Tadpole to Toad! Epic Bio-Active Paludarium Build

In this video I make my first ever paludarium! A paludarium is like a terrarium and an aquarium combined. I found some tadpoles on a mountain in Argentina. I wanted to see them grow into frogs so I got a tank and made this piece of the outdoors in a box to be enjoyed. The plants filter the water, and the insects clean the land.

📣 The Good News Message 📣
We've all lied, stolen, hated, and done wrong. These are morally evil things that should be punished. However, God is not only just, but also love. He manifested Himself on earth in the person Jesus. He lived the perfect sinless life we are incapable of living yet died the death we deserve. Jesus bore the wrath of God as though He had committed all our sins. In other words, we owed God in death for our moral crimes, but Jesus paid the fine. He defeated death and rose again! This was so that our sin could be paid for justly, and so Jesus' perfect righteousness could be gifted to us who put our trust Him and what He did on our behalf. God deeply desires a relationship with you, but will not tolerate sin. You can be forgiven if you simply trust in the payment made for you. Turn from sin and trust in Christ because you are loved!

[@minecraftjavaedition1597]

First i want to say that you make absolutely nice Videos and i Love it. Im also building a Paludarium at the Moment but i dont exectly know wich animal i can Take. So i want to ask you : How often do you feed him? I am sumtimes 3 weeks not at home. Is it enaugh when i Put in many fruitflies? I have a big Paludarium so...

[@Practically_Nature]

I usually feed him once a day or every other day. I have been giving him larger bugs such as pill bugs now that he has grown. I also keep bugs that he can eat in there so he can eat if he catches one. I wouldn’t recommend leaving a frog or toad unattended for three weeks unless you’re able to keep a lot of insects he can eat in there. They aren’t always good at catching them either hehe. Hope that helps.

[@minecraftjavaedition1597]

Thank you for the Answer Enough insects i could keep in there but do they catch themselves enough?

[@Practically_Nature]

@@minecraftjavaedition1597 As long as the frog/toad has a place to hide where bugs regularly pass, it should be fine. You'll also need to make sure it always has access to water.

[@CrankWavesbackupchannel]

How has the vegetation in the paludarium hold up for the last few months?

[@Practically_Nature]

I replaced a few plants but most of them were doing really well! I did change out that tank entirely to put some goldfish in there a while back. You can see that vid on my channel, as well as when I made the toad a new terrarium.

[@CrankWavesbackupchannel]

@@Practically_Nature I saw that one too. I found it a very well made video! I'm glad I found this channel. I hope you grow alot in the future. There's definitely alot I can learn from you when it comes to making videos in general.
