I went on a month long road trip one time and asked a friend if he could take care of my fish while I was gone. I had a decent size tank with more than a few different kind of fish in there. Shortly after I left, the person meant to watch the tank would get themselves arrested and go to jail, unbeknownst to me. This was before cell phones, so he couldn't contact me to let me know. I end up being gone over a month. The fish tank became an every fish for itself deathmatch, with the losers being eaten by it's hungry opponent. When I came back I surprisingly found only one surviving fish left. It was eating one of its own kind. It was a kissing fish. It would seem that of all the fish, two kissing fish would end up being the fiercest killers, eventually having to turn on each other. There wasn't even really any pieces of the ten or more other fish in there. I bought more fish, but any fish I put in would get attacked by the now traumatized kisser fish that used to be so peaceful. Sometimes it would wait awhile and I would wake up to find it eating another fish that it killed. I eventually didn't get any more fish until the kisser passed away.

I found myself missing the denizens of this vivarium lately. I lost my dear Husband, with whom I had celebrated 49 wonderful years of Marriage last December 13. He died April 13, and I am learning to live a completely different life from what we shared. It made me think about these amazing creatures suddenly having to find their way in an alien landscape, encountering new predators and different prey. I figure, if they could do it…so can I. However surreal this new life often seems, I am gradually adjusting, as they did. I just wanted to thank you for bringing comfort when I most needed it. You have been a bright spot in my life since I found you, and I often shared your uploads with him. I just had to view this retrospective journey again, with its highs and lows, Yet always bursting with life, sometimes fighting, but more often making truces to live peacefully together. I was sad for all the things I felt it still had to teach us, yet thankful for the many mysteries it DID grant us glimpses of along the way. Those termites still confound me, I never knew they could have such a varied diet. The hammerhead will always live in my fond memories, along with many more characters who displayed their beauty, and idiosyncrasies of behaviour. Thank you again…SO very much.🖤🇨🇦

Great video! I've seen long before a documentary about salmon, and it said that salmon is the base of the biodiversity in the rivers where they swin. A lot of animals wait for them to arrive from the sea, for meal and for fertilization of the soil. Maybe that's the reason why it was prefered by almost all creatures.

The unidentified "Lush plant" is a Begonia.

[@andrewd3525]

I love your videos and the vivarium! The only suggestion I have is that you should show more shots of the whole vivarium that way we get a sense of scale. The close-up shots are cool and all but I think more shots of the whole vivarium would help emphasize and show that everything is self-contained in this awesome little world you built. Only close-up shots just makes it feel like another nature documentary :-)

Fungi breakdown deposits of wood to make them more easily eaten and digested. Cultivating fungi in this way is essentially like making a large bakery or maybe even akin to a large underground organic mill.

[@gsthenelipottreehuger7755]

The wierd looking worm with the tube protruding from its snout in the pond is actually a Rat-tailed larvae. They turn into Botflies that help pollinate vegetation like bees. The reason they turned up your vivarium's water is because it was lacking oxygen.

Wonder if introducing duckweed into the pond might be a good idea, helping slow down evaporation and absorbing excess nutrients. With the leaves getting stuck on semi aquatic animals like amphibians as they travel between land and water, when they rub off on the ground, they dry up and become food for isopods and millipedes.

did you know the game bug fables? Its a rpg game where you play a bee, a beetle and a moth, and you will find out that the whole story takes place in an abandoned garden and house. The story is really complex and interesting, with many kingdoms of ants, bees, wasps,and termites, with conflicts and war and all that stuff. And i think the story of this vivarium whould fit perfectly in the game as part two, where you slowly find out that the whole adventure takes place in a giant vivarium, with a godlike owner changing things in it, for example introducing the argentine ants as the enemies. And to stop the argentine ants, the kingdoms have to end their own fights and work toghether. I think this whould be brilliant for a sequel of the game.

I’d love to see you challenge yourself and make a vivarium based of the dessert, I’ve been thinking about making one based off of native life in my area but don’t know how well desert ecosystems do in captivity, I feel they are more delicate in captivity compared to the wild.
