Stopping an Ant Invasion in My Giant Rainforest Vivarium

[@jerrysstories711]

Something I really appreciate about your channel, that a lot of people won't even notice, is that you take the time to write good subtitles, instead of letting the AI do it poorly. I do the same on my little scifi channel. Hearing impaired folks like my dad and sister really appreciate it!

Im another who's grateful for good subtitles. Im not hearing impaired but still watch with subtitles for various reasons. My grandmother is hearing impaired making subtitles very neccesary. Im always very disappointed in the bigger channels who put so much effort into the quality of the video and audio but skip on subtitles. Good subtitles are a marker of a good video.

This channel is the KING of cliffhanger endings to the point of hilarity. I always get a good laugh at the end of each episode because of it. Though highly dramatized, this is probably one of the best channels to exist on KZbin. Ever. There is so much click bait and rage-inducing "engagement" fodder, and now AI regurgitation. It's so refreshing to see something with the production quality and writing sensibility of a TV show that still retains vast educational value. As a kid, I used to dream of having vivariums like this all the time, and watching this channel has reignited that in me. I am in the early planning stages of my own little project, but will be going in a very opposite direction to Pantdora and Orchadia. I am fascinated to see how -small- of a vivarium I can create with a sustainable ecosystem. Keep churning these out, I look forward to each episode!

[@publicacct5626]

I like AntsCanada a lot, but this channel is not great from an educational perspective. It would be nice if he brought some actual biologists onto the team.

[@mrgibbons9995]

​@publicacct5626 in a way it is tho, half of education is instilling a passion for what's being shown/taught.

[@memphiskyle]

Interesting to see people enjoy this channel for all sorts of reasons. I'm personally not into the story-telling aspect as much as learning about/observing the creatures' behavior. I usually skip the end of these videos because of the silly cliffhangers; I don't need fake drama to keep me interested in something, it's belittling.

[@publicacct5626]

@@mrgibbons9995 No being passionate and being educated are separate things. Sure passion/enthusiasm helps bring the energy required to learn, but you still actually need to put in the effort.

[@Flippokid]

I'm not so sure letting the fire ants thrive up in Orcadia is such a good idea. Right now they're (hopefully and most likely) outnumbered, and you can help the ants in Plantora by giving them excess protein. But if the fire ants get to thrive and grow, eventually they're going to outgrow Orcadia and then the Seven Nation Army can't hold them back. And once the fire ants are victorious they're going to open a rift through time and space and write a kick ass song about their victory.

[@milleniumonion7223]

If you are talking about the red ants, the red ants aren't fire ants. Still an invasive species tho

[@cosmicdust2668]

I think it's a difficult choice, especially since they aren't fire ants despite being red and there isn't a lot of information known about them, so judging how aggressive they are is difficult. Part of why he kept them is probably because so little is known about that species of ant, and he has the vivariums to learn about nature. Especially since some of his friends are specifically ant researchers, this is a really big opportunity to study a poorly understood species, even if it's also dangerous to the rest of the ecosystem. It makes it way harder to judge whether they really need to be taken out or if it's worth letting them stay.

[@Angus_m1x]

they're not fire ants they are a tetramorium species and they are actually native to places near the Phillipines so I think they're presence wouldn't be anywhere large as a threat to the ecosystem as fire ants would be

Please introduce some ant plants into orchadia. They are epiphytic, don’t require much light, and store water in their stems so will withstand the dry atmosphere. But most interestingly you could introduce the local ant species that live in ant plants which would be incredible.

maybe the reason the plants were dying was exactly the lack of treetop soil, orchadia lacks things like leaflitter and birds spreading nutrients on the tree branches that epiphytes use.

[@AntsCanada]

True! This should solve that problem. I'll try to add epiphytes here and there over time.

Maybe you need to spread leaf litter, sawdust and guano through the air periodically at the top of Orchadia to simulate the natural fall of nutrients from above? During the dry season winds probably carry stuff around & through the tree tops outside.

Some arboreal dart frogs would be cool to see in Orchadia. They have an absolute appetite for ants and have such unique behaviors across the lot of them.

Some will even carry their tadpoles on their backs up trees to put them in a bromeliad's water.🙂

[@user-uj8dh7gf4g]

I have to admit that I was never very keen on how Orchadia originally looked. To me, it appeared to be simply a thinner, less lush Pantdora. Now, with all the added leaves and a real canopy, it does look like a whole new and different ecosystem from below. Great job!

[@laurenivey]

One thing I've always enjoyed is how show us real examples of terrain you're mimicking. Specifically I was fascinated at 16:00 where you showed us what "canopy soil layers" actually look like to explain why you were putting in a little soil spot in Orcadia. Very cool! Also I don't know what your temperature set up is like but it's possible with all the organic matter in Pantdora, there's warm air rising up into Orcadia and making it more comfortable for the frogs. I think a fun addition could be to add humidity and temperature gauges to both Pantdora and Orchadia. I also think it would be really fun to maybe have a guest herpetologist kind of decipher your observations and explain things like why the frogs feel more comfortable in Orchadia, why the skinks don't climb up to Orchadia, maybe some fun facts on the specific species of animals.

[@kendrac886]

Wild that it occurs to you to check the plants going out of orcadia, but not the ones coming in.

[@tonyolmstead8282]

It’s likely intentional to an extent. It’s a great way to introduce new biodiversity of local species without having to do anything special like go out of his way to breed a colony. Of course it has its risks, but at the end of the day, he’s been doing this for *years.* He knows how to handle it if there’s some sort of super dangerous situation or pending ecological collapse. Plus, it’s all content anyways. If he was really that worried, he’d probably grow all his plants himself. But, the reality is, he *wants* the native biodiversity from plants he yoinks from outdoors. It’s really hard to create that sort of micro-ecosystem from scratch.

Question : what do you plan to do when one population of ants inevitably takes over the whole vavarium

[@rafexrafexowski4754]

It isn't inevitable. Different ant species live in different environments and eat different food, making competition minimal. Unless you are talking about an invasive takeover of course, which is always possible, especially now that AC accidentally added black crazy ants again, but the ecosystem is now so well established that I don't think even invasive species would massively impact it. The ghost ants are a notoriously dangerous invasive species, but they did not cause a single extinction despite still probably living in Pantdora. The Dark Horde only got so dominant because it had no competition. That's also how the Gnomads took over after the Dark Horde was removed and the Terra Raiders were wiped out by mites, despite gnome ants being native.

[@yokeharwong584]

Antscanada maybe you could make another vivarium

[@Anatomymisgivings]

Moga mission achieved! I’ve been missing the orchidia updates, I understand why now and I love that you addressed it in your usual fashion - with thought, research and love. So cool.

[@lamarblake]

I love your channel and greatly appreciate all the hard work you put into it. I never miss an episode every Sunday. I have to say though that the term "MOGA" hit me the wrong way for reasons I won't go into. ugh.

[@PeterPHasVids]

He's MAGA. I'm not surprised.

[@darlingcoffee3680]

Same here. My husband paused the video and turned to me and said, “did he just say what I think he said?” 😢 very sad about this.

[@CommonContentArchive]

Makes more sense if you know Filipino sense of humor and political humor, and I guess social structure. Life is very cheap, death squads are popular with the public, the rich often see the poor as sort of subhuman, and just generally, dehumanizing people with comparison to parasites or insects is normal in politics. My family there are diehard Duterte fans (from Davao, not surprisingly) and would love the MOGA jokes :)

[@Polar15-te2ym]

can't wait until his entire house becomes a giant vivarium xD

[@JarMaster]

I think we are getting there!

[@ckhawk00]

​@@groggydoggyThe symbol in the pfp is the "Anti-Furry" group. They are, well, against furries and the Furry Fandom. There reason goes from 'Furries are very cringe' to 'alot of furries either draw disgusting art, want to touch animal/child coouchie and overall being weird.' I am neutral and generally think not all furries are bad although some of them are. Your welcome.

[@groggydoggy]

@@ihechidorochibuike168 thank you for the answer (me being friends with several furries having no idea peolpe viewed them in that way)

[@Felground]

Dude, how many times are you going to have to get rid of black crazy ants!

[@Heavenbeetl]

I felt a disturbance on the universe when i heard Make Orcadia Great Again…

[@Tuck-Shop]

It was like the decay died back in a ripple.

[@Gokkee]

Lol 😂 Moga all way the is the only correct solution 😜👌

[@veeeff2323]

Made me want to stop watching

[@Gokkee]

@veeeff2323 lol xD how fragile are you? 🤣

[@shaneannandale457]

I know the higher parts of a rain forest are less humid because they get more wind plants did look a wilted maybe more cool breeze??

[@tomcatchurches6705]

It would be cool to see more animals traveling between Orcadia and Pantdora, maybe having more pathways up than just one? I hope Arcadia takes off as well.
