Creating a Giant Tropical Wetlands Vivarium: The Hardscape
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 лют 2025
- I'm creating the ultimate tropical wetlands vivarium, starting with the hardscape! These wetlands will host an ecosystem of tropical plants and animals. Failing a water leak test did not stop me from proceeding with the aquascaping process within the tank. Using driftwood, rocks, soil, and lots of glue, we created an epic hardscape, the skeleton to our giant wetlands vivarium. Hope you enjoy Episode 2 of Season 4 of my Ecosystem Vivarium Series. Ant love forever! This video was shot in 4K Ultra HD resolution.

I CAN'T WAAAIT
i freaked out
yaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
It’s going to be amazing!
Wetlands aka Atlantis :)
Me to
I'm going with ANTLANTIS! 👍
So glad I checked before commenting. Antlantis!!!!
I love this
Great Name!
I can't imagine it being named anything else now, great suggestion!
Yip I'm voting for Antlantis also. Genius buddy.
i think you should call it Cascadia. this could represent the water cascading down the rocks flowing beautifully.
I agree, Cascadia! Goes so beautifully with the other 2 names!
Great name! I really like it.
Perfect suggestion!!! 🤌🏾
except cascadia is a region of mountains in western north America
@@nightskycandles1 does that mean the name can't be used?
Here are some suggestions ♥
Cascadia - Inspired by the new waterfall, cascading through the wetlands(tank).
Luminara - To suggest a glowing & mysterious water habitat teeming with life. Imagine cool glowing plants at night 😍
Tritonia - To reflect the third tank, the Greek god Triton is also a good reference.
Rivendara - When the tank will be done, I think this one speaks for itself ;)
Cascadia, for sure!
I really like all of these tbh
pantdorlantis
Antlascadia...Hydroscadia... Hydrantlascadia.
Nah Antlantis wins for sure.
Antlantis 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Can't wait to see the 50 new ant colonies that hide in the driftwood and will appear when the tank is fully build.
I am sure there will be plenty of to be continued endings with those scenarios.
@@LordFantasthick maybe if he starts bringing in stuff with dirt in it, or if those pieces of wood were two big stumps maybe. With all that being mostly smaller dry pieces I think there's much less chance of finding a whole colony like what was in the first tank.
😄👍
@@DeathsNitemareShepardOfHope he adds them then says they just showed up
@@Zaku186 I greatly doubt this
lmaoo for real
Cascadia sounds so serene much like the flowing water fall. I am in love with this build. My favorite thus far
cascadia are mountains
@@nightskycandles1
Where are you going after you die?
What happens next? Have you ever thought about that?
Repent today and give your life to Jesus Christ to obtain eternal salvation. Tomorrow may be too late my brethen😢.
Hebrews 9:27 says "And as it is appointed unto man once to die, but after that the judgement
@@JesusPlsSaveMe nothing happens after you die, your brain rots, it is destroyed, consciousness ceases to exist.
Bro this is my favorite series in UA-cam
Mine too
No joke I wait for these uploads more than anything else.
@@GLOBALGAMING2222 Thank you! 🙏 Ant love forever!
Try "This Week in Stupid" 😊😅
Yeah the BEST
Please add small rock islands with plants in the middle. It would be fascinating to leave them untouched and observe which insects migrate to them. Over time, this could foster unique biodiversity on each island 🙏🙏
This is a really good idea
It's finally completed:ua-cam.com/video/HKM5WmXT_aM/v-deo.html
This idea is awesome!!!
Stunning idea! 👍👍👍
@antscanada this is a genuis idea
Cascadia or Hydromeda sounds the best in my opinion.
We NEED a turtle!! They’re so fun to watch grow up!
Turtles ftw! 🐢
Yessss
Yes please turtle!!! ❤
I love turtles sm 🐢
Turtles will eat the fish and everything else living in he water and constantly will be digging. Not to mention they stink up an aquarium because of their massive fecies and the shell sheading that occurs. I'm just throwing in my two cents because I used to keep turtles. But I guess you can get a small species that doesn't grow very much. Even they will still eat on fish fins and slowly kill your fish . They kept me from having crayfish and any nymphs in the water turtles are ravenous creatures. Have even seen them snatch victims near the water line if they can like alligators do. So if you put some in there and you notice different creatures disappearing that's why.
Hydromeda!!!
Ant Love FOREVER
This one is my favorite!
HYDROMEDA!!!
𝙃𝙔𝘿𝙍𝙊𝙈𝙀𝘿𝘼!!!!!!!
HYDROMEDA
I like this one
Hydromeda , Orchadia & Pantdora .... sounds GOOD 👍
I wouldn't change anything and just leave it like that ...
These 3 different names sound really good / matching together !
Can't wait to see the plants being installed ! It's going to look simply stunning !
And after that , the most important thing , we've all been waiting for : " The introduction of LIFE " !!!
*** I saw Godzilla looking very interested at the new tank ! 🤗
He's hoping I guess .... 👍🙏
Love ,
Helen 💜💞🐜🕷🐜🕷🐜
I bet Godzilla is going into the vivarium
I'm so excited!! Just hope orcadia doesn't get neglected. I feel like we moved on to the next vivarium before it could really get any love.
I'm so excited too 😊 I think though that he has so much passion for the work there's no way it could be neglected. He even redesigned and reconstructed the whole orcadia setup and space! That's so much time and love and energy. I think it might just take some time to establish the same ecosystem health and resilience after letting the creatures there settle into their own balance first. If there's not a lot going on yet there to show us or make into a video, he can't rush it into flourishing any more than someone can rush a garden growing! He can only tend the seeds, and this is a great new project to hear about while all those seeds keep growing! 🥰 Thanks AntsCanada!
I agree with this so much I would love to see maybe some birds or mamals of some sort
I feel its really struggled cause of the lack of water more than anything, probably why he was eager to move on to this one
Maybe it is not that easy to get things going and interesting in an artificial canopy setting as it is in an almost normal ground level vivarium
@@Blatantplanet I have some plans for Orchadia this season! Don't you worry!
I think ”FENORA” would be a great name, Fen representing wetlands👍😃
Hydromeda is honestly so perfect. I don’t always prefer the names that end up getting chosen, but Hydromeda is so perfect and fitting! ❤
I felt not naming Godzilla "Irwin" was such a missed oportunity
Yes I like this one best!! ❤❤
This wasn’t even supposed to be the name 😭it’s the name he liked the most everyone voted for antlantis 😭
Kind of sounds like Andromeda
im so excited. im not even the one building it. that was a nerve racking water test.. I agree with the guy who said "Cascadia"
*Revelation 3:20*
Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
HEY THERE 🤗 JESUS IS CALLING YOU TODAY. Turn away from your sins, confess, forsake them and live the victorious life. God bless.
*Revelation 22:12-14*
And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
@@JesusPlsSaveMehey man just tryna be helpful, this isn't the way to get people to follow your faith. It annoys/pushes people away more than anything. Make shorts and put # thats makes sense. You're hurting your cause more than helping it
@@JesusPlsSaveMe This crap in so many videos is turning many against your religion, there is a time and place to preach , this is most definitely not it. Or would you like to have devil worshippers spread their word everywhere you look, so you were enticed to investigate further and knew many were doing the same. As i said there is a time and place for your religious nonsense and if not careful i will most definitely create a template answer with links to devil worshipping websites in every post pushing your imaginary god.
@@JesusPlsSaveMe Hey as a christian this is actually really disrespectful. Not everyone wants to follow Jesus and not everyone has to follow Jesus.
@@emm8657
Just like when the missionaries came to Africa to evangelize, wasn't it also annoying for the Africans? Would anything ever be respectful? Just as Paul and others when beyond the sea to unknown lands to tell our God, did you think the people created time for them or there was a perfect time for that?
If you're a Christian as you said, then get up and preach. The best time is now and everywhere. God bless you.
*Mark 16:15*
And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
Hydromeda is hard to beat, it's a reaaaally good name, i love it! this new vivarium is looking so dope, i can't wait to see all the life that will settle in there!
Antlantis
@Yeetely_deetdoesn’t make sense it should be a literal sunken vivarium
Cascadia solos
Cascadia ❤
All I could think of was... "I am Groot" with those great drift wood sculptures. Beautiful job. Can't wait to the wildlife.
You got my vote for "Grootania" or something like that!
PLEASE get a small group of Ctenolucius hujeta 🙏❤️(or even just a pair you need at least a pair but they do better and their behaviour is more interesting in a shoal/school though)
(I I’m almost sure they can also probably be kept with archer fish around the same size cause they both need the same parameters)
I beg you to make this fish more known about it’s such an amazing species.
no one’s ever done a good video on them in my opinion(or really any videos at all since it’s so unknown) it will be so original in so many ways and they’re such a cool looking fish with some of the coolest behaviour (when they’re not chillin) but people don’t see it because they’re so shy which is also why they’re so unknown 😭
PLEASE FOR A FELLOW CANADIAN AND TORONTARIAN🙏🙏😩
(Even if you don’t now even in the future would be one of the best things that’s ever happened to me I love these fish so much I 100% GUARANTEE people will be BEGGING for more videos on them you won’t regret it at all if you do)
They’re from Columbia too so they’re like perfect for this 🫶
They would absolutely thrive and even tho they’re predatory fish they’re EXTREMELY friendly in most cases and can be in a community (they’ll eat anything that can fit in their mouth though)
I’ve even kept some with male and also female bettas perfectly fine till they got bigger than the bettas than I moved them before they tried anything
I love how we're getting an Antscanada cinematic universe with the ecosystems
I cant for for team Mammal to show up!
Poseidon! It symbolizes the three gods! Well brothers! Hades, Poseidon, and lastly the oldest of all, Zeus! Poseidon well the tank, hades, well the ground, the vivarium land I mean rainforest vivarium, and zues, the tree canopy vicarioum, well of course it's already named, but it's a suggestion for Poseidon for the tank I mean aquarium. 👍👌
Antlantis. 😂 is my favourite
What really amazes me is the perspective of the tanks. They all look like they are 10 feet deep. The 3D effect of the hard scape is amazing.
YESSS WERE HERE FOR IT!! WHERE ARE THE TURTLES?!
Yes turtles would be epic with a bunch of frogs
It's finally completed: ua-cam.com/video/ZTk9LfLkUTA/v-deo.html
Turtles would be cool but also some fish
cascadia sounds cool!
cascadia is a region of mountains though
My name suggestion would be HYDRANTIS! Based on a mystical ant species that thrives in mythical wetlands environments!
I haven’t watched the entire video yet.. but oh WOW, that scape looks EPIC! This is going to be a great season. 😮
It's finally completed: ua-cam.com/video/1sqT2Au650Y/v-deo.html
Antlantis!
thats great actually
Yep, we got a winner.
The funny thing is that I misread it as "Atlantis" and thought "Hey, you missed a pun here... Oh wait, you didn't!"
Heh, yeah that's a great name
AtlANTis
This vivarium is going to be the most stunning thing ever. I am a fan of Antlantis, but the wooden structures and the waterfall remind me of Rivendell in Lord of the Rings. The name definitely has to be something magical, cause this landscape screams magic!
Aquascaping glue generally becomes brittle overtime and breaks. You want to use aqua cement and or dowels as well where possible
Hopefully by that time the wood is waterlogged and it doesn't cause any problems
Aquahollow would be a good name because it's giving a sleepy hollow vibe
I like this one a lot
True IT really looks like the forest ways in sleepy hollow
I like this one a lot!
It's finally completed: ua-cam.com/video/1sqT2Au650Y/v-deo.html
Ooooooh yes i like this name a lot!!!
If you want biodiversity and ecological stability in the tank, you need bioactive mud, like something from the bottom of a pond, also, little muddy shallows with vegetation so shallow the fish cannot access them will be important to make breeding repositories for small aquatic invertebrates to replenish their numbers, and maybe a corner choke-full of weedy plants in a deeper part of the tank will be necesary for breeding fish and other kinds of invertebrates, that when bred to capacity, will begin to spill out to the rest of the tank and provide food and stablish other small populations elsewhere, with this you could even have dragonflies and other aquatic-lifestage insects that grow up to be flying predators
That's what I was thinking as well. I'm no biologist, but the floor of the vivarium doesn't really reflect the floor of a wetland. Unless that's still to come, but I doubt since the water is already in. But I've done zero research so I'm sure he knows what he's doing.

Hydromeda - The Hauntingly Beautiful Ominous Shoreland!
Atlanta is a good name suggest❤
Antlantis is awesome.
Tropicana.
Aquatica.
The shape of the two branches touching to me is reminiscent of “The Creation of Adam” painting by Michelangelo. Very cool! Perhaps there’s some cool names to be found here as well
@@andreemala OMG You're right!
I immediately saw that too
I actually think it should play a role in naming it
@@RagaarAshnod how about Aquadam? Aqua+Adam? Hahaha
The is very thin and hard to cross 19:30
Quick tip for the future from an aquarist! If you put some tissue paper or cotton balls in the glue joints and soak it with super glue it will lock down super secure. I use this method to lock down hardscape when i wanna ensure it will stay together and not move! Then cover it with coco fiber or substrate after.
There is a haunting beauty to this build so far, I cannot believe how enchanted I am over driftwood. 😂
I'm going with Antlantis as others suggested above. Seems fitting as this vivarium has a mythological feel to it from the start.
Ok:
1. Atlantis
2. Either this channel or your vlog build a terrarium for the sugar gliders.
3. This as well as the other ones are epic and need awards.
Antlantis
I think the name Crymea river ( cry me a river) is super funny and unique too😂💕I love all your videos my cat watches with us all the time!
Antlantis would go hard
i agree or atleast something related to that
Yes
Antlantia
Wetlantus or Wetlantis
Can’t wait to see what living things get added to it just with the drift wood it looks amazing

Yeah the plant like I have a feeling is going to look amazing
Want to see what migrates over before adding anything except plants.
🙇🏻♀️
@@shiznit162 I’m surprised anyone remembers that
Hydromeda or Antlantis! It looks amazing!! 🤩
i believe Antheia or Anthea would be great since it is the greek goddess of swamps and it has ant in her name
The structure of the two driftwood pieces give off "The Creation of Adam" vibes
With the hand of god reaching out towards the hand of humanity
Maybe we should name the Vivarium "Eden" instead
Wow, simply awesome- clearly the best Hardscaping the channel has seen to date. Strong emotional tones- really excited to see it come together!
Great editing and music on this one, bud. You should be super proud. 🎉❤❤
Antlantis 110%!!!!! you do thee best work on UA-cam hands down. Literal cinema movie we get to experience!

@@danisugimoto7458 nice! 👍
The fact mike traces out his ideas with his hands is actually really smart and works a treat. Sometimes using visual movements help with really shaping an idea. this is also sometimes used by singers (ex: AURORA) who use visual movements while they sing, helping them get into the flow of their own voice.

I’m loving the name Cascadia!!
I can't see comments. So I hope this posts. My idea for a name would be CASCADIA. As it being a Wetlands Vivarium, and taking inspiration from the Waterfall you've made (which I find so beautiful). I think that the name fits in so well with the others.
Stealing the other comments idea and pretending you cant see comments will not fool anyone lad
@ I'm sorry, but I didn't steal anything. If more than one person comes up with the same name before me, that's awesome. It's a simple name yet a really cool one at the same time. If others came up with it first, all credits to them. I take no credit, and in the end it just means the name will be picked if a lot use it. But really, I mean come on - cascading waterfalls ... Arcadia. Put the two together, and you get Cascadia. I'm sorry if you can't use your brain and put two words together, then want to blame someone else for stealing a name. As I said. I couldn't see the comments at the time of posting it ... 'lad'. But thanks for the reply, I appreciate it. :)
Isla Bella: it means Island beauty- perfect for a tropical wetland ❤
My daughter and I watch all of your videos together before her bedtime and she has loved watching them. The name we like is Antlantia
otoniomus (stands for ocean, enourmus and i love it keep going)
I think the reason why this community is the best on UA-cam is due to the double dipping of knowledge in the comments. Surrounded by scientists, biologists, conservationists, zoologists, entomologists…..and everything in between! Hope all of you have a very relaxing Sunday, AC Family!
This Vivarium is going to look amazing when completed, Just like the others. I think you should call it. Wetlandra
Watching this before bed is such a vibe. I'm really excited for the names Hydromeda and Antlantis
Your videos of the worlds you create help so many like me who struggle with depression and anxiety. Each one is an oasis of joy and peace and rest from the struggles I have. Thank you so much! Please keep going.
Prayers brother
Each side of the drift wood almost looks like humans reaching out towards one another and became frozen in wood! Cant wait to see it with plants
I saw someone else say it and I agree with Cascadia!
It fits right in we the others and its such a pretty Name for a River-Style Vivarium!
Cascadia is a beautiful name, I agree! However it already has a strong association with the region where I live, the pacific northwest. We call our area Cascadia because of the Cascade mountains. It would be like naming the vivarium "Appalachia."
I love that creepy tree oval design!
Atlantis, 150%.
Also, Mikey, you don't need to keep building bigger and "better" tanks--We all love Pantdora and would be totally happy with that.
Reallllly hoping you're going to set up a live-cam!!! You're amazing.
Is he bored easy 😐?
You do understand if he created a live feed, without his narration the channel would just die. Nobody is going to watch a live feed of grass growing.
@@xmars8its not just grass growing
Antlantis
@@xmars8what an unintelligent opinion. Why are you even here?
Cascadia because of the awesome, beautiful waterfall
“AMAZONIA” as the Amazon rainforest is the green lung and the biggest wetland on planet earth! 🌎 ps: The way you make your videos is amazing and I want to see how this project continues!
Antmazonia, surely.
Atlantis
Came looking for this name. It is fitting since the Amazona is the biggest wetland in the world! 🤓
Oh. I like this one. I hope it gets more votes as the week goes on ❤
The lagoon
Hydromeda is excellent!!👏👏👏😀
Aquatopia.
Stunning and awe inspiring. A perfect eden. This is the best to date and I can hardly wait as the saga continues.
Cheers.
DaWoods Island is what i would love to see it called!
LOOKS AMAZING!!! of all the years i have been following this channel i like this one alot.
Cascadia! Please 🙏 It matches the naming conventions of the other tanks so well
Aquantis for me.. so that its unique like the latest vivarium...❤❤❤
I haven’t watched more than the first two minutes but based off of the last videos comments please rebuild this tanke before you kill everything inside it. There were multiple seemingly experienced aquarium builders telling you this will be a disaster! Simply adding a bit more silicone in the areas where you had leaks can’t be enough to make this safe!
Yeah, they said it can come brittle soon.
Only AntsCanada can make a slight water leak seem like an end of the world scenario then just quickly move on from it the next episode
Love the content
Its ant love, forever
I Love how cascada sound that's my pick I agree with whoever came up with that one just sounds calm to me.
Dang neat!! Maybe you should call it the Land of Aww. Blessings!
I'm certain that Wetlands is going to be incredible!
I can't wait to see it finished.
I'm a strong believer of having catfish in all tropical set ups. Plenty if options, and so much space :)
I prefer Siamese Algae Eaters but Catfish would fit the theme better.
I can already tell that this is going to be my favorite vivarium! I cannot wait to see it completed and full of life!
I imagine so much life under the water, hopefully there will be a massive variety and not mainly fish.
ENCANTADA sounds cool.
Can we get a video on all the other ant colonies. You haven't made a video on them since you started pantdora
Hydromeda or Cascadia! ^^
I am SO excited! My favorite videos are the ones when you add plants and animals. It just adds so much life and color to the landscape it's amazing to see
Expansion pack? Need the tierzoo crossover! 0:56
This is an underappreciated comment and I fully endorse this crossover!
Here i got some ideas for u:
Aquora , that whould be so awsome!
Then got some more ideas. :)
Treefall Oasis
HydroForest
Cascade Haven
AquaMonolith
Hydrara
Thalora
Hydromeda nails it. As an aquarist myself I'm pretty sure this is going to be epic!
You have a great eye for design and detail. It was a real treat to watch your creation come to life.
Duckweed Paradise
I actually really hope you go with something that doesn't end in "a" ;) I mean I can't complain. I really like Antlantis actually, hope that's the pick!
Straight away, a magical moment of painting a picture.
Since both previous vivariums ended on -a, I think this one should as well. So I'm leaning towards Atlantica or Aquaria
“PLANTANAL”- named after Pantanal (Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay)…it also has the word “ant”, which pays homage to your channel.
The **Pantanal** is the largest tropical wetland in the world. Unlike the Amazon, it is an open and accessible ecosystem, making wildlife easier to observe! Just like the Vivarium.
Ooh. Good one. I hope it gets more notice in the upcoming week!!
@ Thanks for commenting! I wonder if he will see it lol
ENCANTADA! It would be a nice name. It looks enchanted!
You are actually an artist.
Would love to see a vivarium with a centerpiece ‘mother tree’ almost like from the first Avatar movie🙏
You should add a rainbow snakehead they are one of the coolest fish they would fit perfectly in the new tank
Im your reply
A snakehead would put restrictions on 90% of what can live in the water since they are so predatory. Meaning no smaller fish, no shrimp etc. Personally, assuming the water isn’t going to be inhabited by the caiman he should focus on introducing peaceful community fish and invertebrates like various tetras, corydoras, Cherry shrimp, dwarf shrimp etc instead of just having it dominated by a select few predator fish
@theotheseaeaglethat’s fair but rainbow snakeheads only get up to 10 to 15cm and are usually fine with larger tetras like rainbow fish and congo tetras, if he adds shrimp they would probably stick to the rock and caves where a snakehead wouldn’t be able to reach
