I Made a Mini Indoor Pond, Here’s How!

In this video I’ll take you through the journey of creating a mini indoor pond, & showing you how it evolves over 90 days. The pond is a low tech setup with no filter, co2 & very few water changes. An ecosystem like this one is a perfect way to bring a slice of nature inside & it’s ideal for beginners due to its simplicity. Enjoy the video:)

[@matiasjuanlopez]

Have you tried to use dried spagnum moss instead of tissues? I've discovered that fixes very fast, it's easy and looks more natural

[@TerrariumDesigns]

I haven’t but that seems like a great idea, will certainly give it a go:)

[@keithsibal7461]

A minor correction to the dimensions in inches - the tank is about 4" deep rather than 10". Beautiful scape!

[@antsfarm9x]

Very good video, I really like it. I'm also making videos about ants and ecosystems like that! Please support me

[@kavindudilshan7108]

Plz do a room tour video 😊

[@awildpersonappeared]

I am blown away by every new build you make. I thought this would be your best, but that reveal at the end changed everything! Both are so stunning!

[@TerrariumDesigns]

Thank you! Excited to release it😃

[@dustinyeager3951]

I've been watching you for around a year now😂😂😂

[@AwkwardBirb]

Aw, it must be such a great feeling to see those shrimp thriving so much under your care! ❤

[@TerrariumDesigns]

It really is!😃

[@blacklightbennett]

I love how you make these small or big, lands for animals needing a better home, because they were just in a box or in the forest that has trash. ( some do ) And you give them a better home! 🏡 ❤🦎

[@GreytGame-be9wi]

Love the details in the wood

[@craig559]

If anyone wants a bigger shallow tank I’d recommend WIO I have a 60x35x22 and a 60x30x16 both great tanks

Nice vid! What lighting solutions do you recommend for terrariums?

I loved the aquarium and seeing the baby shrimp 🦐🦐 I live in New Zealand and time is 5 am

[@mahydihacen2198]

I think that's a heaven for the fish😊😊😊

[@Sanyasi_Baba_01]

Beautiful planted setup Glad to see those tiny babies 👶 💕 I Rate it a 10/10 Here is a piece of pizza 🍕 for you for creating such a beautiful scape

[@gamer1672]

Awesome!!

[@andreagalda28]

Love the scape. I was with you up until you added the duckweed.... so pretty, but such a nuance 😆

[@craigquinn8225]

i have a scape very similar to what you just built. so i obviously love it lol

[@Luaponyt]

Great vid

[@hafezmohammadi9675]

Wow it is so brilliant, so nice work How often and how you change the water?!

[@jmarshal]

Love it. I would really like one like this for shrimp. I’m tempted to try…

[@TerrariumDesigns]

You should definitely try. It’s super low maintenance:)

[@glennprovenzano1837]

awesome

[@tanyakutasz6911]

This is lovely, I love how it all comes together! 😄 One question: what sort of lighting did you have this in? A particular direction facing window, or artificial lighting, or?

[@kiransistla6013]

Superb build. Very clean and perfect combo of plants. How do you refill water once the setup is completely established without disturbing it?

[@FaFromCastle]

Amazing! You earned a sub!

[@TerrariumDesigns]

Thanks! Welcome😃

[@miscelaneousVideos]

what did you use for lighting for the plants?

[@spikemacken6104]

This is an awesome build! Do you usually buy plants & shrimp online or from a shop?

[@jaquelinewatson7406]

Awesome mine pond, I’d live to make one but don’t think I’m talented enough…do you change the H20 or world you put an airator in there??

[@AtiqurRahmanTipu-zi8qc]

Nice ❤

[@Rob.van.D]

very nice! Can the stones be glued with any kind of superglue?

[@shelbs8552]

Ive been looking into getting some cherry shrimp for myself, and I'm just curious how do they do without a pump for water flow? Ive been seeing that as a good thing to have but maybe it depends on the tank size as well?

[@user-em3hv7oz4c]

Great setup! What do you feed the shrimp? Or do they feed off the algae and plants? (Sorry for the amateur question) lol.

[@azulrus7775]

I'm blown away at every one of your videos! I did something very similar but unfortunately my shrimps did not survive and I'm unsure why. Do you use tap water for your water changes?

[@ranggadanuartal1658]

Hello can you explain how to maintenance and what you feed the shrim and maybe how many you feed the shrimp /day I hope you answer this comment thankyou 😊

[@billyxkid5062]

How do you take care of it? I’ve always wanted a pound but can’t have one at my house I do have a fish tank, but it’s really not the same I absolutely love this and plan on making this

[@qSonhop]

as a total newbie when it comes to shrimps in general, but what do they eat in that ecosystem? do you need to add any type of food for them?

[@Kennyjustdoit]

Cool how we got to see the baby shrimps, go from little eggs. To baby shrimps.

[@TerrariumDesigns]

It really is!😃

[@Kennyjustdoit]

@@TerrariumDesigns facts!

[@haberjon00o]

how do you control the growth of these plants? surely you must remove some in order to keep them from overgrowing?

[@DashingAmar-kb8zq]

Wow🎉

[@Thefartfather]

Love the vid! Where do you get your plants the projects?

[@TerrariumDesigns]

Usually from aquarium stores online. Riverwood aquarium & aquarium gardens are some good places in the uk:)

[@Artem_Safarov]

Fantastic work and the shrimp look so nice and comfortable there! How often do you find you need to top up the water in the pond and does it not stagnate in a no-filter environment? Would springtails make sense in a setup like this or there's not enough dry land for them / no way to keep them inside the setup? Thank you!

[@TerrariumDesigns]

I had the same thought with springtails, I think is there’s just not enough dry land & they would easily find their way out. I’ve been topping up ever 3-5 days & 20% water change every 3-4 weeks. No issues with stagnation yet & I think that’s due to the plants. Hope this was helpful:)

[@ThexEpicxMechanic]

Fantastic build! How would you recommend someone starting out getting some plants?

[@TerrariumDesigns]

Thanks! For the aquatic plants, fish shops usually offer a good selection. Plants like Fittonia & asparagus ferns are often sold in garden centres. Online is a great option too:)

[@14pedro415]

What do you use to light it

[@kaatilbilla]

Please make more indoor ponds! Maybe a turtle one?

[@TerrariumDesigns]

That would be cool!

[@stolid_3]

i recently made a closed terrarium with a small pond feature, but the water in the pond keeps evaporating. is there any way to stop this?

Is it possible to add beta fosh to one of these?

[@grassavijk7223]

I've been watching your videos for a minute and have just been given a 20 gallon tank. I was wondering if you had any advice or recommendations of any type of vivarium with live creatures that isn't just some type of fish tank. Thank you kindly and I love your videos. I'd also appreciate it if anyone from this community could contribute some advice, it'd be greatly appreciated :)

[@Luncher100]

I notice that the other asparagus fern has one yellowing frond. Mine has died and I think it might be because they don't like too much light. You didn't, by the way, tell us anything about how you lit this setup. I'd be interested to know.

[@livinginglass]

What other types of shrimp would work

[@masterchief7985]

Sherpa design??🤣great weejo

[@philippariat3793]

what about water change and filtration, please help n comment

The plants act as the filter. As for water charges I do about a 20% water change every 3-4 weeks

They need a minimum of 5 gallons of water and a filter and a heater. Anything less isn't suitable for them.
