I Got RUBBER DUCKY Isopods!

- Rubber Ducky Isopods?! Yes that correctly, I seriously just got some isopods (pill bugs, rollie pollies, wood louse, wood lice, etc) that look like rubber duckies. These were newly discovered last year in Thailand, so they're still pretty new to the hobby. You may think that they're overrated or that they're not worth it, but let me tell you, these are incredible! I have been trying to get them since that time and I didn't know what to expect, but I was honestly astounded when I saw them in person.
A special thanks to my man ReptileNerd, who reached out to me and directed me to the site that I bought them from. If it wasn't for him, I probably wouldn't have found them! Full disclosure, I paid for these and this not a sponsored video. Anyways my isopods came in great and super quick at that! So if your looking for isopods, I definitely recommend that you check this site out: www.isopod.com...
I know that a lot of you have been wanting to see some content with isopods for awhile, so hopefully this holds you down for a bit. I will of course make care videos and everything like that when I have the time, but it's not on my immediate radar. If there's any other content that you would like to see regarding isopods, definitely let me know.
In regard to content, let's circle back to some questions that I had in the video:
1. What should I stock the stock pond with long-term? As I said, I'm thinking something small, colorful and active. It doesn't have to be that, but for some reason that's all I can picture at this time, especially once I get more emerged plant growth.
2. What would you like to see me discuss in the aquascape videos? I already know how I want the scapes to look. However, I wasn't sure if there was something specific you'd like me to detail. Let me know if there is!
Also you probably couldn't tell from the video, but those blue dream shrimp for Lucas Bretz are seriously beautiful (and BLUE)! Lucas is a fellow hobbyist, who has over 200 tanks and breeds/sells aquarium livestock, plants, etc. If you're not following him, I definitely recommend that you do. He's a serious gem in the aquarium hobby! Tell I sent you, if you feel inclined to do so.

Well... Mmm I said the same. .... Aww Soo adorable ... I must say
My mangrove is to blow up, then act like I don't know nobody
DukeCyrus this killed me
JAJAJAJAJA
THAT WAS IN MY HEAD THE FIRST TIME I HEARD IT!
I both hate and love this
*HYA HYA HYA HYA HYA*
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 UA-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.
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 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!
Rubber duckies are probably the cutest variety of isopods that I’ve encountered.
What I've learned from your previous videos:
Zip-ties are all you need in life.
Pretty much.
And duct tape. 😃😃👍👍
Me: *sees isopod* Also me: "OH LAWD HE ROLLIN"
Yep, that's why we know them as just 'rolly pollies' here in the South.
@@gwendolyncarter5668 whole of the USA calls em that
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.
What kind of mangrove are these?
This videos always makes me stress free
Ikr? Lol
The background music has a lot to do with it, I think.
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.
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

this is literally what I wish I could do I love nature. water and plant life I would have ponds and terrariums everywhere love your channel bro
So many tubs full of friends - thanks for another relaxing video and future projects update. ❤️
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.
Thank you I'm glad that you enjoyed the video! 👐
Nice to see the growth of this channel since the original closed terrarium build back in 2016! Thanks for the content!
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.
Micky Tootle um, okay.
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.
Your terrarium skills are inspiring! You've convinced me to start going bioactive, thank you!
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!
Oh wow, those little guys are adorable!
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.
@@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.
@@snowball_from_earth or stock with pure breed endlers. won't loose the color.
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
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. 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.
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!
Your terrarium shelving looks awesome, and the duckies are so cute!
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!!
I think it would be really cool to see a brackish palladium with the mangroves in 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.
SKSKSK LOOK AT THEIR LITTLE FACES!!! ILL TAKE 20 PLEASE 😂
Bit expensive. That's like $500+. These aren't cheap lol
Dude the website has so many amazing species. Rolly polys are one of the first insects I ever discovered as a kid
@@gooseteamsix5894 actually, they are crustaceans
@@DakyUwUyes, a terrestrial crustacean under the order of isopoda so it's more of an insect to me than anything.
@@gooseteamsix5894 well, good point
Mangroves=mudskipper paludarium
Like if you want this to happen
Mangroves and mudskippers are a natural match!
Y’all are hella smart 😔✊
Whoosh me if you’re brain dead u ain’t emoji user
Whoosh me if you’re brain dead wrong way fist m8
You're an extremely talented person, I'd love to see where your skill sets are in 10years. Keep up the awesome work!
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.
Oh my goodness...
They are beautiful! excellent video brother!
Killing the editing man! ✌😍
Your set up is amazing! And those isopods are adorable!
You should try making a brackish paludarium and it be great if you planted those mangrove trees
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.
those have to be the CUTEST isopods I've ever seen
I never thought Isopods could be so cute ... great video and thank you! Great projects, thanks for sharing!
...i'm wondering what is that blurred out thing? Lol
Me too 🤔🕵
When ?
maybe some pods drying ouy for a butterfly room .........whooooop
Same here
Mj clones
OH, WE HAVE THE GRAY ISOPODS AROUND WHERE I LIVE!! I USED TO PLAY WITH THEM WHEN I WAS A KID!! I loved how they felt walking on my hand.
Make a paludarium for something with the mangroves
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.
Endlessocean8 where did you get the plush?! That sounds adorable
They're so cute! So worth everything you've put into them
I would put a large school of neon tetras into the pond! I love the way they group together and shine in the light!
"Hello everyone, Tanner here and welcome to..." always makes me happy.
Im glad I could help! these are truly awesome looking isopods!
If I had an indoor pond, I'd want stinkpot turtles. Also, those isopods are cute!
Another great video. Soon I will add isopods to my many terrariums I've created since finding your channel. Happy belated birthday!
Omg those are adorable!
Their little faces is the cutest thing in the world! And their coloring is beautiful!
Thank you for not being overly theatrical and annoying like antscanada.
Is that the guy who always has videos like
ALL THE ANTS ARE DYING
or
THE ANTS ARE KILLING ME SEND HELP (Police called) (Gone wrong)
BUTTERDOGESTARWARS not really
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
T rue
Ac: omg guys my ants have become sentient and are gonna enslave the human race!! And they are dying, again
I honestly always thought isopods were pretty boring of a pet to own, because they are actually native here (like the all grey ones you showed second) and you can find them in every garden, in every plant, in every garage, under every stone, etc. If you wanted to get these you could just go out and literally collect numerous of them.
But the rubber duckies actually look pretty decent with their bright colour. They have a nice size and I like that their eyes are visible.
When I set up my first bioactive enclosure, I will take a look at where to find them.
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!
I mean, he could have secured the pond to protect the fish..
Great video! May I ask what camera(s) you used to film this? Thanks! Congrats on the duckies! I have a bunch coming in next month!
Wasssssup tanner you are an amazing scaper and I love ur vids I’m subbed and have notifications on
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.
6:33 - NOOOO HOOMAN DO NOT TOUCHE! WE DYIIIN!!! oh look, leaves!!
Wow, your videos are a great motivator to keep more terrariums!
This is epic. Very cool
yOu
The highlight of my work day is knowing that when I sit down for my lunch break, I have videos from you waiting to be watched.
THEY ARE SO CUTE OMG 😂
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!
i swear to god
i thought it said "i got rubber ducky air pods"
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.
Im crying THEY ARE TOO CUTE😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Awesome production of the video. Very cool rubber duckies btw.
It's real isopod hour.
Like if you're awake during real isopod hours.
Based on the thumbnail I thought he had rubber duckies in the shape of isopods, that would have been wierd but kinda funny
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!
These rubber ducky isopods are adorable! I love the way they look. The others are pretty cool as well. Happy belated Birthday.🖤🇨🇦
*ISOPOD HOUR IS BACK!!!*
Never heard of them before. These are by far the cutest and my now favourite isopods
Put some rainbow fish in the pond they are small and LOVE planted tanks
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
Real rubber isopod hours
Isopod hoursss
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!
These be real isopod hours
Oh they are so hecking adorable! They have such cute little faces.
Cool
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.
Awesome
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.
The isopods are neat, and the shelves look beautiful! Great video. Your content is very interesting. :)
This is seriously beautiful art you have created using nature as a medium it's truly wonderful
4:29 in video duration... I like how the bottle has a stand to it, I'll definitely keep that in mind.
just a small tip here you should water the substrate mix before potting it that way it wont sink when you pour more water from the top. also this way you make sure the roots really moist and the dry soil wont suck the water from the roots instead
The music makes the duckies extra cheerful!
this channel has really helped me overcome my fear of isopods, I'm not sure if I could hold one yet but i actually thought the rubber ducky isopods were cute! (I'm not even afraid of spiders or snakes, i think they're cute, literally just isopods.)
Haha! They're not scary at all. Go in your backyard and pick some up. You can overcome your fear completely!
They made me laugh 😂 Thank you isopods for making my day!
I'm so excited for everything up coming!!!!!
Fantastic. Thank you so much for all of your content. My number one go to for anything interesting.
Their nom nom wigglers are ADORABLE!
I would stock the pond with ricefish since they are very underappreciated in the hobby they are also very pretty!
Wow! Those are some of the cutest little bugs I’ve ever seen!!!
Bert and Ernie's favourite isopods , rubber ducky 😁 . Fab video man cheers 🍻.........
Hey just started watching you about a month ago and decided to build my first bioactive vivarium today for my crested gecko. Not as intricate as yours but I love it thanks for the tips!
Those are some really interesting isopods. And those blue dream shrimp are really neat too.
UA-cam as fast-tracked you to success. Congrats on getting on their good side, and keep up the great videos!
