*I would love to see an Isopod or bug tank! I feel it would be a great change from the normal animals and fish you tend to create homes for!* p.s. love your videos! I find them very relaxing and it is great that you create these vlogs to keep us updated!
I found an orange isopod in my terrarium on Halloween, I was so excited! I started my colony just from a few specimans I caught in my mom's yard, all the usual dark grey and black so finding this one was really cool. I'm starting to gain a real appreciation for these little guys. :)
Occasionally the orange gene will come through. I recommend trying to find more and then selectively breeding them. I did and now I have a whole orange colony.
I'm excited about your mangroves, can't wait to see what you do with them. I'm also itching to do a brackish set up myself, and I think setting up a brackish mangrove swamp for some mud-skippers would be awesome in your collection.
I remember first watching your videos when I got my first reptile, a long tail grass lizard, and was looking searching for ideas to include in it's tank. Now his tank is full of life, I wasn't planning on subscribing and staying, but here I am. I am excited for what new content is to come.
SerpaDesign i’ve kept wild caught killifish and they never jumped out of their tanks...i did catch them in literal puddles so maybe they were conditioned to not jumping out of their designated home

If they have only recently been discovered, I can't imagine there are many in the wild. I would refrain advertising any animals like these as 'Pets'. as the pet industry is already a HUGE problem, especially in Asia! I don't want to be a downer, but can't help making people thing how these (or other) enchanting creatures got from a forest half a world away to an enclosure in someones house. All I'm saying is please be mindful of the species current wild rarity before purchasing (and therefore warranting a market for) ANY animal. If you read this, I thank you for your time and not just writing me off as just some nature lovin hippy but as a person who cares deeply for the natural world. :)
Micky Tootle well, I mean, there’s probably a lot since there’s 10,000 species, also. If they survived 350 million years ago, I’d be thinking there’d be a lot.
@@Shrekmaster-qc4ly this is true. But theres not been a mass extinction like the one humans are creating at this moment since the destruction of the dinosaurs.
These are likely being bred from cultures. Sourcing them from the wild simply isn't feasible to meet growing demand because finding a difficult to find bug, in large quantities, is--well--difficult. So several are captured and then bred.
They are also not supposed to be anywhere but where they were found. If they escape and start to breed in the wild in other countries there could be major ecological issues. There are major problems in Florida now with people releasing pet pythons into the wild, and they are eating the species that actually belong there. Carp, which people released into the wild, are destroying the ecosystems of lakes and ponds all over the US.
I love them!! I recently got into the hobby and I am hooked!! I started because I watched one of your videos and I went ahead and built a paludarium with isopods and springtails, after that, my daughters fell in love with these little guys and we've been making more! I'll need to find these now.
So cool. Those isopods are beautiful- both kinds. Your fish and shrimp are also simply amazing, and I can't wait to see what you jave in store for the new additions. Great work on this video, Its always just so fun to watch.
Hey Tanner, thanks for inspiring me to use that terrarium I've had laying around for awhile. It used to be for some Sarracenia purpurea, but since I moved them into a larger sterilite container, I can now create a mossy terrarium. Your videos have been really helpful in deciding how to go about setting it up!
Those are really cute. Thanks for introducing me to bioactive setups. I only have dogs and cats but it's nice seeing your various critters well cared for
I LOVE your woodworking projects... you do such a great job!! Love the idea of lots of smaller fish in your little pond and those rubber ducky isos are adorable!! gonna have to work on getting some of those!!
You could also get a figure 8 puffer for the brackish tank, along with guppies, bumblebee gobies, and ghost shrimps. The figure 8 puffer won't bother the guppies, gobies, or the ghost shrimps, though they will need some snails to feed on to file their teeth down Having a small puffer is like having a puppy. They are energetic, friendly, and they need enrichment in their tanks so weaving in and out among the mangrove roots will be fun for them. they are like little aquatic blimps.
Guppys reproduce like crazy. My grandpa has guppys and has had them for 40 years. Those things have been inbreeding so much they lost all their colour. That doesn't really look awesome.
@@snowball_from_earth yeah you have to put a little work into them to keep them looking good. Culling, introducing new bloodlines, it's not hard but you do need to do it.
Tanner I have to thank you. Your videos of how to make a terrarium from natural things found in your area helped me make my first terrarium. My daughters and I went on a walk through our neighborhood (mind you it’s summer in California and super hot and dry) but on our walk we found moss that was dried out and learning from you I rehydrated it and then found some small plants my daughters found tiny pine cones (but not pine cones) and we made the terrarium just as you showed many times and then we waited for a while and when the terrarium still was living, condensating correctly, and smelled like a Forrest floor I decided to let my girls find a couple little Rollie pollies (pill bugs) and we added them. It’s been a while now and I check on them looking through the glass and we get to watch the little Rollie-pollies walking around, eating, and they both have their own little homes they made under the rock I added for my hardscape. This has been a wonderful journey and I can’t wait to get my art/office/school room setup and painted because I will be making more terrariums and I will be putting in many plants all around the room on shelves and I’m excited to get wine plants to crawl around the room to make it feel more like my own personal terrible.
Yeah, I originally liked his videos because they had great cinematography and it was a unique way to talk about his terrariums, but it reaaaaallly started to get old lol
Hey! I've recently found you channel, and I'm really liking the content so far. My wife has been fascinated with terrariums for a while, and I showed her a few of your vids. Inspired by your video "Let's Make a Terrarium in the Wilderness," she went on a hike and collected some nice looking moss and wood and put together some really nice pieces. While viewing one, I noticed there were webs forming. I suggested we buy some pinhead crickets to see if we could coax out our stowaway, and it looks like our newest roommate is a Black Widow spider. Time to add some work gloves to the terrarium toolbox.
this channel is fun and informative what else can i ask for also btw you are a massive contributing factor in why i took up terrariums and such as a hobby thanks for doing what your doing!
When I was a child, a bunch of Isopods inhabit every corner of our house. I have no idea what they are but they sure are entertaining to watch. Especially when they curl up once you've touched them. When I saw that there's a craze about having one, I felt sad because I can't see them in or house very often anymore. But last week I actually saw one. It was almost as big as a centimeter. It was awesome, I'm glad there's still some left in our house after all.
My father-in-law had a pond that he stocked with koi. Unfortunately, it became a raccoon buffet...at least, that's what he thinks. They ate all the koi, several times!
Great video, (I didn’t know about the gravel on top and mesh on bottom for potted plant procedure.) those methods would be incredibly useful for when I plant . As for the water pond,- I would suggest some kind of aquatic turtle ( if possible) And I love the Rubber Ducky Isopods, reminds me of pokemon,lol
I love isopods so much (specifically giant), they're my favorite crustacean and I even have a life-sized giant isopod plushy I named Dorito! These babies are PRECIOUS.
That's an awesome fish choice! I have some of those myself and I couldn't be more pleased. I had a really hard time finding them though took me over a year to get them.
I started watching (like subbing and binge watching and not just clicking when you turn up on the recommendations) last week. I've always had a love for bug and bug keeping... but suddenly now I've gone and gotten myself some isopods and springtails, with intention to make all my bug enclosures bio-active to a degree. You've really bitten me with the vivarium bug. I was supposed to be into aquariums!
I'm a big fan of isopods myself, so considering that they originated in the water itself, I would choose some of the aquatic species. They can adapt to almost any environment, no matter how polluted! Please give those a check!
Looking fwd to see how you do with the Duckies. I had some either late last year or early this year and they just failed to thrive. Sad to lose them since they were so expensive.
Brackish aquarium is a great idea. I think that I would likely keep variatus platys in the stock pond or gold white clouds. Neither would really require a heater.
i find it interesting that we can so quickly get newly discovered species into the hobby. and that there are now most certainly more of them in captivity now then there ever was in the wild.
Came across your video just scoochin through TH-cam,I have never seen anything like these,you’ve learned me quite a lot of interesting and cool stuff,thank you! I can definitely see where they get their names,they are adorable,the grey ones kinda look like the woodlouse,not too keen on them ones but those rubber duckies tho
happy birthday, tanner. the isopods are so cool. in the summer i got a few greys from the wooded area where i live. neat creatures. luck with them. carmine p.
Omg they're so cute!!
eeeeeeeeeeee yellow rolly pollys they ARE so kute!! amaZing :@)
Yrs
100% cute.
They see me rollin
Well... Mmm I said the same. .... Aww Soo adorable ... I must say
I love those terrariums. I want to make some of them!
Go for it, you'll thoroughly enjoy them I'm sure!
!!! I was just about to link to Rachel’s page. She’s TH-cam’s aquarium fish expert ¡¡¡
Omg please do it!
This channel has been thoroughly inspiring for me. I'm already gathering supplies for my first paludarium.
at least I put some moss in 1-litre jar and put it under phytolamps, and it has not died.
My mangrove is to blow up, then act like I don't know nobody

Killifish for the stock pond? Buying the eggs on Ebay and raising them up would be a GREAT video series!
Killifish tend to jump out of their tanks without lids
My thoughts exactly!
SerpaDesign i’ve kept wild caught killifish and they never jumped out of their tanks...i did catch them in literal puddles so maybe they were conditioned to not jumping out of their designated home

Nice to see the growth of this channel since the original closed terrarium build back in 2016! Thanks for the content!

Rubber duckies are probably the cutest variety of isopods that I’ve encountered.

Do a brackish setup for the mangroves. You could use it for Archerfish (my fav), Mudskippers or Bumblebee gobies.
You could also get a figure 8 puffer for the brackish tank, along with guppies, bumblebee gobies, and ghost shrimps. The figure 8 puffer won't bother the guppies, gobies, or the ghost shrimps, though they will need some snails to feed on to file their teeth down Having a small puffer is like having a puppy.

That's pretty much what my thoughts were tbh (archerfish that is).
@@SerpaDesign Nicee ! :) Looking forward to another amazing setup you'll create. As always!
Mudskippers, archerfish, mono sebae, bumblebee gobies
Ooo! Mudskippers!
For the pond, I hate to say it, but guppies. I'm not really a guppy fan at all, but they are one of the few fish that look amazing from the top down.
That's what I'm thinking as well. I'm not too into guppies either, but I feel like it makes sense.
Guppys reproduce like crazy. My grandpa has guppys and has had them for 40 years. Those things have been inbreeding so much they lost all their colour. That doesn't really look awesome.

I would put a large school of neon tetras into the pond! I love the way they group together and shine in the light!
You're an extremely talented person, I'd love to see where your skill sets are in 10years. Keep up the awesome work!
Oh they are so hecking adorable! They have such cute little faces.
