In this video I’ll take you through the journey of creating a mini indoor pond, & showing you how it evolves over 90 days. The pond is a low tech setup with no filter, co2 & very few water changes. An ecosystem like this one is a perfect way to bring a slice of nature inside & it’s ideal for beginners due to its simplicity. Enjoy the video:)

Have you tried to use dried spagnum moss instead of tissues? I've discovered that fixes very fast, it's easy and looks more natural

A minor correction to the dimensions in inches - the tank is about 4" deep rather than 10". Beautiful scape!

@Minyassa Ай бұрын

That's beautiful. I was a little worried at first with rocks and wood and plants all up against the edges and projecting upward, but I guess cherry shrimp are smart enough to stay in the water...unlike some FISH and other aquatic critters I've had! What do the shrimp eat, are they algae grazers or are they eating plankton or similar?

Just put a thick piece of plastic wrap in the tank like in the video and turn on the water pump at a light speed.

HI! Great video, I would like to know if along with those shrimps there was any other type of animal that can ''coexist'' with them, whether in the water or out. A thousand thanks.

@WackWacky-vc5ed 11 күн бұрын

Most nano fish Are fine If they are in the 10 gallon and below size. Above that it's still fine because the shrimp know how to avoid the fish But 1 or 2 will get eaten every now and then.

@Artem_Safarov 2 ай бұрын

Fantastic work and the shrimp look so nice and comfortable there! How often do you find you need to top up the water in the pond and does it not stagnate in a no-filter environment? Would springtails make sense in a setup like this or there's not enough dry land for them / no way to keep them inside the setup? Thank you!

@TerrariumDesigns 2 ай бұрын

I had the same thought with springtails, I think is there’s just not enough dry land & they would easily find their way out. I’ve been topping up ever 3-5 days & 20% water change every 3-4 weeks. No issues with stagnation yet & I think that’s due to the plants. Hope this was helpful:)

I was wondering if you had any advice or recommendations of any type of vivarium with live creatures that isn't just some type of fish tank. Thank you kindly and I love your videos. I'd also appreciate it if anyone from this community could contribute some advice, it'd be greatly appreciated :)
