enough to do a proper fully planted tank and also something like this.
That's really kind of you!
I started off with aquariums so I think you'll soon be addicted to other animals haha, trust me :D
Those baby geckos are just adorable.
This is beautiful!!! I love how diverse you make your setups
Excellent video 🤟. I would call the tank "Utopia" as it brings that vibe and values.
That's an awesome suggestion! thank you :)
Fantastic habitat!
Vampire Grotto?
Vampire Wall?
Vampire “Morning”? (Mourning)
Awesome choices!! I’ll put the suggestion up on a poll soon in the community tab and we can see which ones get the most votes 😄✌️
Name The Paludarium The Ecosystem Inside Glass Box
Keep an eye on those rainbows as they grow they are likely to go after the shrimp as well. They like to bite off the legs
I will do Dave! Thanks for the tips man :)
Making my own closed terrarium now because of you. Can’t wait for next episode ❤️
That’s really good to know! Thank you so much for your kind words, it’s awesome to know I can inspire 🥰🥰
would love to see you making one start to finish
Check my long form videos, I have all my builds on it too 😄
Beautiful!! I’ve just been given a 6ft fish tank and would love to have something like this. A total noob, so any tips would be great. Although your vids really help. Really interesting. Cheers
FYI: Dwarf geckos can drown in the water part, there are many reports about this on the internet.
I haven't had any issues, plus they have 3 levels/gradient to climb out. I'll definitely keep a close eye on this though :)
That's some great footage and voiceover man keep it up.
Thank you so much man! That means the world brother ❤️
This is really dope 🔥🔥
Thank you! :D
DUDE THOSE ARE SO DOPE
Thanks man! ❤️
Nice dude I'll try this one day
If you want some malaysian trumpet snails, just approach someone with a planted tank. They might have some, they're a pest, they reproduce a ton and are super hard to get rid off.
thank you
Can’t wait!
Please make more long videos! 💕
I’ll always do my best! I’m going through some changes at the moment so I will have more time and space for more content and long videos 😄
@@AntScapes1 yay!
Clover was a great choice because of its ability of nitrogen fixation
Name the paludarium “Valinor” after the home of the elves from LOTR
I love that! It’s a beautiful name ❤️
Another pice of art 👌
I really appreciated this comment, thank you!
How big is that terrarium? Loving the build❤
Thank you so much, it’s 45x45x60, it’s the medium/tall exoterra 😄❤️
An additional benefit to adding clover is that they have nitrafiying bactiria in their roots which can add a TON of nutrients into the soil
Exactly, plus they're VERY good for the nitrogen cycle :D
I THINK I would let the pets just be wild it would probably make them happy and exhibit their full behavior
Hmm, okay, I might actually try this!
Berry exited
Thank you man ❤
By the way if you have mourning Geckos take out the eggs because the adults kill and eat them. So put them in smaller tanks
Do you have any issues with grain mites? When I go high humidity they always seem to pop up
I am in the same situation. I read a lot of posts about it but I didn't read any good solution besides redoing the terrarium, which is not so good because I have glued decorations, isopods, springtails and it's too much work
I actually don’t bud, but I know grain mites can be a nightmare for some, from what I’ve seen it’s giving them humid spots & dry spots too. With the system being constantly humid I think it negates that issue but I may do in the future who knows 🤷♂️
I live in deep Florida and it’s crazy how this is in my back yard all of this stuff the plants the spect
You’re lucky! 😆
name suggestions:
-enchanted forest
Love that name suggestion ✌️❤️
Thanks
What type of snails and shrimp did you use?
Malaysian trumpet snails are a common pest snail, I have them in all of my tanks and would happily send you some for free😂
Oh wait really?! You’d make Josh carters dream man if you could & mine haha! 😃
@@AntScapes1Yeah i'd happily send them. How's best to get in touch?
@@tominomw8073 I didn’t see this until now! Man I’m so sorry, IG is defo the best way 😄🙏🏼❤️
Can you please make a large gecko tank?
Believe me, the plans I have for this channel are MEGA. Stick around as I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised ❤️😄
Dude, the hardscape and the plants are awesome, but the stocking itsnt that great.... For any aquatic vertebrate need at least 5 gallon or 20 liter of water, rainbow fish rather need more (they like to swim, a long thank preferred). And the most concerning thing, vampire crabs can catch fished, and if they wont they still stress the hell out of them, mourning geckos are probably fine, but still preferred to be them in a species only enclosure.
Thank you so much for the comment man! I do agree though with the fish, since I got the crabs a lot of people are saying that they can catch or will try chase the fish. I have seen them in the water area not trying to touch them at all, the shrimp especially, however, the geckos & crabs are not even close to being touched together due to the speed of the geckos. The fact the geckos are breeding is a good sign for me that they’ll be fine within the system. I keep a constant food source going for the crabs & the fish, alongside the geckos. But I do have a tank ready for the rainbow fish which will be on an update soon 😄. I worked out the water area volume whilst topping it up and theres 19 litres of water in total, I should’ve got 4/5 fish instead of the 8 group but wanted them to feel more comfortable in a bigger group. Thank you so much for the kind words too ❤️
@@AntScapes1 good to hear! You have very nice videos, keep up the great work
Do you have a video building this enclosure? I’d love to watch it
I do! It’s from a while
Back on the channel 😄
you should name this ecosystem as Luminous Falls
I love that!
Hi there, do you water your paludarium everyday? Cus i just setup mine and have been wondering how often should i water mine.
Im planning on starting a terrarium but not sure whats good animals to start off with
How many gallons is in the water area?
And how many gallons is the whole tank?
How big is this tank please :)
Hi
Hiiii! ☺️
How many gallons is the water area????????
I think it was around 15 gallons buddy 😀
@@AntScapes1 ok
DONT add trumpet snails!!! They will breed uncontrollably and take over that tank!
Thanks for the tip!
Sadly as I've already promised it I'll have to do it now. But I can add some assassin snails :D
Where did you source your vampire crabs
Are you from the UK?
Cool name: Paludarium Paradise
I love it 🥰
@@AntScapes1 Thank you so much love ur vids

Hi🥰
Hey ❤
Name one gecko Gex
I love u
Hello
Hello! 😄✌️
are you worried about the geckos reproducing too quickly and over populating the place?
Not really! Plus they haven't laid anymore eggs since the last ones so I'm not too worried right now :)
Thank you for watching my video (L)
@@AntScapes1 love your work ❤️ was just wondering since I'm not too familiar with mourning geckos
Yooo
Yooooo! ✌️
Guys I don't see the Gecko in the Thumbnail can anyone show me with a huge red circle? Thanks.
Also lovely video
Name the Paladarium Ecosquare or The White Flower Swamp (or Simply Light Swamp or White Swamp)
