I Built a Lake Ecosystem on My Desk

In this video, I built a fully functional lake ecosystem on my desk. I filled the tank up with the coolest species I could find, starting with plants, and eventually getting to shrimp, snails, fish, and even more… Not only did I document the process of building it, but also the daily lifestyle of every creature living inside and how they survive. Watch to the end to see how it finished off!
Thanks to tanksfornothin for inspiring this video, go check his channel out!

Thanks for watching! Quick correction from the video: those fish are not neon tetras but glofish, I’m not sure how I got that mixed up. I hope you enjoyed, and let me know if you have any other video ideas!

Btw the Tannis are actually really healthy for fish, it helps stop bacterial and fungal infections and the fish like who like to hide more like it because they are hidden easier

Thanks for commenting, I pinned a comment about it. I didn’t realize, I just bought a fish that is compatible with the minimal requirements of my 20 gallon tank and have no idea how I mixed up the name so I appreciate you clarifying

@Voltic_Dash 2 ай бұрын

@@Mayfrogo It's not actually dye, they glow due to proteins taken from bioluminescent jellyfish being placed into their bodies. Like most animals humans made glow, it's to view how certain features of the body "light up" so they can be easily observed by scientists

@plaguenite 2 ай бұрын

they're genetically modified by planting a jellyfish gen, these fish were born normally, just their ancestors were modified

Just so you know. Yo-Yo loaches can get pretty big, around 3-6 inches as adults. I’d recommend nothing smaller than a 40 gallon for them to be happy. Though the fact you mixed up glo fish with neons made my day. Though I hope you the best of success!

@TerraGreen1 2 ай бұрын

Thanks for the info! The place I got them says they were good for 20 gallons, but if they do grow up that large I'll definitely make them a bigger tank.
