My Cloud Rainforest Vivarium: 1 YR Later

Those little aquatic worms look like detritus worms. If so, they are not parasitic, just scavengers. I am a zoology major and studied parasitology, but of course I could be wrong so when you move the caiman it wouldnt hurt to take in a fecal sample to an exotic vet for a fecal float to ensure there aren't any nasty parasites that could inhibit his health. To add, when you move Godzilla, adding fish can be good to control the worm population.

[@AntsCanada]

Ahhh thank you! Noted!

[@elliotlane5070]

Been an aquarium keeper for 20 years! I agree on all of the above, especially that those are just detritus worms!!

[@Soph-xr4br]

@@AntsCanada also to ease your mind a bit, most parasitic worms (or parasites in general) can not live outside of the host for long so the fact that there are so many thriving probably means they are just stand alone organisms! 😄

[@alexandrachernysh7]

I believe it's the first time in many months watching this series that I broke into tears.. I felt very sorry for poor weaver ants, it's not something that I would get particularly emotional over, but seeing these last few ants cuddle together and barely moving under a leaf - broke me. Insects are often compared to organic machines, with very little individual mind of their own. But these poor last handful of workers, when left without purpose, when there's nowhere to go, no one to care for or protect, no more order or trail to follow - their last instinct is to hug and hold each other close

[@cbulldog22]

[@robbybevard8034]

I think you just put the weaver ants into an area without the kinds of leaves they needed. They didn't want the small sappy banyan trees so they settled for vines, but... that wasn't their ideal for their protection or setup since they had to split their queen groups apart and couldn't really make a base.

[@martinhuhn7813]

Exactly. He kept weaver ants before and for those he carefully chose a suitable host tree. But there was no habitat in Orchadia and in Pantdora there were only spots with few soft leaves which they could combine, but no proper tree for a growing colony.

[@NoahHagen]

I can’t help but agree, those ants sometimes dominate entire trees, which he simply cannot provide.

[@AidenHaigh-nf7zi]

What he says at 9:48 Haha....... 😳

[@bluuangel004]

Agree. The fact that we have seen little to no video footage of leaf nests in his videos when they were still thriving up to their extinction means that the ants were not able to adapt.

[@jikemusic8081]

​@@bluuangel004 Go to his old videos, we literally see several leaf nest littered through the vines. It seems like the lack of nests now, would suggest a mass consumption event, not necessarily a lack of adaptation. Not to mention it's been like 3 months since they've been added. If they were unable to adapt, it would have shown much sooner as most species, especially specialized species, will die off within a single month let alone several

[@robbybevard8034]

@@t.kersten7695 They had sheer numbers on their side but he didn't give them any plants they could use. The banyan leaves were too small and waxy for their needs so they settled for leaves on vines... which also weren't ideal and meant they had to spread out to multiple mini nests instead of having one or two really well defended nests with thousands of guards.

If u bond with em which works really well for some reason with them, some actually really really enjoy your presence and engage with you in cutely ways and manners. Even my mother that absolutely despises spiders thinks theyre cute and she wouldn't mind if i introduce her to the world of jumping spiders 😊 im thinking about getting a beautiful white one with purple, i call em the cheeks ion know how theyre called in english. They are also not expensive and their prey are fruit flies and like mosquitoes which is awesom cause you can just catch em and introduce em to your little apex predator with for some reason calm and cute looking eyes focusing on his tasty prey his enormous hooman fren brought in his little domain in your room. 😅 Edit: im sorry for my excitement but i never really liked spiders that much but jumping spiders got something special and i felt like this is my time to introduce someone else maybe😅

The weavers were spotted suffering from fungus infections. They might not be suited to the humidity in the vivarium. Even their first concern was establishing multiple nests for ventilation, and adjusting their nests for ventilation. THey probably needed more airflow and a delicate, dryer condition despite how close they are to such a humid environment. I can imagine the airflow they may like in a natural environment hat isn't present here.

[@antloveforeverrobloxplayer8147]

As someone who has kept both weavers and dolichoderus before, here are my theories for their disappearances - It is unlikely for the bullet ants to have been the sole cause behind the demise of the weavers. Asian bullet ants are a fairly large species of ant and are mainly terrestrial, making climbing vines while fighting against the mainly arboreal and fairly ranged weaver ants not a good idea for them. The numbers of the weaver ants would have also made it difficult for the then relatively small colony of asian bullet ants to mount an effective attack into the leaves and branches of the weaver ant domain. Thus my theory is that some unknow factor, maybe increased competition, disease or something else severely weakened the workers and queens of the weaver colony, thus allowing the bullet ant colony to grow in size. at the same time, due to the decrease in numbers, less food would be gathered by less existing workers to feed the queens and brood and this would continue in a downward spiral. less food->less brood->less workers-> less food etc. meanwhile, this means more food for competitors, ie the bullet ants. at a certain point, the weaver ants would become unable to hold their own against a bullet ant attack which is precisely what happened eventually, leading to their demise and "extinction". In conclusion the weaver ants likely fell victim to an unknow factor that weakened their colony and they were unable to recover, allowing their competitors to raid their nests and kill them. -for the dolichoderus, in my experience they are extremely fragile as a species when relocated to a new location and are also not avid hunters unlike larger species such as trapjaws. Thus they likely failed to acquire the proper resources needed to sustain their colony and died.

Yes getting the waterfall in action again would be great. That would be a perfect opportunity to add more epiphytes is they are an integral part of the tropical rainforest . There are many small orchids that would thrive there such as species of Dendrobium and Pleurothallis. Also there are species of small creeping ferns which are epiphytic and would do very well on the waterfall.

It's been a crazy year full of ups and downs, but well worth it. Roll on season 4 of this epic saga.

Thank you for this year! I always loved nature and animals, but insects always scare me a little bit. Your video's made me see how much these insects do for us, and I found myself caring about it a lot during this year of the rainforest vivarium and arcadia, lovely to see all the little personalities of the insects and other animals.

Funny to see those Bagworms, very cool disguise!

[@MikesFoggyIdea]

At first it was a huge area but as the inhabitants increased it felt like it was getting smaller. I was surprised how so many different kinds of ants got along so well in a small place until two species were eliminated, nature found its diversity ceiling. Looking forward to the expansion, feels like it needs to at least double in capacity.

43 minutes?!!! THANK YOU! I LIKE THE LONG DURATION VIDEOS

[@gregbush8573]

Planarians, the worms are detritivore planarian worms, basically they are the aquatic version of your mites, springtails, etc. They drive the very cleanliness you were describing in that ecosystem, breaking down the larger waste items down, feeds the nitrogen cycle and ultimately becomes growth for the plants that are rooting into water.
