I Added Animals Into My Giant Rainforest Vivarium
I created my dream tank, a 1000 gallon cloud rainforest vivarium, and constructing it has been quite a journey. It is fully stocked with tropical plants, automated climate control, and even some creatures that managed to sneak in through the terrarium decor. However, the goal of the vivarium experiment was to recreate and study a rainforest ecosystem so to complete the project, I needed to add more animals. Little did I know, doing so would amp up the biological action within the vivarium in a way that I could never have predicted. Hope you enjoy Part 6 of my ecosystem vivarium series. Ant love forever!

I’m so happy to finally see this project come to a close also so we can see what happens in the future
Excited to see all the creatures getting settled into this habitat

Basically, yes. 😭
They are both cool!
I was going to say the same thing LoL
Coach roaches are more cooler
LOL
the most impressive part is that you werent scared to be near all those bugs

Videos like this feel like they could be on TV
Thanks for watching!
Except for the overly enthusiastic narrator.
Some would argue social media is the new tv.
Videos like this is why TV is dying out
@@y33T123 He could make a 2 hour vid on paint dryin' and it would be so good
This guy literally feels like an evil/misunderstood scientist, who just looks and sounds evil, but is actually a very good guy.
As someone who has worked at PetSmart working with crickets for over 2 years. I can say, without a shadow of a doubt, that crickets, through some sort of unholy dark magic, no matter how small or avoidable it is, will always find a way to drown themselves in a body of water and die. So I don't think you need to worry to much about the other insects drowning, this is just what crickets do lol.
i almost wonder if its on purpose
They know something we don't.
Spinochordodes tellinii perhaps?
Bro crickets die if you look at them wrong 🥴 they’re so dramatic lol.
Lol i had mine always die in the water dishes of my arachnids but then I just added little rocks that were enough to save the crickets and enough to let the animals drink
This would be so cool if it have a 24/7 live stream where we can see animals activity real-time...
I’m pretty sure he said he was working on that
I concur
with tiny action cams placed around the enclosure for multiple angles yees
i'm not sure he could do that but maybe if he only dose it when he put things like fruit ant other food in so we could see the animals feeding
this one guy we're all watcing seems to do it pretty well I trust his technique almost like ant propaganda
"... The coolest roaches -" Me: "There's no such thing as 'coolest roac- OH METALIC COLORED ROACHS!'"
if my apartment had been metallic roach infested maybe i would have been a little less pissed off about it xD
Pretty sure that Gecko's death was unnatural. In nature there wouldn't be nearly as high a population of ants in such a small area and there would be ways for it to escape the ants.
So???
@@bapake_arek2 So the channel creator is a barbarian that tortures and kills animals for views.
@@bapake_arek2so it’s kind of like sealing you in your house with a pack of wolves and calling it balanced nature

A true tour de force
I love how you called it ‘Gaia’ as she is Mother Earth/goddess of Earth in Greek Mythology! That little touch made me enjoy the video more.
I'm so glad!
No,no, Gaia wasnt just the goddess of the Earth she WAS THE Earth
So interesting, initially I thought that releasing that many things so fast would be too much. But seeing how fast everything got processed and re-used by the other parts of the ecosystem made me realize just how common predator/prey deaths were on a day by day basis.
Adding carnivorous plants to the enclosure would be amazing. They seem like a perfect fit and could create unique and captivating viewing experiences.
Especially because he added too many insects!!!😮
carnivorous plants only exist where there aren't a lot of nutrients, hence why they're carnivorous. (nutrients being nitrogen)
@@3217491they can still survive in good environments
@@melodylonganglin997you will need as many insects as you can. He hasn't even added the predators higher up on the food chain yet
@@quetzalcoatlz He should add millipede's, centipede's and a few vampire crabs to eat all the dead insects that drown in the water. He could also add ghost shrimp & snails as a clean up crew for the water section and even a few small fish like endler's livebearer guppy's.

That sounds like an incredible journey into creating a miniature ecosystem! Adding animals to a giant rainforest vivarium must bring such a dynamic and lively aspect to it. It's fascinating how each creature plays a role in maintaining the balance of this mini rainforest. The idea of replicating nature's complexity on a smaller scale is truly a remarkable endeavor. I can imagine the vivid colors and diverse behaviors of the animals adding so much vibrancy to the vivarium. It's a beautiful way to connect with nature and appreciate the intricacies of different habitats. Keep exploring and enjoying the wonders of the natural world! 🌿🐸🦋
The only thing that bothers me is the fact that ants colonies can pretty much kill every single animal in there with sheer numbers ☹️
I remember when this guy was picking bugs off the sidewalk 😭 He's come so far it's crazy 🤯

Me too bro and I was like 8 I’m now 18
The best part part is that the prolly still does that.
Man I remember those days!!
Loving how you take Nitiri's words in such depth. All energy is only borrowed, and someday we have to give it back. Huge Avatar fan so love the name Pantdora for this vivarium.
All I could think of at 25:20 was har har har har har har har har har har. Seriously though, I started watching you when I was 9 and have been amazed again and again by how much you evolved as a youtuber, but essentially a god (In the eyes of the creatures, of course.) I'm 15 now and can't wait to see how this Vivarium grows!
Me too! Me when the ants are gamers.
man i sure hope i can survive the rain tonight! fredrick fazbearington:
The level of quality on this video is absolutely insane. This is seriously an incredible project. Felt like I was watching a documentary.
It was a documentary. A series the building & stocking of the vivarium
Wait, roaches don’t creep you out but earthworms do? That’s unusual, to be sure. Great content, very interesting!
To me, worms are creepier than roaches
I’ve never seen a roach but they are creepy also I live in a area with tons of worms during spring and summer so I guess they aren’t creepy to me cuz I’m used to them
i hate flying roaches, but when they just walking i respect them

Vivariums are so beautiful, they also make my skin crawl, an odd juxtaposition
The fact that we get free videos on KZhead by AntsCanada is truly a gift. 👏👏👏

almost all videos on KZhead are free...
Uhh… what do you even mean by “free videos”? 💀
I can kinda see where they are getting at. Stuff like this usaully cost money. Especially if it is so good like this.
Fun Fact: Did you know that the largest ant colony ever discovered was over 3,700 miles wide? That’s wider than the entire continental United States! Your vivarium is so unique and interesting. I love how you’re open to new ideas and engaging with your audience. Your passion for this project is contagious, and I’m excited to see what you come up with next!
cool!
Thats horrifying
How was that even verified???

I’ve recently rediscovered your channel and what amazes me every time I watch your videos is that I’m not a big person. I’m not squeamish but definitely wouldn’t want any of them in my home and yet I’m so interested in everything you do. I remember now why i used to binge your videos. They are so interesting and entertaining to me.
I’d love to see you add some carnivorous plants to the enclosure, feel like they would fit right in and make for some really cool viewing experiences
Agreed!
Does that mean your going to do it?
Well the ants and other animals would end up killing them
I thought the same thing because the same plants are in rainforest
@@AntsCanada and to give a suggestion on a fish what about a betta?
This is some of the most insane high end level content I have ever seen on KZhead in over 10 years. Deserves all the views it gets and more bro, I appreciate your work.

WOW I AGREE! i have never seen anything like this EVER! just so unbelievable!
Yes, I agree ! It is like a NatGeo show 👏👏
Take a shot everytime bro says vivarium
imagine our god has youtube channel and do the same to us :))
God isn’t real
I love how AntsCanada dude's like "I will not, under any circumstances, be adding black crazy ants or fire ants to my vivarium" and mother nature's just like "okay. hold my beer."
I wouldn't put House Geckos with ants, because they're prey to the ants; its true ants can't catch geckos, but there's nowhere that gecko can hide that the ants can't reach. The ants can just bite the gecko continously and wear the health of the gecko down till it expires. :(

After watching it, all think is our world is created with such perfection of minute details, that it makes me overwhelmed thinking of it.

That was so exciting! The best way to explain nature, thank you so much for such a documentary.
This is one of the greatest things I've ever seen. Im truly jealous😮
Honestly these are the only videos I “wait for” on KZhead! Love this channel so much! No one creates complete ecosystems like you do!! (Besides maybe Serpa Designs but that’s it) It seriously feels like you took a chunk out of an authentic cloud rainforest and preserved it in a glass box! I love the morning fog, and rainstorms it makes it 10,000 times cooler.
Same, I kept refreshing on Saturday waiting for it to show up. Glad it wasn’t a missed upload this week
Thank you! Ant love forever! 🙏
@@AntsCanadahello can you do a video about how to keep Carebara diversa and what is the best nest for them
True
If you like Ac Canada that much you should also check out Brave Wilderness he's a zoologist and talks about animals and incets and he uploads on the weekends too So I just binge ac Canada and brave Wilderness some times haha
This is a thousand times better than watching TV! I would sit there all day long and watch. So exciting, can’t wait for a new upload. Happy new year Ants Canada!
Yup and now we wait till his next epic Antcanada video... when this one was didn't drop yesterday I thought the ants broke out teamed up and hauled Mikey off to the secret humarium they built while Mikey was sleeping. Thought they were waiting for the right moment when their size was large enough to make him the star of the humarium ... lol
A 24hr live stream of this enclosure would be amazing
When I found Antscanada a few years ago, 3 videos in from the one I found I had to click his 'play all' playlist! 😅 I then binged his older videos for the next 2 weeks until I reached the current and have been watching weekly ever since! 🥰
SAME,SAME,SAME!!!!!!!
the ridiculous amount of ants will ruin the entire ecosystem
It started as just watching ant hills fight. Now he’s a scientist watching nature thrive. What a true transformation.
For the water: Freshwater shrimp. Something from the Neocaridina genus, esp. Cherry Reds. Those are fairly hardy and breed readily. you can partner them with aquatic snails and maybe some kind of catfish like an otocinclas or corydora.
I agree eith the cherry shrimp and snails but I don't think the pond is large enough for even the smaller species of catfish
The parameters of the water should be tested before picking any species. Lot of organic matter in there so the pH might be pretty low and not match the shrimps’ needs.
Can I put my vote in for Tangerine Tiger Shrimp?
i don't know anything about shrimp but if you can add a mantis shrimp, somehow, for the chaos, please proceed accordingly :p
I can't believe I'm saying this... but the jumping spiders have my vote for "The cutest"
I agree
😂😂 I know... they aren't the typical "puppy dog" cute but they do find themselves in that category somehow 🤣🤣
I’ve been watching you since I started high school in 2016. I’m so happy that you’re doing this. You’ve grown so much and these videos bring me so much joy. Keep it up!
The mullet fish would be a great addition to your pond if you're still looking for one! Certain species of mullet, such as the striped mullet, are detritivores, feeding on organic matter found in sediment and detritus on the ocean floor.the striped mullet (Mugil cephalus) is known to inhabit both marine and freshwater habitats, including estuaries, rivers, and ponds. These fish are adaptable and can tolerate a wide range of salinities, allowing them to thrive in various aquatic environments!
Sad about the poor Gecko :( I think it very likely that she could have been overwhelmed by how many ants you have in there. Lots of repeated bites and venom could have easily taken her down if they caught her in her sleep or something. Doesn't seem like there would have been many spots safe from the ants in that enclosure.
Having that Gecko in there was one of his less well thought ideas.
I knew it was going to happen as soon as I saw the number of ants that were being added. They attack and do exactly what was said above. Poor thing. But I hope it doesn't happen again. I'm sure it was a hard lesson.
I was annoyed how many times I heard "maybe died of natural causes" - um, no - this is an ecosystem where the apex predators are actually the ants
I agree, I feel bad for that poor baby. I want to like this video, but she was just mistreated by being left in there withan overwhelming amount of predators. I was sad to see her treated that way.@@PsyckoSama
That vivarium was essentially a torture chamber for that poor gecko. Outnumbered by thousands of ants in a space that's still a small enclosure when you consider that they occupy a range of probably a couple kilometers in the wild. Nature is brutal but when we manipulate it according to our human whims it becomes a bit uncanny and sadistic.
Im being so serious, you should have your own TV network you can run from your home like this with more resources for you bugs. This is the kind of content kids should watch to really learn about nature. You would absolutely be held in the same regards as shows like blues clues, wild kratz, the electric company, ect
Agreed!!
All he would have to do is leave a live stream up 24/7
But TV sucks so much! The hour long ad breaks everytime. Thankfully streaming and video hosting services are out competing this garbage with our generations and TV will become obsolete some day.
@adamtrimble2586 a live stream is going to show you absolutely nothing, these videos need to be heavily filmed and edited to actually show you what is going on.
disney plus 😂
this felt like a science fiction documentary. It makes me want to write a book about alien gods terraforming a planet and the perspective of the story is from the little bug creatures that live in it. Sort of a Love Is The Plan; The Plan Is Death x Ender's Game feel
It was the perfect time to finally add, one of our higher predators. (steps inside cube)
I wouldn't be surprised if you had your own NatGeo Wild show, you have the skills in narration and in your camera work to make it interesting!
Thanks for watching!🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜
I love watching these, so interesting. Definitely needs to be an actual show
Being on KZhead doesn't stop it from being a real show @@shrimp_bucket
Yo somebody hit up natgeo we need him on there
for realssss he deserves it
ant daddy being afraid of worms is so oddly on brand i love it
*Ant Daddy* lol I'm not gonna be able to unthink this because it's so fitting... 😅😅😅😍😍😍
Afraid of earthworms but loves roaches, of all things
Then immediately sayd check out these cute beetle grubs lmao
Any daddy
No kidding but he handled the roaches fine. I will be dead. I hate roaches. I move the earth worms all the time I my pot garden. They like to hang under the pots and if I move the pot they panic as they hate heat light and sun and I just place them somewhere shady and moist to crawl in the ground. I even got used to pick slugs with bare hands and spiders but roach is bit too far for me for now.
I could sit and stare into this tank all day. ❤
How atmospheric is this?! I never thought I’d get so sucked into a video about an environment for bugs, but here we are.
For the water, you want scuds. They're native to every corner of the world, and are relentless scavengers that will pick apart ANY source of protein they have access to. All your other options like fish or amano shrimp will be too large to produce new generations in that pond like you want for this ecosystem. They play nice with daphnia magna (filter feders), and freshwater isopods (substrate feeders).
Pleeease never stop with the Vivarium series!! I'm so mesmerized and it made my day! Love it so much! Thank you!
Glad you enjoy it!
@@AntsCanadaCan u pls add mudskipper
Too big @@pallavighosh989
I love how he sounded so happy when he said ants had already came in the Vivarium, also is no one gonna talk about him literally chucking the isopods in 😭
Colony insects are so interesting; the way that their morphologies can vary so widely depending on their role even though they all have almost identical DNA. It’s just wild
Having gotten to see your channel grow up to this point from the last 5-6 years has been incredible, I am 26 years older than my youngest brother and we love to share in your excitement for nature and ANTS. Your channel has brought us closer and given us new ways to connect. Stoked to see how this project grows with time.

Maybe male ants leave undefine gamets that keep deviding inside the queen .and some species can become ovums and become genetically distinct from the Queen

I was wandering through KZhead, and now this nice Canadian man has me excited about bugs in a glass box.
Oh my those iridescent roaches! I have a bit of roach phobia…a huge one got in my hair and came apart when I was a child. But those shiny ones could definitely crawl in my hand. What an extraordinary exhibit! It’s wonderful to see creatures behaving naturally in a closed environment.
such nice vocabulary
I love the way you're able to give us a narrative from the ants behaviour. To think there's a hidden insect world all around us with stories like this playing out all the time is pretty mind blowing.
remember watching you years and years ago cool to see u havent changed much good work man
Just now tuning in, I am hooked! This is a cinematographic masterpiece in every way and so fascinating! I hope you learn an abundance on this journey, and I’ll be following along and catching up!
For insectivorous aquatic "cleanup" crew I would suggest some species of diving beetle. They flock to the dead bodies and are quite active. I haven't done anything remotely close to this scale but some years ago, I did a shoreline ecosystem and the diving beetles were incredibly efficient.
You sir have deserved this subscription. Got last week's video pop up in my recommendation and I'm glad it did. The quality and effort in these videos make it one of the highest quality videos I've seen and your narration is just perfect both for the Pantdora but also for showing your personality So when I found out these are a weekly series, subscribing was a no brainer Kudos to you

who is apex predator
This is the most interesting, yet nerdiest thing ever and I love it.
Archerfish would be fun to have in your vivarium. They may help eat the dead critters in the water and help with the over abundance of critters that are alive.
I think the water area is too small for a group of archerfish
I am honestly concerned that the number of ant colonies will cause an imbalance in the ecosystem by killing a lot of wildlife at a rate faster than they can replenish. The fire ants are one of the biggest concerning factors, but you didn’t show them this episode. Are they still around?
Fire ants weren't seen while shooting this episode. I'm still hoping there was no queen introduced (just workers) and they are dying out now. I know it may look like the ants are dominating and totally filling all areas of the tank due to the tight closeup shots, if you look carefully at the wider shots that show the true scale of the tank, you'll see that the ants are only minor players in the vivarium. It still lacks the ant biodiversity of a cloud rainforest. I remember being in Mt. Banahaw shooting the Blue Ant episode in awe at how many ants and nests were crammed into any given smallish space.
i think the ants will contest each other and it will stifle their masses hopefully
I think when biosphere 2 was run, Paratrechina longicornus ended up killing many of the other animals and dominating
@@AntsCanada I would try to get the gecko out and don't add another one in, it's basically a torture chamber for the poor gecko and has no hopes to survive.
I guarantee if they do get out of control they are at most gonna stifle their own food resources and cull themselves down to a reasonable population.
I've watched you since 6 years ago I believe. You've grown so much ever since, so proud of you! ❤

Welcome back!
@@AntsCanadaThe severe amount of ants is most likely what killed the gecko, all the bites it probably endured most likely eventually overhwlemed it and killed it.

I want to sincerely thank you for the arachnophobia warnings because I thought this was so cool and I’m watching it before I go to bed and I wouldn’t have been able to do it if I had to see a bunch of spiders. So thanks, and this is awesome.
You know you made it when you actually have KZhead themselves commenting on your video ! ⭐️
You could add catfish like pterygoplichthys for the pond area which eats up the dead animals. Diving beetles might also do the trick .Consider adding more escape routes for the pond so that it's not a death trap anymore.Great work on the vivarium. Consider adding some scavenger lobsters or crabs.
Don't add crawfish.😢
Catfish are way too big for that tiny pond area. Don't be ridiculous.
@kyokoyumi there is some species less than an inch so its fine
Its crazy how far this channel has come, I remember your videos being filmed in your small ant room and your announcement of building a entire house dedicated to your craft. Thanks for your hard work! Here's to another year of Ants Canada! It's ant love forever.🎉

I RARELY leave comments, but I couldn’t resist this time. You have created an amazing and beautiful ecosystem for your animals. It shows that you really care for them. Not like these people who have a hundred different snakes in empty plastic totes slid into drawers like a collection of socks; only to be pulled out when the latest morph is to be photographed then slid back into its empty plastic drawer. You have created something really special.

I'm sure they would of liked to end up like that gecko in an all natural ecosystem. Thing is, with certain animals, they don't really care as long as it's a dark tight hole that they feel safe in.
The ecosystem look so pretty and majestic and overall beautiful!
It does but sadly Ants are going to ruin it. I just don’t see how anything survives for long.

God, i remember when you started with a small starter set of ants and slowly build them out, i never expected such a huge vivarium to come from you when i started watching you. but it looks amazing.
Everything about this video is admirably
Even him sacrificing the gecko to the ants?
❤❤❤ I just realized I have been following you for about 12 years now!! I am a 4H leader and I love sharing your vids with the kids in my group. They all have their favorite ant colonies. What great content you have to be shared in classrooms. I have to say that your channel deserves the highest of respect and award for best all-around content. Top to bottom, beginning to end you have created a great learning and adventure space for people of all ages. Discovery Channel couldn’t have done it better than you have. I am so proud of the work you do. The level of commitment to your passion is staggering! Anyways, keep it up my friend and thank you from this 57 year old woman/tattoo artist/biker/barrel racer/4H leader. ❤
