The Tiny Swamp Forest Ecosystem (100 day evolution)

For the past 100 days! I Simulated A Swamp Forest, Home to an Endangered species of fish. I built an ecosystem that would maintain itself, by tiny critters an animals working together. I even added in the natural disasters that happen in the in the wild! To see how the animals respond and the challenges they face. #Aquarium #ecosystem Follow along as the tank transforms with no filter, and no C...
The NEON Tetra Aquarium

I Made this aquarium with minimal wood and let the plants grow in to give it shape. The previous setup failed and I reused the wood and broke it up into smaller pieces and planted stem, plants around the edges. leaving them to grow where ever they wished. Here is how it looks after months of growth.

    Those fish have internal worms so the adult fish won't live long and if they get to the young they will die they are called callalanus worms it is very hars to get rid of them

    Disclaimer: There's not actually a "predator" its a shrimp. Also the fish have wood in the tank so the female can rest from the males trying to breed. A problem with buying these fish is they are mostly sold in pairs. ideally it would have been 4+ females. The aim for the video is to show a fish that is not well known and only lives for a short period and that's one of the reasons they are not popular. Thanks for Watching!

    A few tips about using spray foam and my experience with it. I’ve found that silicon is a more expensive but overall more effective method of attaching crushed rock and other small bits to the foam. Originally cutting out the foam in the box was extremely smart and made it easy to carve to your liking. However if u were to use spray foam between the gap of the glass and the carved faom box, it would’ve tightly and securely stuck to the glass. Love your videos! There really inspiring and teach me a lot👍

    • @plantbox60
      @plantbox60 День тому

      @Tetra.ExoticsThank you! Yes for sure, if I was to recreate this or anyone else wants to. This is the best advice, use silicon instead of spray and I did think about foam down the sides but I had the vision of Sand filled sides and wasn't giving up 😂 but this is not the best method. I couldn't find much information before building this so I hope it helps Thanks for watching!
