It's a 30-liter or 8-gallon tank🙂

Thank you. Part 2 will come out soon🙌

Thank you for 🙌 The ants keep the nests clean themselves unless I give them an already used one from a different colony. I clean the used nests with hot water and vinegar and don't use chemicals. I then let it dry in the sun for a few days. Their dead and the carcasses the ants take into the outworld, where I just take a vacuum cleaner to suck out the debris.

​@@IDoScapingsuch cooperative pets! Wish my cat was this house friendly! 😊

Thank you, I like to keep it easy and simple🙂

Hello🙂

Im glad that I could help🙂 My first ever set-up was also a complete disaster.

🙌

Il have to go check that🙂

They are fascinating, yes. I'm glad you enjoy the ant update videos🙂

@sawittchen vielen Dank. Die Beleuchtung ist von der Marke Aquael, sind Leddy Smart day &night. Finde für ihren Preis sind die sehr gut, haben nur 5 Watt, aber für nano Aquarien und auch etwas größeres sind sie in meiner Meinung super.

Glad you enjoyed it🙌

Fish will come soon for both tanks, I promise🙂

Thank you so much🙌

Thank you for the sub, and I'll go check out your channel. I'm glad you enjoy my scapes, and there will be more to come soon🙂

Will come soon🙂

Thanks I guess🙂

I'll try to speak less next time🙂

Nooo, please talk 😀 there is so much wordless videos on you tube. In my opinion you do it very well and your work is also very nice, I hope your channel will grow, you deserve it.

Thank you so much. Sometimes, I do speak too much,though I am trying to find a balance. Yet it's always amazing to receive compliments🙌

@@IDoScaping I see many mistakes people do everyday when set up their tanks so education is needed. You can’t learn from muted videos. You doing well :)

Nice video maybe just scape and give tips along the way, most people understand it. your scapes are simple but good.

I'll definitely give it a try in the next scape. I will be adding lots of plants threwout and floating plants as well. To give the Betta cover,resting and hiding places to feel safe and at home.

@@IDoScaping do so but beware, Betas do live in shallow muddy brackish waters where foliage of certain plants cover the surface and not the roots! That’s the mistake people make thinking they hide in within roots; they are not from Amazon and not from mangroves; they use leaves and not roots! I found this out by watching many documentaries and also asking friends from many regions familiar to their own rivers and forests and animals; give Betas enough ‘surface foliage’ and plenty of space to swim low; where they find larvae and insects growing or hatching on stems with their eggs or under leaves; this is why people and aquariophiles like us must reconsider the aquatique scapes of Betas! Not as decoration inside but upside down 🙂

I'll take that as a huge compliment. Thank you 😅

OMG, once you hear it you can't unhear it... :D

Glad I could help!

The final scape will come soon and it is always exciting to give a beautiful fish a beautiful home🙌

Thank you, there are more to come for sure!

Glad you like it!

Thank you so much. It's a joy to look at, just needs .ore fish. Yet that'll be in the next video🙂

I'm glad you liked the video. Such a beautiful fish deserves something better than just a small box, yes. Though for display and selling, it is perfectly fine. They are in perfect health, have pristine water quality, are checked up daily, and dont stay there for too long until they go to a new home. I have seen way worse, unfortunately.

Will come soon, I promise🙂

Thank you so much, and thank you for the advice ❤️ I kinda realised it that pretty long... was my first ever video and had so much more content.

I'm glad you liked it and enjoyed the video. I did take my time with planting the Half-moon tank, and I'm glad it's finally completed. Now, it just needs a few more fish. Stay tuned😊

Thank you so much🙂

To be honest, I was planning on talking threw out the tour, yet I was a bit shy... The shop was also pretty busy, and the owners were also walking threw from time to time, which was also a bit intimating😅 Then there was the idea of doing a voice over, though as I was on holiday aswell, time was not really on my side for that. For the next time I do a shop tour, I'll definitely talk and share my thoughts on the scapes for sure. I can only recommend going to GreenAqua’s channel. They Dive deap into each scape and the whole setup of their tanks. Thank you still so much for watching, and ill definitely take your advice for the next one.

Thank you so much!

It's definitely one of my favourite scapes in the gallery of GreenAqua. They call it the Lion King scape😊. I will surely try to do something similar at one point, and then I'll gladly show how it is created.

Thanks for the advice. I'll choose some other music next time and change it up more frequently. It's great that you still enjoyed the video

I see often the excuse that it is just for short time until they are sold. But honestly, such a amount of betas is not sold in one day and I would not say that this size of a box without any plant and natural peace is respectful for animals, for any species. Unfortunately the law don't understand this point.

Thank you, I'll definitely keep it in mind to try and soak the wood in water for the next one and I have found the best success with wild moss to dip clean it first,plus let it be very humid for a few days.

I didn't clean the sand and just toped it up with water as is, so it is not necessary to rinse it through beforehand. Yet it did cloud up the water a bit when i filled up the tank. To combat the cloudiness, I did add some very fine filter wool into the filter to get the water clear in the end. The cloudiness will not affect fish or plants though.

The other two will be done soon as well. They do need a bit of light, yet how much I can't really say. I've seen setups that only received very little light, and they thrive.

where else would he take it from then??

It's totally OK to "take moss from nature".

What? It grows abundantly in nature.

It was a sad day, and I thought it was something to share, especially since they just came out of hibernation a few weeks before. Maybe at some pointed ill give a house plant tour🙂

Thank you so much for the support. It was not easy losing this colony, especially like you mentioned that with camponotus species or any large ant species in that sense, it's not easy to get the colony to grow to its full potential or even just past its founding stage. Was really hoping that I could get them back onto their feet this year again,especially after losing so many workers. Though I tried my best and will definitely try to get a new camponotus herculeanus queen this year, even though it was pure luck finding this queen😅.

I'm very happy that you stumbled across my videos and that you enjoy my content. I got into ant keeping threw watching a lot of terraristik and nature content myself. So very much know that there are a lot of people out there that enjoy both. There will definitely be more videos of ants on this channel for the future, yet a second channel for now would not be worth starting with just one ant colony😅 Though I do plan to gather more queens this year of different species and especially a new camponotus herculeanus queen. It is unfortunate that many other channels that even I followed for a long period have just stopped uploading after a while, and that AntsCanada is the only real one still producing content, even if, like you said not really the way that it used to be. The nests from Tarheel ants I find so far are the best,they look more natural to me, very well though out designs, especially with the water tanks, nest mates, and the magnetic connections. Have had the best results with these nests so far compared to other types of nests. Though just a pity that shipping to Europe is a bit pricy.

😥😥

I know....not my first colony that I've unfortunately lost. Yet I hope the next camponotus colony will do better.

I am very glad that you enjoyed the video, and there will be more updates soon. If they have too much space in the nest,they will use that space to store their rubbish, yet if the space is just right, the ants will take it out into their outworlds rather, where the humidity is lower and where nature would take care of it then.

Thank you. Well, one ant colony is not doing too well. I will give an update soon.
