Botanical Scape Scud Ecosphere

Рет қаралды 147,937

3 жыл бұрын

It's been awhile since I've made an ecosphere, but after I found the scuds in my plant haul, I knew it had to happen again. When the weather warms up, I have plans to do some more, so stay tuned for that!
I'm very surprised by how much fun I've had watching this setup. You'd think a few scuds and snails would be boring, but there's always something going on. I also think the rustic botanical scape is a perfect way to showcase these animals. It's certainly resembles areas where you'd find them in nature.
As always, let me know what you think about the project down in the comments! Thanks for watching and supporting the channel as well. I appreciate your viewership and can't wait to show you what else I have in store for this year... we haven't even started yet!

@@SerpaDesign kudos btw for your pronounciation of süßwassertang from a german viewer. it's almost there :) well and it's a prime example how we germans are the masters of compound words lol. süßwasser is just the german name for fresh water and literally means sweet water. salzwasser is ofc salt water. and tang is just our term for the type of algae. i always feel like english speakers tend to just ignore our äöü and pronounce them like aou. but you nail the ü.

Also, consider trying to get scuds established in some of your regular fish tanks if at all possible. They make a phenominal cleanup crew, and also serve as a steady stream of snacks for your fishies.
