    I did something similar to this when I was a kid (with lots of adult help) after seeing an advertisement in this herpetology magazine I had a subscription to showing a terrarium/aquarium split in half to allow for aquatic,terrestrial, and semi-aquatic animals. It took like three months to get it all working properly but when I did it was super cool. I had newts, crabs, fire-bellied toads, Dwarf African clawed frogs, a family of geckos, an assortment of fish, and probably other things I either didn’t have for very long or am just forgetting about. The tank was 75-100 gallons so if anything happened to not get along well there was enough room for them to keep their distance and everything seemed to prosper. Everything in the tank that had a viable mate eventually reproduced over the five or so years I had it. It eventually busted during cleaning and I had to get rid of everything. They were all sent to good homes though.
    I did this with minimal help since there were no guides to follow back then, at least not ones that were easily accessible to a 10-15 year old. I’ve always been curious about what kind of ecosystem I could create as an adult with access to the internet and limitless amounts of money but I’ve never pulled the trigger on it. Every now and then I get the itch and look stuff like this up. Maybe one day I’ll finally do it.

    This is absolutely mesmerising. Amazing watching from build to now having its own ecosystem which I could spend hours watching. So many times I see some nice tank builds but they often put too many goldfish in a small space when goldfish actually do require a big space to thrive. Seeing all these creatures in this tank thriving, living harmoniously & having babies is proof that you having really thought thoroughly about all the creatures & their natural habitat. Love the information that you also provide too.

    This is so cool. When I move out of my apartment and into a house I’m definitely making one.

    Wow. Wow. Wow. So much cool happening here on your channel. It’s very informative and interesting. The videography and editing are spot on. Not to mention the pacing that keeps me wanting more.
    Glad I found your channel! Keep up the good work! Very easy for me to sub to this content.

    The way you handle all these creepy insects has given me loads of confidence in touching them with bare hands. It's totally fun 😅
    I'm planning to do something similar with a Hermit Crab 🙋‍♂️ wish me good luck!
