Thank you very much much, this video was very informative. You did a great job explaining things and didn’t do any of the talking down to people that some other channels do which I greatly appreciate! Like I said great job and great info👍🏻✌️
Thank you so much for this video you just made my life so much easier! I want to make a paladarium but I had never heard that word before so I’ve been looking up terrariums and trying to take bits and pieces from what I could find. Great video!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!! This is extremely cool to learn about. I have always done aquariums (8 years now) and I just purchased an arboreal 10 gallon for my new helix pomatia snails that are coming in. I really would love to create a small BIOACTIVE (cool!!!) vivarium if possible. Doing as much research as I can before they get here. Excited!
oh my goodness I watched a lot of videos bout Terrarium and most of it has animals inside.. I prefer not to put animals in jars tho cos it feels like they don't have freedom Haha. If I want I prefer a baby animal to put in jars so that they get used to the place. Thank u so much for this! Now I know the difference!!
Thanks for sharing this information. I am craving a new hobby and this was a great help. I am sure that I will need your expertise going forward so I subbed. 👍
A Terrarium does need some water, not like a pool of water or full on water element, but just enough that the plants do not wilt. Otherwise your Terrarium will just die.
Well, you got something wrong. Vivarium is an enclosure containing living organisms such as plants, fish, reptiles, birds, frogs, insects... etc. So vivarium can be aquatic (aquarium), bordering between land and water (riparium, ), swamp (paludarium), land (terrarium), and for birds (aviary). Then you can divide terrariums in etc. insectariums (for insects (you can even divide that even more to formicarium (for ants) etc.)) or herpetarium/reptilarium (for reptiles). A lot of people get this wrong.
A terrarium isn't just plant only they can have springtails or isopods which are micro fauna that eat leaf litter and things like that. You also didn't mention that a terrarium can either be closed or open but in my opinion its not really a terrarium if it isn't sealed.
Im building a riparium, with a size of my wall. In the past i was thinking about adding worms to the earth partial, because its better for the watertransport in the earth and the waste ... But im affraid somewhere that it will become a plague on one point because they also dont really have an natural thing that kills them, like a bird... Did you ever had a plague? How would you prevent it if i did add worms... Keep in mind that the earth part is 80cm x 60cm x 60 cm (length x width x hight)
I've kept worms in a couple of my bioactive enclosures and never had an issue. However these were land only enclosures. My concern for you would be having them escape into the water area and die there.
If you talk about -ariums and animals, you should let people know that vivariums can be dissected into habitats tailored to specific animals such as formicarium (ants), herpetarium (amphibians & reptiles), serpentarium (snakes, duh!), Insectarium (insects, duh!), etc. The same goes for those terrariums. Mossariums specialize in moss and orchidariums in orchids (duh!), whereas the kinocorium focuses on mushrooms, etc.
Very good explanation of different setup's. 👍 It feels kind of cruel to keep this kind of animals in an empty space. To have a good matching environment should be a must. Iv seen a lot of snake, gecko, and Lizards only have a green carpet and a tree branch nothing more. I don't know if it is for easier cleaning. Feels kind of cruel.
By 3:00 I realized these names inherited the Insanity of the Human Species... So from now on I'll just refer to each set up as Tank with (Insert Name Here). 'Oh what's This? A tank with fish in it, Oh what's that? A Tank with a frog in it.
Not completely accurate, a vivarium would encompass all of these types of things (which are all types of vivaria). Terrariums are terrestrial vivariums and can either be plants-only, include plants and animals, or just animals (some of which can have specialized names like herpetariums for reptiles and amphibians). For example a formicarium (or ant farm) is usually an animal-only terrarium. Aquariums are aquatic vivariums and can be either animals, plants and animals, or plants-only. Paludarium and ripariums are hybrids between the two; paludariums can have a wide variety water to land ratio. Good examples would be a turtle enclosure with a land feature where they can bask (majority water), or a rainforest paludarium with an aquatic feature (majority land). A riparium is mainly aquatic but is attempting to recreate the environment of a shoreline or wetland and includes marginal plants. It's a essential an aquarium meant to house semi-aquatic plants. Any sort of man-made enclosure meant to mimic an environment for living things is a vivarium by definition.
Would an aquarium with plastic plants and rocks still be a vivarium :P People have different definitions/descriptions for these words, and sometimes it can feel like splitting hairs. Since vivarium literally means "place of life", you could make the argument that if an enclosure was specifically made to home some form if life, it's a vivarium, though it seems the term is most often used as a general term for enclosures for animals of general distinctions (aquariums contain animals that live under water) or more specific distinctions (enclosures for only or mainly reptiles, ants, birds, etc.). Riparium is a contentious one because it represents the marginal zone where water meets land, and tends to be defined more by the plants rather than the ratio of water to dry land. In other words, I could have a shallow aquarium and add specific reed grasses and animals to make it a biotope of a specific marginal area with no dry land, and it could still be thought of as a riparium.
Totally agree that words have flexibility to them and just because they're defined in one way does not make that the only working definition! Although I would still consider an aquarium, an aquarium. :) You're also right about ripariums being descriptive of the plant life as well but in its simplest form it's easiest to understand as a water ratio for most beginners.
I have 2 turtles, they are sliders. They are both as big as my hand and both males. They've been together their whole lives and are both getting close to 6 years old. I want to build an Arium that can house them both but allow them space to be alone. They spend most of their time in water, but like to get out and sun themselves, and/or dry off. The majority of their feces end up in the water. This makes filters work overtime and gets to be a bit costly. I'd like to build something bioactive, but I fear that anything else added to the water will become food, as they're omnivores. Any suggestions of how I can accomplish this goal?
Highly suggest something paludarium style! The plants will help the filter with cleaning as well. Watch SerpaDesigns builds he does for his toads and it should help give you some ideas since toads can also be destructive. Good luck!
Solarium as a concept seems cool, a box of displayed light, maybe made with different colors and intensities. But in practice we just sit in it and drink tea. Lame.
Viv actually derives from the Latin root of Vita or Vivi. Although viva does mean life in modern languages today. The 'a' is also shared with the root 'arium' so I don't include it with the descriptors for clearer explanation purposes so the a does not overlap. i.e. rip, viv, terr, etc.
@@PetsinaPawd Ya but thats the thing, your adding the A to "Rium" Rium is a suffix meaning Place, or Building. It's Not "Arium", it's "Rium". The A is not shared, your mixing the words incorrectly. It's not "Viv" it's "Viva", not Palud" it's "Paluda" your putting the A in the wrong half of the word, in alot of these.
Ah yes I see what you mean! Thank you for pointing that out. I had learned before that 'arium' was the proper root but after looking into it more I see that it's actually just 'rium'. The a does not in fact overlap
Hello, thanks for the video! I just want to know, is a Terrarium with a small river and some animals still called a Paludarium? I wanted to make a story about this but I don't think the word "Paludarium" is really that cool- I mean "Terrarium" sounds better to me than "Paludarium".
Finally i found something to show my wife, so she can understand what the hell i'm building now lol.
Well said.
😀
Lol
Lol, I'm having this kind of situation right now.
Beautiful explanation. I love how you went further and talked about bioactive and combination of ariums. Thanks for the detailed info!
Thank you. And please continue doing what you do. I was looking for clear explenation and YOU were the only one who could provide that 🙏
Thee best explanation on TH-cam
Well thought out video. It’s definitely a topic that gets brought up in our shop a lot!
I bet! Thanks for watching!
First time I got to know what they are and how the names were made. Thank you! Pls keep doing more informative videos like this.
Thanks for the compliment!
Packed with great information and you do a wonderful job of disseminating it in a short clip. Thank you!
Thanks a bunch!
Thank you very much much, this video was very informative.
You did a great job explaining things and didn’t do any of the talking down to people that some other channels do which I greatly appreciate!
Like I said great job and great info👍🏻✌️
This is a helpful for me as a beginner in scaping. Thank you.
You're very welcome!
Thank you so much for this video you just made my life so much easier! I want to make a paladarium but I had never heard that word before so I’ve been looking up terrariums and trying to take bits and pieces from what I could find. Great video!!
That's why I made this! Makes it easier to research!
Hi, I've only recently gotten into this but thank you for explaining things the way you did
No problem!
I have a Chug too! Thanks for all the info. It was very helpful.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!! This is extremely cool to learn about. I have always done aquariums (8 years now) and I just purchased an arboreal 10 gallon for my new helix pomatia snails that are coming in. I really would love to create a small BIOACTIVE (cool!!!) vivarium if possible. Doing as much research as I can before they get here. Excited!
Switching from aquariums to vivariums is always so fun. A whole new world becomes available!
oh my goodness I watched a lot of videos bout Terrarium and most of it has animals inside.. I prefer not to put animals in jars tho cos it feels like they don't have freedom Haha. If I want I prefer a baby animal to put in jars so that they get used to the place. Thank u so much for this! Now I know the difference!!
Glad I could help!
amazing! thanks for the breakdown! now i know that its a bio active riparium that i want!!
Surprised this video doesn't have a million views yet. It's literally "where to start"
Thanks so much!
This video really helps me to difference rium kind
Sure thing!
...wait, so my terrarium is actually a vivarum?
- always has been :-)
This was a really informative and yet simple to follow video, thanks!
You're very welcome!
Good job, clearly explained !
I mistakenly thought that a terrarium was something with reptiles .....
That's what inspired this video!
wow thank you. you are the cutest education i ever got
I'm just here to understand that movie's name, explains quite alot actually.
Yes, me too.
Wow, really well out video, lots of information! Just realized I have a vivarium and not a terrarium lol!
Hey great information video. A lot of people should watch this.
Glad you think so!
This helped a lot, I should have realized vivarium was life room.
It's always so obvious once you hear it
Thank you for this informational video.
You bet!
Very informative vlog about ariums, thanks for sharing.
Of course!
This video was so helpful!! Just subscribed!!!💗💗
Thank you!
Appreciation to continue your explanatory without burst out laughing after you said “throw poop into the garden”
Great video, exactly what I was looking for! Thanks
Absolutely!
Great explanation.
Thank you soo much this was very helpful
Such an awesome channel name! I learned a lot! ^^
It means a lot thank you!
Thanks for sharing this information. I am craving a new hobby and this was a great help. I am sure that I will need your expertise going forward so I subbed. 👍
No problem! Thank you so much!
Very informative,came here to know whats vivarium,but got a lot 👍
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you, great video. You explained greatly.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you this is so helpful!
This was very informative. I wonder if the internal "business end" of a fusion reactor counts as a "solarium"...? 🙂
Thank you so much.. You are very helpful explain the difference I'm looking for..
You are welcome!
Great info, thanks
Great video AND explanation. Thank you so much :)
Glad it was helpful!
Sorry distracted by the n64 cartridges you have quite the collection 😉
Thanks! All but two of them I've kept from childhood. Still works too!
amazing!!! Thank you for sharing this experiece with us
A Terrarium does need some water, not like a pool of water or full on water element, but just enough that the plants do not wilt. Otherwise your Terrarium will just die.
Of course! But what I meant is there's no designated pool of water on the surface
so what would be the generic term for a semi-self sustaining environment in a container?
would i just say 'rium'?
Amazing video ! Easy and understandable lol
Thank you!
Thank you so much for sharing this
No problem!
I’ve now learned the gigantic structure I’ve built in my basement is a paladarium
Neat. I wish i had a gigantic structure in my basement. I wish i had a basement
really informative 👌🏻👌🏻
Glad it was helpful!
But what is a reptile tank with a small river or pond being only about 10% water
Very informative, thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Great explain💚🙌🇱🇰
Thank you
If I have plants and insects would that be a terrarium or vivarium?

A lot of people get this wrong.
Yes! I guess I tried simplifying it a little too much. Thanks for providing more examples for others to read on
@@PetsinaPawd No problem, keep the good work!
Nice video!
Thanks!
What would you call it if the arium is 50% land and 50% water based for like....vampire crabs?
Paludarium
A terrarium isn't just plant only they can have springtails or isopods which are micro fauna that eat leaf litter and things like that. You also didn't mention that a terrarium can either be closed or open but in my opinion its not really a terrarium if it isn't sealed.
That’s a vivarium. She said that.
Thank You Very Much Madam
Cats enjoy a solarium… with a doorman 😻

I don't know if it is for easier cleaning. Feels kind of cruel.
Honestly it's easier to "clean" bioactive because you actually don't have to!
Can u add Ants 🐜 to ur Bioactive system? Why or why not ?
Nothing is stopping someone from adding ants, but they'd be a pain to keep contained.
@@PetsinaPawd oh ok 👍 thanks
SMART VIDEO :)
THANK YOU FROM ISRAEL :)
By 3:00 I realized these names inherited the Insanity of the Human Species... So from now on I'll just refer to each set up as Tank with (Insert Name Here).
'Oh what's This? A tank with fish in it, Oh what's that? A Tank with a frog in it.
Never heared about this soil and plants only terrarium. But the most annoing thing seems to be this vivarium movie. 🤨
Sol is also referring to our sun. Our suns name is sol and that’s why there’s one solar system
lol I subscribed before the video suggested it XD
what would a turtle need?
This varies depending on the species of turtle
in finnish theres only terrarium and aquarium so getting in to this was really confusing. :D
I hope you enjoyed!
@@PetsinaPawd well this really helped me understand more since English isnt my first language ^^
So if I add isopods, that means the thing is a Vivarium then WorcesterTerrariums is kinda wrong then

A horror film brought me here 🤷🏽♂️
Vivarium?
Thank you mam ♥️
well said
Now i know , your video is so much better than a dictionary.HaHa L.o.L.
Thanks, I tried to make it make sense!
So technically… Aquarium with fishes isn’t exactly aquarium, but vivarium?
Goldfish
😂 your wrong for this 😅
If riparium is something of a meme when your arium dies I'll be sad
I love this
Thanks!
thanks!
No problem!
If you named same of underwear clean crew that's help to buy
Two of the more common are shrimp and snails. That's what I generally use.
Riparium is perfect for Turtles 🐢!
Definitely!

That's actually a cool idea! Especially if prisms are used
What about one for 🔥 lol
Hmmm I'm not sure on that one!
Centapedes are preditors. I think you meant millipedes.
Exclusive exclusively
Its not the "Viv" its the whole VIVA, Viva means "To live", or "Life"
Viv actually derives from the Latin root of Vita or Vivi. Although viva does mean life in modern languages today. The 'a' is also shared with the root 'arium' so I don't include it with the descriptors for clearer explanation purposes so the a does not overlap. i.e. rip, viv, terr, etc.

But plants are living creatures 😳
They are! Maybe a better distinction would be fauna, not flora
ok, so it seems that plants are not alive anymore
What I was trying to say was flora doesn't count
good video but you CAN just throw animal waste onto your garden because the biological cycle is already their!
Speak in normal English please so that all can clearly understand the concept
What if I want to make an enclosure that has carcuses as it's soil and humans as the creatures? Is that like a Homonecrarium?
