**DISCLAIMER**
I will of course post another update of the vivarium. When we will see. But I will always post again for you who are worried!
Have a fANTastic day,
Nordic
👍
Can you tell me how to do such coll vivarium as your's?
underrated channel for sure if you did these videos more often i believe you'd be overrated
I recommend you develop an upload schedule!
Yay
When the world needed him the most he returned
Sorry for the wait!! xD
Perfect intro and so true!
Why would the world need him??
@@dean4923 just look at this video... The world DOES need him
@@dean4923 Bruh
You should add freshwater shrimp/crabs or even freshwater snails. They’ll keep the pond clean especially from toxic algae. Overall great video as always, saludos from California 👍🏽👍🏽
Saludos!!! Thank you so much for the input and for watching. Will note :D
@@nordicants6232 Yes, that will be perfect!! I suggest neocaridina shrimp, Amano shrimp, or ghost shrimp.👍🏽 However salamanders may wipe them out
Amano shrimp would be perfect. The females are huge
On second thought you should know that amanos will not re produce in your setup
@@kjohnston1881 I'd even worry the water parameters may kill them. They can be quite sensitive.
Holy shit, the legend returned.
I am back!! Legend or not xD
Holy shit, he really did
"sometimes he blocked the waterfall with his enormous body" hmm sounds like a Snorlax to me
Toadlax? Or is that not allowed xD
A petition to add a new Pokemon-
Toadlax. Type- water, poison.
Special ability- relax- is not affected by group type attaks like earthquake.
Attack- sit- sits on the opponent and eats it.
Dang it would be really scary Pokemon
@@sWooSH_wHooSH Love it xD
@@nordicants6232I have a idea for Pokémon
Name: maclaw
Type:grass
Special ability:dive bomb
It is a macaw and a crab mixed together think of a macaw but with many traits of a crab it's ability is dive bomb it speaks for itself this Pokémon is pretty common it mainly prays on pidgys
RIP Crazy ant queen, she was so diligent
And original... shall be remembered
The toad was simply too powerful.
Waaaaayyyy too powerful ;) absolute vacuum cleaner
@@nordicants6232 just adds more salamnders?
@@3Clod a salamenders army :)
@@a_wolf8889 if 2 salamanders aren't enough and 1 toad is too much, I think 2 more might suffice
@@3Clod toad is invincible
Finally the nan is back
The best fire salamander footage on the web. An hour long documentary flew right by. That's some quality stuff my friend!
Oh thank you so much for this man!!
One of the best tanks in the world , love it
I'm very impressed by the self-contained ecosystem you've created. Have you ever had a major setback with it? I just found a bunch of mites in my 10 gallon terrarium and I'm afraid it's a death sentence for the current inhabitants.
Well the unhealthy pillbug increase definitely was a setback! Then I fear their immense decline because of the toad too. For the mites in your vivarium I am very sorry! Is you vivarium diverse enough? With dryer and wetter areas filled with either wood or stones etc? Diversification of environment always help with these kind of issues
Hypoaspis mites kill Fungus gnats, but they also kill springtails, so keep a colony of springtails on the side while you get rid of the fungus gnat and mite population :)
@@nordicants6232 put
Fight mite with mite
@@jasonp69420 you know what they say…mite is right
The Putin over the baby spider saying he will rule the world is hilariously relevant now.
I love how the little snek eats. Politely takes a bite. No need to be fast with a worm. He's super cute and needs a name!
A distinguished gentleman, indeed.
JOE AND THE SNAKE IS BREWSTER
He is actually a glass lizard aka glass snake. Super cute lizard snake hybrid. Looks like a "Burt" to me
I think wanting to see the evolution of a great vivarium where a tadpole turns into a massive toad and when salamanders come together and mate or ant colonies come side by side in piece or when slime molds breath or small acorn ants forage and so much more is oddly specific
Indeed. But I only want a specific audience ;)
@@nordicants6232 and you got em !
Definitely would recommend adding more aquatic life such as filter/bottom feeders in your vivarium. Creatures like shrimp, oysters, and snails that’ll help keep the waters clean. Tho if you do that I’d recommend adding more decorations and aquatic plant life, especially grasses, to make the animals feel more comfortable and give them places to graze and hide. If you’re feeling bold enough you could even add a predator to your waters such as a crayfish, but that’s up to you as it might compete with your salamanders if they ever decide to enter the water.
*Overall great video! Very entertaining to watch and follow the full story of this vivarium.*
I think everything he gets in it is natural so adding a predator will mess up it
@@mindofhoes5821 that doesn't make sense though, it's not natural at all without predators... You can't have a functioning ecosystem without them, and those salamanders are predators themselves.
@@mindofhoes5821 he adds his own stuff too.
9:57 The flies are Fungus Gnats.
19:36 Looks like it might be a tiger worm.
The Leopard slugs are my favorite species in your vivarium. It was cool to see them breed inside an enclosed space. It was also amazing to see it survive the salamander attack. I'd love to see you capture a video of them hunting prey. (They hunt other slugs.)
That would be really epic!! Love your videos Jartopia
I thought it was a red wiggler i have them for worm casting and they look exactly like that
Hi not expecting u to show up (:
crossover
@@nordicants6232 tŕ
This is a very visual and great reminder that all species of life on earth really do depend on one another in some form or another, from tiny to massive. Our ecosystem is precious, and destroying it can have dire consequences (esp. for those further up the chain... like, humans.)
Really cool to watch, gorgeous environment. If I had the funds and the know how, id love to do this type of thing.
Exactly!! Thank you so much for the comment. Truly right :D
Duuuuuh
I'm starting my very own giant terrarium inspired by yours. So far it has baby crickets,wolf spider, wooly bear caterpillar,isopods,springtails,rando mites,house centipede,small slugs,small snails,ground beetles,Eastern bark centipede. As far as I know so far
Thats a lot of bugs!!! Damn very cool. What biome is it inspired by? What country? Sounds epic
Kool
@@nordicants6232 it's the us
It has 3 sections
Left side is very dry and filled with rocks
Middle is heavily planted with a log to hide under
Right side has 1 plant and s few branches to represent trees
Mites might be a big problem in your vivarium, be careful
@@nordicants6232 are you gonna place anymore amphibians mostly toads or frogs because that big one was doing pretty well in there or was it doing to well?
nordic ant's vivarium videos are very different than a lot of the other vivarium videos out there and i really wish there was more of it. so many videos are about either making the vivarium or how it looks or the specific animals and plants added but nordic is the only one ive seen doing videos which really show the biologic processes that go on inside the micro-environment.
It's really inspiring me to create my own after a couple of years of learning
He's back!!
Also, I recommend having a crayfish.
I was wondering where you disappeared to since YT stopped recommending me all your videos since I've watched them all, but man this is a blessing. Thank you for doing these, they're so creative and interesting and I just love watching them and having them in the background. How often does the Spring Tail/ Pill Bug population explode and overgrow? Do you just introduce a toad and then release it after the population stabilizes?
Thank you soso much!! And they usually overgrow when there isnt enough ants or other predators. For the toad this was a first, but hey it worked!! :D
hell yeh the king is back
Best youtube channel.
Thank you so much!! Will really up my game as much as I can :-)
Great to have you back
I wanted to watch it for a couple of mins but ended up staying for the whole duration! Extremely riveting and rivals anything on the mainstream media! Excellent editing and capturing of the most epic moments in your mini ecosystem! Brilliant Stuff!!!
Omg thank you soso much for commenting this! Really makes my day to hear this :D all the best
THE LEGEND IS BACK
THE RETURN OF THE KING!
I watched your full vivarium movie. It helped my depression. Thanks, quite an interesting video.
It all about the small things in life ..
So happy
The idea of having a perfectly natural looking ecosystem with a large variety of animals in a large glass tank, is the greatest thing ever to me.
After a long time
A world in miniature. Well done sir.
Yeah - i was waiting for this ages
Probably the best animal documentary I've ever seen, thanks a lot for this masterpiece, I loved every minute 💚
Thank you so much!!
ua-cam.com/video/ZXerHKJLw1I/v-deo.html UConn documentary on Army Ants is amazing. It's the most thorough documentary I've ever seen.
The King is back
47:47
From being all alone in an all you can eat buffet...
To being stranded in a Popeyes IN THE HOOD and that sandwich just came out 😱👌
OMFG YOURE BACK
I started my own giant vivarium inspired by yours, and it’s doing great! Thanks for documenting yours.
Me too!!!!
I am so glad to hear this you guys!! What cool species do you have inside?? :o
@@nordicants6232 Lots of things. I’m in the northern US, so it’s a bit different from yours, but mostly similar species. I have several types of springtails, some isopods, lots of snails, slugs, and millipedes, American toads, lots of little spiders, harvestmen, dubia roaches, beetles, centipedes, and I don’t even know what else. I’m using mostly tropical plants, but I’ve added wild moss and leaf litter, and there’s a huge rotten tree trunk there too. I hope to add ants soon as well. All my colonies are still tiny though, so I’ll wait a while before I do. It’s still a very young vivarium, and the animals haven’t gotten fully established yet, but it’s off to a great start!
That is so amazing!!! Please if you want email photos or so to nordic.ants@gmail.com :D
@@nordicants6232 is the forum officially gone now
I think this "snake" is not a snake. It's actually a lizard with no legs. They are awesome.
Slow-worm
I wish I could have a vivarium like that some day
Its a Bangaldesh lmao
@@loadeddiaper4216 what Bangladesh?
@@Apple-ei1ms NVM he mentioned that in the beginning of the video, it was a joke
He has not posted in 2 years when I saw this vid I actually had a tear in my eye
:,) much love ma man
So what's the next vid?
He is back
Heyyy my termite friend!!!
@@nordicants6232 Hello, hope you put a lot termites in this one jk unless...
Tryna get some actually for next year ;) we will see
@@nordicants6232 :) Happy at least that you are back
I love the way you record. The way stuff is filmed is perfect.
Thank you so much!! Appreciated
This tickles my brain in the right spot.
HE AWAKENED!!
Wonderful to have an update. I know you are a real hooman with a life, but your videos are amazing. Post all you can. We will wait.
Thank you so much dear hooman!! Really appreciated and keeps me going. See you for the next video :D
are my eyes deceiving me!? HE'S BACK!
Heloooooo
One of the only videos that I watched without looking at my phone once. Amazing work👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Im so exited! I *love* biology and nature, this channel is such a goldmine imo!
Awww thanks man!!
This is just awesome. I mean many of the small animals usually are not that intereting as such. If i want to see a pillbug, i just go outside and lift a stone in the garden. But seeing you trying to achieve balance in a semi closed system is bloody fascinating! Because here you really see the cooperation of all the different species of bugs and critters that run mother nature. Everyone knows what happens with food that you just leave outside. But you managed to make it interesting. Great video, keep it up!
he has returned when everyone needed him
You should use a pond to separate two different sides of a vivarium. You could contain certain species on either side. Praying mantids are everywhere and are always interesting. Crayfish, shrimp and chameleons too
Not sure if anyone has ID'd them for you yet, but the slime molds at the end were chocolate tube slimes (*Stemonitis splendens*). The coco-y powder along the strands formed after the slime dried out (sporangia) are the spores. Very neat to see them forming!
He's back! We missed you buddy😁😁
I missed you!
Finally
I check for new videos and rewatch your old vivarium videos all the time for years now thank you
Thank you sm! :D
He finally come back !
I have a few questions.
1) Did you have the whole terarium made out of glass or did you have mesh anywhere?
2) How did you keep the bugs in if you had to open the terarium for the camera?
3) What lights do you use? Just normal led lights so you can see or UVB lights?
4) How big actually is the terarium?
5)Do you have the terarium inside of your house or outside? If inside in what room?
Those are all for now. I hope you'll answer. It would really help me build my own. Thank you, amazing video!
Underrated
You are what matters! Just love reading your comments :D
I like the “Jartopia” channel style where there is no talking and he actually just shows the different species in his terrariums with the name and description.
So we can focus on the wildlife and not a loud narrator.
As someone who absolutely adores macrophotography and invertebrates in general I am glad this video ended up in my feed. I wish I had the time and resources to set up vivariums on the scale that you do as it is one of my passions and like so many other ant channels, your brand of humor is nice, too! You did a remarkable job with the size and scale of this vivarium.
Thank you so much!! Hope watching my videos helps a bit :D I hope you will manage to build one of these sometime!
@@nordicants6232 I busy myself for now going on trips to do macro where I can and have some jar terrariums but nothing bioactive yet, beyond two planted aquariums. But my SO and I are looking into buying our first home soon and then, then I have options!
OMFG your back I thought you were gone for good. I have created my own vivarium inspired by you! Great to have you back. Please stay now, we all need you!
Whatever happens, I will always come back :D thank you so much
I don’t know how I haven’t stumbled across your channel before. Man you’re hilarious, and a pretty compelling storyteller
Thank you so much!!
This is too cool.. and it inspired me to get started on my own vivarium! (With extensive research of course). Thanks so much for sharing..you rock. The way you talk is soothing and really entertaining to listen to as well. Loved your funny comments. Your personality came through a lot!!
Thank you so much!!
finally! i've been waiting soo long
Sorry :(
I was not expecting much from this video I stumbled upon, but it was surprisingly entertaining and well made. Thank you for this content!
It is genuinely a dream of mine to have a vivarium like this! Thank you for this video
Thank you for watching
Thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you all involved making this
YEES YEES I’ve been waiting for this
:D me too, longing for updating so much
Such an epic project. Well worth the wait between uploads.
probably the best vivarium content in the whole wbsite, thank you so much !!
Thank you for watching!!
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO the aquatic additions are awesome !
Oh yes I loved them!! Especially the tadpole
Loved the video! So different from the way similar creators go about it.. was awesome seeing all the work and time that went into this! Keep up the awesome stuff :)
So happy to see you back.
I could watch these videos all day. Thanks for the awesome content!
This is exactly what I’ve been searching for! Thank you so much for sharing!!
A truly amazing project. So glad you documented it so well!
6:47 hitting really hard now
what an amazing environment youve created, id love to see another update one day.
I think it would be really cool to add maybe any of these;
Dragonflies, tree frogs, blood worms, shad (small fish), stag beetles, assassin bugs, cicadas, grasshopper/crickets, venus fly traps, preying mantis, stick bugs, land snails/underwater snails, mini catfish for underwater cleanups, if you really wanna get crazy, a freshwater stingray (although that might be too large / wipe out the underwater life).
I'd keep listing more off but those are the one's I think of off the top of my head.
Maybe a tiny dragonfly, but cicadas, no.
Well done mate! Keep them videos rolling, love your content !
Really enjoyed the video! Hope your channel gets the recognition it deserves.
Thank you so much! Awh the great people watching now are more than enough!!
I love your family
We are the greatest family ever! So happy to see you all again
The light in the lil pond looks cool 👌
This is so good I just keep rewatching it.
that putin joke aged well haha
Brilliant work! Inspired me to try something similar. Also at 5:38 bottom left there is an armadillidium nasatum too.This just shows the incredible work you have put in and the vast amount of species in the tank
The Return of the King!
good to see you back finally man!!
This video is actually really good
this was a very entertaining video that I enjoyed a lot. Can't wait to do this myself and can't wait to see more of your content.
This makes me proud of UA-cam recommendations.
This just became my favorite genre of UA-cam channels!😂
Awesome vivarium! I love the time lapses and the narration!! Can’t wait for mew videos :)
Thank you!!
I can’t wait until the next video!!!! Incredible content- thank you so much for putting in the expertise, effort, and time! I know people like me really appreciate it!
I've been waiting for a new video for sooo long and when I thought you would never come back, you did ! Glad to hear your voice and to see your amazing footage again mate, Welcome Back !!!
Thank you so much!!!
I was glued to the screen for 99% of this! Excellent video thank you.
I feel like you should make a 24/7 stream for this terrarium. Have three cameras that up around it so people can switch around from The aquatic waterfall area to side Glass view to see below the substrate in the dirt and then above over the terrestrial area
Finally !!! Thanks for your amazing content !
Happy to provide! Hope you enjoyed👍
Im from Bangladesh 🇧🇩 good to see that people out there know about our country
How amazing! This is the best thing I've watched in such a long time.
Thank you!!!!
