New Nano Fish, Mini Orchids & Vivarium Mushrooms
ฝัง

- I've been planning to get more fish to house with my Danio tinwini (Gold Ring Danios) for some time now. I was waiting until I could find the perfect fish. I think the Microdevario kubotai (Green Kubotai Rasbora) are that fish. The catfish are just an added bonus, if they go in the same tank. Either way I'm very excited to add both to the lineup. More on them in a future video!
As I expressed in the video, I love how there's always something new to see with this hobby. In a way, it's kind of like going outside into nature. I just don't think it could ever get boring! Filming for orchids and then finding mushrooms was a prime example of what I mean.
Here's a pretty cool video I did a long time ago that shows a timelapse of the same mushrooms growing in the old 125. Pretty cool if you ask me! • Video
Also Fritz Zyme 7 was provided with a paid promotion by Fritz Aquatics. It's not something I use all the time, but it really comes in handy when needed.

![How to make a Mushroom Terrarium[Real Mushrooms]](/img/n.gif)
There's so much that I'm planning for in the next couple of months and this video gives just a little preview on that. Thanks for sticking with me SerpaSquad! Also if you thought those mushrooms were cool, then check out this timelapse video I did a few years back showcasing the same kind of mushrooms in the old 125. th-cam.com/video/JRP-eOBx4KA/w-d-xo.html
Maybe the Mushrooms came from the Dusk Moss?
I don't think so. I believe they came in with the coco elements.
@@SerpaDesign OK. Just sayin'😅
Yeah it's very possible. Just need to inoculate the wood with spores. Takes a long time though.
Honestly, If you like the look of the anchor catfish, make a setup for them. A cool aquascape and a big school of these guys would look cool.
You should do a setup with just mushrooms
Working on it 🤐
@@SerpaDesign YESSS Im so excited for that one. Iv been suggesting it for a while now lol.
@@SerpaDesign Subbed just because of this comment.
Yes!, been waiting to see mushrooms in a terrarium!
Awesome! 🤩 Also - I really like invertebrates! 😁 Aquatic ones in particular. They just tend to have really short life cycles
The 180 is no doubt one of your greatest works... such a beautiful and natural scape! Keep pushing the limits with your builds man as a viewer its great to watch you experiment!
The stained wood cases makes it a much more pleasant place to be, IMO.
When you open the 180, does it smell like a forest? Like when you open a terrarium?
I agree! More like a place you want to be and not some kind of warehouse. Yes it smells just like the forest!
Your animal room is impressive already!
Right

The mushrooms were a beautiful addition! Loved that part! It was so cool how they grew in a tunnel like it’s the sacred zone of that terrarium world!
doing a fantasy-inspired tank would be really cool. I've been making sketches for a while for a tank that is based on a location in breath of the wild! It's really fun
ryan I was thinking how awesome that would be as soon as I saw the Link plushie on the stand!
@@heidik.9005 that's what reminded me!!!
A paludarium for newts/salamanders as dragons!
You should post on reddit And share the link back here I’m interested in taking a loon man
this is perfect when blazed and dazed relaxing.
I was thinking the same thing
Or blazed and glazed doing water changes and deciding which plants will go where, lol
I love that you don't talk like you're reading a script! Doesn't sounds like boring anymore! I'm enjoying your videos again!
Sorry if this sounds weird but I bet the scent of sitting in front of the 180 is so soothing. I love the smell when I'm tending my terrariums, so fresh and natural smelling. Having a piece of nature in the home is so relaxing for the soul.
You should try making a riparium with prehistoric plants and animals like triops and the resurrection plant.
Underrated honestly
I agree - it's super inspirational and I also kinda use for mindfulness of sorts! I will show this to my group of wonderful kids with special needs! They don't understand English yet, but to some of them it would probably be a great de-stresser! 🥰
Can’t wait for in a year when the room turns into a rainforest cafe. Your video quality keeps getting better keep up the great work tanner
Looks amazing I love using orchids in my enclosure builds
I just love the little anchor catfish! Especially the way they look like tiny airplanes.
Just a thought, Have you checked to see if those shrooms are bioluminescent? Try turning all the room lights off at night and letting your eyes adjust for a few minutes the glow is really faint but supper cool when you get to see it. Viv looks great! Since it appears that your viv is dry enough for Tillandsia you might want to try a Phalaenopsis parishii, or a Phalaenopsis "Princess Kaiulani". When they bloom the whole viv will smell great. You might even be able to smell "Princess Kaiulani" with the viv doors closed! Both are very compact without tall bloom spikes. As with all Phals be extremely careful about mealy bugs. I only buy Phals in flask these days.
Cheers,
Chris
Loved seeing the orchids in bloom, and the surprise mushrooms. This is my favorite vivarium of all the ones I have seen so far.
I have the same taste in colours for wooden furniture as you. My wife loves everything black. I found a compromise: black stain that will still be slightly transparent to show off the structure of the wood, but it's all shades of black. Looks cool, too!
Thanks Tanner, you have got me back into the fish hobby and I am going to try to get my mom to take me to the fish store after school later for my birthday.
I love when mushrooms pop up in my vivs and the isopods swarm them. So tasty!
Wow I’m early!!
I literally just finished adding a new background to my day gecko enclosure!
Omg 💚 I need a bf like this to keep all the plants alive for me. You HAVE LITTLE MUSHROOMS and cute little flowers 😍
Completely agree! The wood looks so much better done like this instead of being painted black
Wow, this guy knows his stuff and he's fun to watch and listen to. TU to him indeed.
Love love ❤️ your videos. You share your knowledge but you also share how much joy you get from your projects. In a fast paced world it is so nice to see someone who shares the ever evolving wonders of the natural world. A world that unfolds its treasures in its own time.
I love the implementation of vlog style and it also lets us see around the animal room as well! I think you should keep that up nonetheless always inspirational!
Thank you! Trying to do more updates without doing update videos lol!
Anchor cats are some of my favorite fish! I'd really recommend getting more of them, since they're much more outgoing in larger numbers. A friend told me to get at least 6 and they went from a fish I never see to a fish that will come out with the lights on no matter what time of day I feed.
They're great with shrimp, since their mouths are too small to eat the babies.
This is the best comment I’ve ever seen and I love your name
Tree friends!
From a woodworker: If you're working with wood that has large areas of soft wood between large grain lines (like pine), using a clear coat (often called a 'wash coat') before applying the stain will make the finished product look much better. Because the soft wood between the grain absorbs much more stain than the much denser grain, Not using a wash coat creates a real muddy look when stain is applied directly to the wood, as well as highlighting any imperfections or sanding lines more so than most people would like. The wash coat fills the micro pores and gouges in the soft wood, stopping it from absorbing too much stain. You can find wash coats under the labels "pre-stain" and "wood conditioner". Btw, despite any directions you may read telling you to apply the stain shortly after the washcoat, it's actually advisable to let the washcoat cure overnight; Otherwise, the stain can bleed into the washcoat and cause a blotchy finish.
I’m liking the idea of a dedicated setup for the catfish
I totally agree with you about the wood staining. It might take longer, but the reward seems well worth it.
Also i love how the mushrooms look so much like the glowing mushrooms in some caves. They give the illusion of a much deeper and more mysterious cave formation than it actually is. :)
Just Love your favorite terrarium, it is mixed with sooo many variety of plants and they all look so healthy. It's impressive to say the least. It's hard for me to have a favorite they all are so different in their own ways. You never disappoint. Thanks for sharing.
I love how you treat the animals
I'm kinda surprised Tanner hasn't found a local lumber mill and stepped up his furniture game with a planer. He's next level on everything else. I wanna see him go all out
I did not know this was possible, but I have vivarium envy. This is so beautiful.
That is so cool. I love seeing the live sprout out unexpectedly like those mushrooms.
Absolutely love the 180! Looks so natural. Can’t wait for the frogs to be in this beautiful landscape. You are an inspiration. As I downsize I can always have a little nature garden like this.
As soon as the Kubotais color up, they will certainly steal the show from the Danios! If you got some good quality and feed them well with lots of frozen/live food they will soon shine brighter than anything you've seen so far. I got some of them and they are my absolute favorite fish!
I have a suggestion for a 10gal tank - Pseudomugil gertrudae or "Blue Eyes". They are very small, gorgeous and the males make a beautiful courtship display.
Thanks for introducing me to the dwarf anchor catfish. I've got green kubotai rasbora - they're lively, beautiful and hardy.
I was sold some of these as "dwarf lemon rasboras" a few years ago i bought the whole school and they were amazing little fish, i wish i wouldve kept them when i moved. Keep up the quality content man!
Found your channel 5hrs ago. Fell in love. So much talent!!
Those mushrooms are so charming! Great example of the micro ecosystem being alive and well. I haven’t wanted a plants only display until seeing those orchids and mushrooms mixed into the scape. Great work, wonderful art ! 🌿🍄🌿
The Dwarf Anchor Fish are so cute 🥺. But the best part of the tank is the passions of the branches.
Wood is always good! Looks so natural and beautiful.
That little travel tank set up is super cool! Def wanna use that
I have a few varieties of jewel orchids and love them. I grow them in self-watering pota with sphagnum moss as mulch to keep the humidity up. I enjoy them as houseplants and am looking forward to seeing them bloom. I have a little terrarium on my wish list so I can grow orchids that require more humidity than my humidifier can provide. I have mostly mini phalaenopsis from the grocery store. I have a doritaenopsis pulcherrima hybrid that is a warm grower and blooms constantly which is great in a hot climate like Arizona. It's October 1st and it was in the upper 90s yesterday but the nights are finally cooling down until the 70s. I just got an intergeneric oncidium hybrid yesterday. It's huge and the flowers are breathtaking. I saw it at Trader Joe's and knew that I couldn't leave it behind.
Love your enthusiasm!
I'm green with envy...👍😍👍
I'm with you on the tiny cats having a dedicated aquascape. Maybe on the bottom shelf below the danios?
Great on the go / QT set up! Both of those fish are so wonderful. Neon Green Kubotai are very underappreciated fish, excellent top tank activity! One of my favorites for an active tank.
I agree! I feel like they don't get enough exposure.
@@SerpaDesign They are bright yellow green and periwinkle, what's not to love! You just don't see that top color unless they are loving their tank and happy! Not seeing the color in the stores, so less appealing to buyers.
So cool of you to re-use planks of various kinds. Keeping up with the low carbon footprint. And they're good wood too ! Cheers!
Really enjoy these update videos. It's always great to see the progress of your fantastic Art. The 180 has got to be my favorite too! Tankcou! ✌
Those dwarf anchor catfish look like they'd be best in a setup where the main viewpoint is from above.
your seemingly never ending creativity and enthusiasm inspire me so much!!
both Kubotai rasboras and the little Hara jerdoni are high on my list of favorite nano fish 😍
I LOVE your animal room! One of the reasons is the furniture. The pieces you have built are beautiful - the wood grain, the staining, the finish, all of it. You are correct when you say the furniture provides a beautiful framework to your aquariums and enclosures.
I’m really diggin that Mid-mod sphere planter/terrarium!!! Awesome work!
Thank you for sharing your mini orchids in bloom. They’re such fascinating plants! I’m setting up a micro orchidarium 8x8x12 and can’t wait till my plants get settled and start blooming!
So happy you are doing more videos with animals! My favourite content is the aquariums and paludariums you do!
Can't wait to see what you do with that Orb looking Tank!
That vivarium is absolute magic. 😍👌
Omg those tiny mushrooms are so beautiful and adds something magical
I agree!
It's the natural elements in both that make them really complement each other.
Those mushrooms are so cool !
Your wooden stands and enclosed cases are beautiful. I love med dark wood like the color stain u r using. It brings out the grain so nicely and fits so well with the plants and tanks of fish. So naturalistic. I could live in that room! Awesome. Lookin' good, Tanner! 👍🌿🍄
The vivarium looks very nice the orchids are beautiful 🌻
Great video man!! I can't wait to see what darts you'll add but I love your dedication to making them the best tank possible
That sudden mushroom cave! Whoa!
I want to thank you for your beautiful videos and how inspiring they are. I put together my first terrarium earlier this week using many of your techniques! Keep up the amazing work and thank you again!
Despite those beautiful vivariums and aquariums of yours I found the racks very nice! I build mine myself too, but when I will be moving in a few years after university I want to make something like this. They look great!
Man that 180 is looking gorgeous! I could sit and look at it for hours! Congrats on the animal room, looking amazing!
This is the first I’ve heard of Dwarf Anchor Catfish, but seeing them in this video makes me want to add them to my betta tank
I have dwarf anchor catfish, the biggest problem is they're hard to feed! My tetras eat almost all the food before it gets to them. I've started to use tweezers to put food right next to the catfish to make sure they get fed
I spotted the old vintage globe terrarium, I also have one that was my grandmothers, mine isn't as clear as yours unfortunately it has yellowed a bit. I'm pretty excited to see you do that setup!
Perhaps u could put some cork oak branches in the foreground of the 180 g. Its light so it should contrast well with the relatively dark setup, and perhaps u can put some orange, red and yellow sphagnum on it.
I just can't wait to see that new scape you're working on.
That room is amazing!
My local store never had green rasboras, very cool little buggers 💚😁
The room is looking really good!
Man your stuff is just flat out move blowing!
Hey Tanner, to help with mold on the spider wood, if you mix up a spray of 10 parts water to 1 part hydrogen peroxide (3%) and mist it once or twice daily, it should be all gone in 2-3 days. I’ve used this on a large scale and because of being inspired by your channel, I went and did some research and it is apparently safe to use with fish and amphibians. Peroxide has been used to help save fish populations in the event of toxic spills in waterways because it increases the O2 levels in the water and; in my own experience, it has helped with better root health of my plants. Thanks so much for all your hard work and beautiful content!!!
You have inspired me to build terrariums and make a channel all about them! Then I’ll have two!! Thanks
im new to your channel and ive been binge watching for a few days and good lord i had NO idea that you had built the shelves in your animal room!! they look so beautifully done and professional!!
Oh my goodness my grandma always had one of those retro terrariums you currently have sitting beside your new display.....I own one as well that I found and drove hundreds of miles to chase down . At this point I have yet to really make it extra awesome and I look forward to what you decide to do with yours.
They are kind of rare so hold on to it! I still have no idea what I want to do.
I'm working on something myself currently. Thanks for the constant inspiration. ✌🌿
I got my Kubotai over 8 months ago, and have never seen them at my LFS since. I love the blue shimmer they get!
5:31 You're making me change my mind on a center piece for my living room, it was going to be a reef tank but the vivarium is equally beautiful. So hard to decide.
you are so talented. I love this room. ♡
Tanner, awesome vid! Definitely a new scape for the Anchor Catfish! They're cool! Thanks! 😃🐟📹👍
For your tank with no animals you should get a hourglass tree frogs. They are super cool and would thrive in that awesome piece of rainforest.
I love the 180 its such a beautiful scape :)
Catfish tank will be so nice!!!
I totally agree with the wooden shelf, it makes things pop and it's just lovely on its own. Painting a piece like that black or even white ruins it.
1:53 is the EXACT wine rack we have in our kitchen!
Looking awesome! Definitely a good call making that stand, well worth the time and effort since it helps maintain the overall aesthetic of the room.
I can't help picturing Mourning Geckos in that 125, which do in fact live happily with small frogs!
I Love how microdevario kubotai look in a planted tank. I hope you have a lot of flow in there. They really hog the filter outflow area in my tank. Man, are they such little Divas! Haven't gotten to the end of the video yet. Looking forward to seeing how they look in there enjoy.
I would really love to see something done with the standing sphere
It reminds me of something you'd see in Sleeper
Thanks for the update 👍🙏✌
Love the mushroom part. very cool man! keep it up
Yo! Those dwarf anchors are awesome little guys! I'd love to have a mini catfish setup with them in it!
Cool fish you got there!
Your work is so beautiful! What camera do you use?
