Neon Tetras are communal shoal fish.. she needs about 20 mates
Lol, that's what I was told now I have about 14 of them and none of them go near each other
They are only in aquariums swarm fish in nature they are communal but keeping micro territories.
@ThrustMinecraft mah that's false information bro I managed to get from 10 tetras to over 50 from doing nothing and letting them get out with stuff
@@ThrustMinecraft love the blatant misinformation. No they dont, you can literally breed neon tetras in a plastic bin with coco fiber th-cam.com/video/SKWNyXCxBIk/w-d-xo.html
@@ThrustMinecraftmine wouldn’t stop producing it was easy as I didn’t do anything, I ended up with so many that my garden centre took them off me for a twenty pound gift card!
When I win millions on the lottery I am going to have a junglarium built in two rooms so I can sit and watch the activity in both rooms! I am very envious of yours it is amazing looking at all the little creatures moving around. I will dedicate it to you so any name you want! ❤❤❤
Neon tetras like that tinted water, becauswe it contains humic acid that makes the water acidic which it thrives in.
You should get more neon tetras (atleast 8+) as they are a schooling fish and would fit with your frogs since they are both from south america
I would stuff the fabric with sphagnum moss and then add the brumeliads
You really should get some more neon tetras as they don't like to live alone. Also they are very pretty to look at. 🙂 Maybe add some other fish? Like some Otocinclus or maybe some smaller Corydoras? Shrimps are also very fun.
Regarding the side walls, how about planting some Ficus pumila and letting it grow up the wall? They grow fast, look amazing and even can grow on glas, so they will have no problem sticking to the walls of the junglearium. 🙂
Ficus pumila is an awesome choice. But they have one serious disadvantage - it is super invasive and need been cut really often
These plants are so well cared and growing strong! As a plant lover i think you are patient to both animals and plant, this makes the plants growing so well. So appreciatted!
You could go to your local hardware store to get plumber's epoxy. There are versions designed to plug leaks and cure when exposed to water. Mix up a batch and caulk the back top corner of your utility space wherever you see leaks. For extra piece of mind, you can then silicone over the putty. It comes in a 2-part putty.
Also, between lizards, frogs and random wild spiders, having a colony of roaches in the Junglarium could create a mini ecosystem, with the enclosure itself producing feeders for your predators, and the predators breeding to keep up with the prey population.
You should also consider using expanding foam to carve and create rocks on the walls along with the plants so it gives animals more space to climb and looks realistic too btw love the work and collection petko
There is a method to make a nice moss wall. You chop the moss(maybe a blender can be used) add some nutritionus things like yogurt, beer etc. And add this mixture to walls by using a brush. After that, spray water daily (or if it is necessary)
Moss would be much better than bromelia wall
Katılıyorum. Bu yöntem daha doğal bir görüntü oluşturur.
I hope the roaches won't take over the junglelarium like the jungle nimf enclosure
Instead of Fabric in the walls, for The bromeliads you could use the moss glue Paint from bens Jungle, it has spores INSIDE and becomes Green and Alive with moss after a bit
Tip for the leaning plant:
If a plant doesn't have enough light then it gets tall with weak stems, prone to falling over. Check light distribution.
also, a lot of taller plants are semi dependent on wind movement to help strengthen their stems.
If you want your plants to develop stronger stems add a fan. Some kind of air movement will benefit the plants so much. I do not know how it would impact the humidity though.
Maybe you could also mount a grid or a net on the wall and add vines with bigger leaves, which could cover the wall entirely. Bromeliads and other plants could of course also be added.
With the dart frogs, it is formic acid in their diet that causes them to become toxic. So please be careful and watch to see if the ants become a problem again. If so, I don't want you to get hurt, Petko.
Have you thought about pulling up that corner,maybe spread some calcium/fine sand/plaster type mixture. Let it deep through and seal itself. Then turn into a new bottom layer that everything grows on top of? LOVE the videos, whatever you do!
clear tea water-colored aquatics are actually healthier than just clear water add a load of surface floating plants and you'll have a stern base for a full ecosystem underwater.
Frogs lare so awesome ,I collect everything frog except ones like yours.I do get a chance to catch wild tree frogs and toads in the summer in NY but I set them free at the end of fall in order for them to go underground for the winter .One thing I noticed though is a few of them in the spring do hamg out right at the foot of the porch maybe they remember 😊? Nice thought anyway .😊
Native ant colony inside the junglearium - they probably would stay within the grounds, idk if that makes the frogs poisonous though ? crickets or other beetles ? you could add some true spiders especially if they get an eggsac... Great work !!! long time fan
I believe he mentioned the frog poison issue on another video, but the ant colony would be sick tho
I like roaches as much as the next guy. But I would be hesitant of adding them to the junglearium on purpose…. I hope it works out. 🤞
Those metallic green cockroaches would look great I think👍👍🤗🕸🕷🕸
with slow reproducing species and a few predators around it shouldn't be a problem
Petko, the fallen over plant might be trying to go towards it's preferred light source. maybe.
Do you have a Lidl or Aldi nearby? They sell plants here in the UK and often have bromeliads. And don't forget, bromeliads will self propagate so you might be saying "I've had to take out dozens of bromeliads" in a year
@6.44 there is some Oxalis stricta (wood sorrel, looks like clover) in my experience I would not this plant get out of hand, they are rather invasive. The seed pods explode and they can spread via their root systems so you will find them growing everywhere.
Agree, it can be pretty but it can also be pesty and once you have it you have it everywhere.
whenever you trim the plants you should chop the cuts into small pieces and scatter them around the junglearium to keep the nutrient cicle rolling
@TheDarkDen
I think I've got a game changing suggestion : What about planting the leaves that grow roots, directly on a substrate attached to the walls. I keep this kind of plants and their leaves can be planted directly in soil, they will survive and grow roots super quickly and even orientate to receive the best lighting. Imagine an entire wall with leaves coming from it as if it was a trunk from a giant tree !
I think that could make this enclosure unique as probably no one has ever done that.
Hope you'll see this.
Keep the great work !
Love from France🇫🇷
vriesea erythrodactylon is my favorite "bromeliad" to use. It has sturdy foliage that isnt spiky, it gets to a nice size and reproduces well. It just looks so natural.
I swear, the frogs find your voice soothing. They seem to follow you lol
I'd recommend emerald roaches, they reproduce slowly and really look amazing
you could put some sticks or bamboo near that plant and tie it with fishing wire or something else that'll be invisible enough, then it should potentially grow upwards with it.
Plants are amazing. They can be so resilient and if you can find the right conditions they will really flourish. The roots have appeared on that lead that fell/broke off because a lot of tropical plants with produce air roots as well as wet roots underground. This is mainly due to the humidity in the air. You can plant an air root and it'll produce "normal" wet roots. So you could pot up that leaf and have a new plant in a few months 😉
Those roaches look like Gyna caffrorum (chrome roaches). They like a lot of humidity and multiply like crazy. They take a while to mature, though.
Looks amazing! How are the Geckos doing?
Very nice! Your frogs are at home now and have expectations of fruit flies appearing. I hope those roaches don’t take over. It was funny, hearing you talking about The Roach Guy, as in “Roach Guy Plants.” Your plants really like the Junglearium too.
I don't know if you can get it shipped to where you live, but maybe you can get dusk moss mix from glass box tropicals to cover the walls with, it's a moss mix with fern spores and orchid seeds mixed in.
I'd love to see some mantids in the junglearium! Maybe not the big ones (Hierodula genus etc) as they might pose a risk to the frogs but some of the more delicate communal species would be great. They'd likely occupy the upper levels and pick off any flying insects. You could mount a dish of waxworms somewhere and just let them pupate naturally in to the moths. Everything is looking great though - loving all the updates. 👍🏻
The plant that spreads by tipping over might benefit from trimming back, especially around the plant it is smothering. Some creeper (lol) types need trimming to keep their node lengths short enough to look nice and prevent their leggy growth crowding out their less aggressive neighbors. It may also be reaching for light, long node intervals and floppy stems is often an indicator a plant needs more light. Could be it wants greater light duration or intensity?
4:52 this description sounds like something else
Jokes aside, watching your videos is really relaxing and interesting at the same time, keep up the great work, Petko!
Would be interesting to put some crayfish in the water section, but they could potentially be a threat to the frogs. I guess you could put shrimp or dwarf crays in though if you wanted some inverts in there.
You could also use climbing plants as a background to diversify it with bromelia
Placeholder here is gone. You have updated your intro along with THE Junglearium! It's a good day for a Monday new episode!
5:40 "vegetative propagation" or "adventitious rooting." In this process, a detached leaf or stem of a plant is capable of producing roots and eventually developing into a new plant. This method of reproduction allows some plants to propagate and establish new individuals without relying on seeds. It's a common mechanism in various plant species and is often utilized in horticulture for purposes such as cloning desirable plants or creating new individuals from existing ones.
Add porcellionides pruinosus, they breed like crazy. It will be a good food source for frogs
Love watching this progress. Ecologically it’s coming along so awesome!!
About the tetra it could be Dropsy/ascites for fishes have a few aquariums and know if i see it , they need more mates to be kept healthy swarmfishes are strong in numbers but always have fear without them, thats why they gets sick could be feeding etc too of course but without mates its not good. Its one of the most common sicknesses and tetras are pretty sensitive to water changes or bad water in general. If u want to get something for the water section would take plecos/catfish some of the smaller L types there a various types and colors and they are pretty resistant to not changing water that much. And some of them love blackwater i think not that sure. Even had tertas myself and the last ones looked the same like urs and they had Dropsy/ascites im sure. If she dies in the next while u know she had it or u could do salt baths or use a medicine for her/him in a seprate tank. Salt baths are better then medicine because they are more natural but u cant do it with any fish breed, had a few sick fishes die a day after i put it medicine in my tank and didnt over dose anything. Medicine would also kill the beneficial bacteria in ur water section.
we need more videos about junglearium !!!
The new intro clip is nice! Good job Petko!!!!
I didnt hear a word about the little geckos / lizards you put in a few videos ago? Also all gone?
I can't wait to see this junglearium grow and develop
Petko, check out Black phantom tetras, they look amazing in the dark water like that!
Two comments. First, please give the Tetra a few mates, she's lonely in there and secondly watch out that the roaches don't take over. JMO but I don't think it's a good idea having them in there. Having said that, the Junglearium is looking great! 😁
Wait 2 more videos for more animals to be added? PETKOOOOO GIVE US MOREEE 😂😂 I’m kidding, great video man, hope you are well!
Junglearium is awesome! Thank you for your channel!!
Me and my girl love love you're jungelerum, we want to see more cool lizards and frogs, we love , the grean frog !! She is soo coolll
Hello great video information and updates Petcko
Your frogs are smart, they know you feed them.
I would add the fabric and then some sphagnum moss and then the bromeliads otherwise you need a lot and other plants can grow on the moss maybe add some hanging plants or smth or climbing
How about a paludarium for Dragonfly, Damselfly and water spiders(diving bell)?
Dragonfly larva are insane to watch feed... Love the tank!! Thanks for the vid!
That would be an awesome addition!
This is a cool idea, do keep in mind that their nymphs can be voracious tankmates and will eat anything they can catch best out of infinite attempts, plus they need live prey. I have seen at least one of them in my outdoor 50 gallon bucket pond this year and they're fierce ambush predators that will eat things up to three times their own size that get within range. The tadpole overpopulation in that pond cleared up (don't worry, these native frogs aren't endangered) and there's way fewer pond snails 😳

It's a little cheezy at times which makes it funny,
The foley crew went a little crazy with comical sounds....
i dont know if i would want to have an entire wall of bromeliads i think theyre cool but i dont think an entire wall of them would look very good i think it would need more variety
but if you do get a load more bromeliads look at aechmeas especially one called blue rain theyre very pretty
Something I should’ve said a long time ago you might try a sail fin dragon that’s a perfect enclosure for one
I love you Petko, you're ACE!!! 😅💚
There's a channel called Ants Canada, he's built something similar to the Junglearium have you checked it out?
Awesome Video Dark Den 😊
Those arcadia lights doing work!! 😮❤
Favorite enclosure is the one from ants Canada, but this is my 2nd favorite ❤
Hey Petko! Did you tried superglue (cyanoacrlylate) where the leak is? You can use it on wet surfaces too, because the water works as a fastener for cyanoacrylate.
Great video the junglearium is looking so amazing. ❤
Put a bucket there temporarily and then pull back all those plants and fix the leak.
I really dont get why you add roaches?! Why??? They will take over the enclosure.
Another way to cover up those walls would be to plant some ivy next to them
Poor lonely little Neon. Give her a friend, she looks like she needs it.
Thats how bigonia 6:03 propagates in the wild
Would love to see more tetra swimming around, maybe some nice snails and a pleco❤
cover "ugly wall with tree fern panels, then attach any plant you like.
What is the plant at 3:46 ? Your right arm is directly over it, the small bushy one. And it's in the right top corner when he picks up the frog. 7:48
Awesome video!!!
If you have small plants with only one leaf just cut the leaf, so the plant can use the power to grow new roots first and then start to grow new tiny leafs.
Love the frogs
OMG YESSSSSSSS Lizzards I can't wait.
2:20 business meeting 😃
Hey petko hope ur doing well as well as the wife and baby! I really really love that junglearium it's such a cool spot I've been wanting to turn a big dip in my room wall which was meant to be a cut out for the bed big enough for a king size mattress as well as like 5 foot tall as well so I will be turning it into 2 big bearded dragon enclosures for 2 big females 2 separate enclosures btw I am not co-habbing
Get the jewel roaches ants Canada has!
More neons! Like 20... and pygmy corydoras like 20!!
You can get test strips for aquariums that you just dip in the water
Do you havea night vision camera, that you can run when the lights are out? See if the Trilobite beetles are more active a night. plus you may catch orther animal behaviours.
I see you got a pitcher plant in your terrarium.
Maybe you should remove them because it is possible they can be become dangerous for your dart frogs when the plant become bigger.
Dart frogs are able to walk into a bromilia and also able to leave them. But dart frogs are from amerika and pitcher plants from asian. In asian are frogs who are able to leave the trap of this plants and use them for hiding. The problem is i´m not sure if your dart frogs got the same evolutionary adaptation like these frogs from asia.
You should liquid rubber underneath you can just paint it on
The jungle looks good man 👍
Pls give the Tetra a few friends. They're communal
every time i watch an update i have to wonder how do you keep the morning geckos from escaping there is a gap between the sliding doors and the holes for opening them
Wow nice one 👊💪
Just let the one plant take over the walls 😁 free wall cover
LOve the junglearium.. so very pretty and love the picture you post on inst gram with your daughter and your dragon
I'm worried if you ad new tree frogs they try to eat the small lizards or frogs.
No, they don't eat other frogs
add like a THOUSAND dwarf white isopods
Great vid, but I am thinking if the coaches overtake the habitat it will be bad, and they seem very fast and many in numbers
But the leak is still leaking, so it's causing a bigger problem in the long run. I think that's common sense. But it isn't my problem.
hope the frog and trilobites are okay!
That neon tetra is a fat egg filled female. They lay eggs instead of give birth. If she survives happily enough in that water to eat well and develope eggs then that water is ready for fish. Neons are fragile so if its ok then you should be fine
Neon tetra indeed need at least 6 of them but the tank is too smal for them couse they love space
Newts and salamanders would be awesome
Always liveth video3s Petho
Is the leak going to eventually cause damage to the foundation and possibly weaken it?
