Don't they need more open water? As I remember they were living in the small ponds in the forest nearby. And they spawn in the water like frogs aren't they?
I think eastern newt red efts would do great in a setup like this, and adults ~can~ technically be kept terrestrially, though they won't breed for ya that way. Not sure if they'd be legal in PA anyway, and it's very tough to find captive-bred ones. European marbled newts, while they'd also need a good water area for breeding, could be perfectly happy for most of the year in a mostly-terrestrial setup like this, and they're pretty easy to find captive-bred.
@@AlphaTier494 all amphibians (with few rare exceptions) spawn in water but that doesn't make them unsuitable for this tank. Newts certainly couldn't live here because they live in water for most of the year but salamanders could be a choice
I love how you’re never afraid to pull something apart and say it wasn’t working. So many people would just keep going and pretend that they love the end result just to save face. I like the authenticity.
I like it when creators leave mistakes and correcting those mistakes in too. I learn more from the mistakes than I do anything else so it’s nice to see someone make them before I do
Ever since that one break he took, his videos and confidence have went to a new level. Now, whenever I get the notification a new video gets posted I’m always ready and anxious for Tanners head to pop out somewhere...
hi Tanner, I am a landscape architect in Hungary and I just want to say, your work, your design, your art is absolutely amazing! Never stop it! I have never seen same quality before. Thank you for your art.
"I'm pretty pleased with how this turned out." PRETTY pleased? Seeing the final outcome of this was just mind boggling-ly beautiful. This is my favorite yet!
As a fellow western Pennsylvanian, you nailed this one. I think the only thing missing would be juvenile Eastern Spotted Newts or another type of salamander living under a log.
Agreed. I always caught my salamanders and newts in the woods by the waterfall. Dendrolycopodium obscurum may be a bit hard to reign in, but would really go well if mimicking local flora. 🙏🏼😁(it's my fav!) Edit: Oh, and salamanders!
I feel like some kind of frogs would really appreciate this, perhaps darts if the water isn't too deep, maybe the larger variety like dendrobates tinctorius, I keep them myself, such amazing animals ❤️
wow that went from "i hope this looks good" to incredibly beautiful very quickly. So much of the realistic feel comes from moss its crazy how much texture it gives.
This is so creative and I appreciate that you included the re-build. This is so important to the process, having the ability and brevity to stop and try something different. Thank you for sharing these videos!
Edit: after watching the video in it’s entirety, I revoke my statement about the toads and salamanders. Too many for the size. Newts are the best option, the best of both worlds (terrestrial and aquatic). Fire-belly newts are so much fun to watch.
I don't know what it is about this one, maybe because I love the woods and flowing water, but this has to be one of my favorites Tanner! (Also, wouldn't newts be adorable?)
I absolutely LOVE this one! It feels straight out of fairy-tale forest...absolutely magical and stunningly beautiful. Easily one of my favourite scapes of yours!
I keep coming back to this video. It's probably my favorite thing Tanner has made. I live in the NE US and this is a common sight around here. I've always been captivated by temperate forest biomes and especially by the ferns. I look forward to building something like this when I have more space.
This absolutely bangs. The plant selection isn't what I would've gone for, but I'm a weirdo about trying to re-create exact biotopes. I think you perfectly captured the leveling and scale of those little temporary runoff streams. Some of my favorite little micro-environments!
Ooh I have begonia rex “rumba” in my terrarium. I just noticed this morning that it’s flowering for the first time! My potted begonia rex “escargot” started flowering a couple weeks ago too. So pretty ☺️
with or without livestock in there, this one is stunning. its got a beautifully lazy flow of water, and the cork really does end up looking like decomposing roots. well done
I wouldn’t say poison dart frogs tbh I think he’s trying to mimic something closer to him so newts are the closest and dart frogs would look better in the 180 gallon jungle Vivarium
This one is GORGEOUS. it reminds me of some hiking trails near where I live! We once saw this pretty waterfall flowing over a fallen tree, and it had a bird skeleton in it! Maybe a bit macabre, but it was a beautiful sight. Nature is sometimes kinda gnarly.
Reminds me of a Nature show "Queen of Trees." A powerful image of a catfish skeleton with a fig tree sprouting from its ribcage. Life is death. Death is life.
As a longtime viewer from Maine, I've gotta say I completely love this vivarium. It definitely makes me think of walking through the woods in late spring
This has got to be the most naturalistic viv you've done so far! I LOVE it!! Also, Vampire crabs would love that set up (granted they would need a larger water area where they could submerge completely to molt and breed)!
From my very brief experience growing mushrooms, once you see the actual fruiting bodies above the soil, they've basically colonized as much of the substrate as they can. After a few waves of them fruit and drop spores, they vanish for good. I have no idea how they'd fair in a vivarium, but the few I've had accidentally grow in also disappear after a while. It would be cool if they were a more permanent presence. Maybe there's a trick to it.
A really good way to do this is to have a piece of cork round or some sort of little flower pot embedded in the scape. Then you add already colonized with mycelium substrate to that. After the mushrooms are done fruiting (or harvested if youre growing something edible) you remove that plug of mycelium from the flower pot and add another, rinse lather repeat.
Frogs or toads are the obvious first choice, but spotted salamanders live in places like this and would contrast very well with the plants+logs. They should even be able to breed as long as there's a puddle somewhere.
I agree with the top comment here a salamander was the first thing I thought of... As I grew up in MI and this type of scene was the most common I found many red-backs I think this is perfect for them!
I don’t know what you did for a living before all this but you have truly found your calling!!!! Evenly time I see one of your videos it really makes me miss my 150 planted tetra tank. Like REALLY miss....🤔
Marbled newts (triturus marmeratus) a small group of 5 would be perfect in there they don't require and lighting like hear or uv just a simple day and night cycle
@@renegaderebel2223 great! I've caught a t. dobrogicus male and if i find a female I'll start breeding them and releasing the efts to strengthen the population
It literally means "sweet-water-tang" and is somewhat pronounced as "sy (as in syllable) ss (like the sharp s in sweet) - wa (pronounced with an a as in all) ss (again, sharp s) er - tang (a again)" I dunno if this helps in anyway. very difficult over writing
@@capuchinosofia4771 the closest way to understand how to pronounce Süßwasser is to think of how we pronounce Seuss, as in Dr Seuss. So, like Soup, but with a long s on the end instead of the p, Soos. Wasser itself is easier, Prounounce W like a V, and then the ER is not a had sound, but more like ah, so it's Soos-vassahr... once you got that much done, you just stick the tang on the end. Süßwasser means freshwater, in it's most basic explanation. Sweetwater is a very uncommon word in English for Freshwater. At least, this is how I was taught by my german Grandmother and many german classes over the years.
Thank you for your videos. I recently inoculated a small log with a species of bioluminescence mushroom. I decided that I wanted to make decoration out of it. Sense I would like to keep it in a humid environment I did research and found terrariums and then your youtube channel. I'm so excited to spend and absurd amount of money to showcase a free log. Thank you

What do you think? Also, what can you picture living in here? I personally think some invertebrate would be best, but I'm open to your suggestions. Let me know!
Tiger barbs were the first fish I kept after years of only keeping guppies. After seeing this, I want to create a bigger tank of just all tiger barbs. Thank you Joey!!!
I only recently found this channel, but I'm blazing through all the videos. This is my favorite build so far and the one i definitely want to mimic. Just amazing.
It clearly needs a couple newts and some rolly polly's.
Don't they need more open water? As I remember they were living in the small ponds in the forest nearby. And they spawn in the water like frogs aren't they?
The ones around here I've seen live under rotten logs and leaf litter. That vivarium looks very like the ravine I grew up playing in.

salamanders or small frogs. Maybe poison arrow or tree frogs. Make sure the lid is tight. Salamanders are escape artists.
I find it relaxing to watch the process of making the vivarium

Newts or frogs are what I can see in this build. This build really did bring me back to the spring/summer going on hikes every weekend

I love your scapes! I imagine some little brown froggos in this one.
I'll never see ceiling tiles the same way ever again... 😂
lol
Beautifull!! I always love it when trees become part of the environment and plants and moss starts to grow on it.
Dart frogs are something I've always wanted I think they would look amazing in here
You succeeded in creating just the kind of landscape you were aiming for. Kudos Tanner, yet again.
I don't know what it is about this one, maybe because I love the woods and flowing water, but this has to be one of my favorites Tanner! (Also, wouldn't newts be adorable?)
Nature does wonders for the soul.
Just wondering what newts eat...

Would you consider using mushrooms in any of your builds? I'm not too versed in how they work in tanks/maintenance, so if not use them why?
Yessss! That would be so cool!

Frogs or toads are the obvious first choice, but spotted salamanders live in places like this and would contrast very well with the plants+logs. They should even be able to breed as long as there's a puddle somewhere.
spotted salamanders are incredibly hard to breed in captivity and I'm pretty sure serpa is against wc animals anyway
This might be one of my favorites. I am a sucker for temperate forests.
