    Hello beautiful people!
    I really can’t wait to see how all of this grows in and turns out. I do really think this has a lot of potential so I’m keeping everything crossed.
    I have another build like this coming very soon so if you liked this video, it would be awesome if you could support me by hitting subscribe and thinking about watching the next video too.
    Much love peeps! ❤️
    Let me know in the comments what you think I should keep in here. I’ve only added the clean up crews in so far, let me know what you think should be next ❤

      @@WelcomeToWoodland a very good suggestion man! I’ve had a lot of people suggest that recently and perhaps, if you quickly check some of my shorts, you may see we already have eggs too 😏
      BUT - the update won’t be for a few weeks, this is due to the fact I still haven’t decided on the water area yet either

      Do you know how much water is there? (Like in liters) I'm assuming it's small, so I'd say scarlet badis, or chili rasbora for a 18 liter and celestial pearl danios for a 35 liter

    Wow! I think you should do mourning geckos/vampire crabs because they are so cool! Another option could be dart frogs which would look really nice.

    If I had this paludarium, I'd add vampire crabs, mourning geckos, Malaysian trumpet snails, least killifish, and maybe a couple of reed frogs.

    • @AntScapes1
      @AntScapes1  Před rokem +2

      Oh wow! Those are awesome shoutouts, I would love to have the Mourning geckos, vampire crabs, snails and killifish combo, that would be insanely cool. I’ll consider this massively! 😄

  • @lukeday1777
    @lukeday1777 Před rokem +6

    This turned out great!!
    I would recommend a morning gecko/vampire crab combo. The geckos would leave the adult crabs alone but would still keep their population in-check by eating the babies. This is a great food source for the geckos, and the crabs eat so much of everything else decomposing (they are detrivores) that their population in the tank would never go extinct.

    • @AntScapes1
      @AntScapes1  Před rokem +2

      This genuinely is the biggest suggestion, I have really considered everything and I will make sure I update this tank in a few weeks to let you know how it’s going 😄 (oh and also what I decide on adding)

    Hi, just found you as I was planning to build a square tropical reef aquarium and put dart frogs in the middle. Now I think I'll put a platform in the middle with the frogs, tropical plants, waterfall, stream, etc..if I can fit it all. WDYT? Advice? I'll start with the reef aquarium and slowly build the paduarium in the middle. I like how your rock edges drip water. My plan was a 48x48 reef aquarium, with the island in the middle. The aquarium will be about 12-18 wide, leaving a 24x24 platform or a little smaller. I was also going to grow some cannabis on the island, WDYT?

    Loving the build. It looks awesome. How often would you do a water change on something like this?

    • @AntScapes1
      @AntScapes1  Před rokem +1

      I would typically do a water change every 4-5 days at first for the first month, after that it’ll be every week, a few months down the line it’s just the case of topping up the water level and siphoning the bottom whenever it’s too messy, that’s it really 😄
      Further on is better as plants are pulling most of the nitrates out of the water column anyways 😄
