An aquatic ecosystem fit for three little kings... but along the way this fish tank evolved into much more and we got to watch shrimp, snails, microfauna, crabs, and various fish interact with their environment as the tank evolved over one year. guest appearance from ‪@TheDrPlants‬

a true low maintenance, no Co2, no fertilizer tank for the people. I'd love to make more

  • You adding additional creatures to eat the black worms felt like that folk story where they got spiders to eat fleas, snakes to eat the spiders, ferrets to eat the snakes, and so on and so forth.

    Why is the fish love scene the most replayed one?..are you guys okay?
  • I found one of these poor frogs in a tiny tank just like this at a Walgreens back in the year 2000. I immediately removed him from the tiny tank and put him in a big tank. He became a happy frog with a nice life, especially after he got some snail buddies in there to keep him company, and later, a neon tetra fish as well. His name was Froggy, he lived until he was 12 years old. After he died, I buried him in his own special painted frog coffin, under a tree, in Golden Gate Park near a pond. He was a great frog.

    UPDATE: pond 2.0 is in the works. If you’re looking to get African dwarf frogs please 🙏 buy them from breeders or true fish stores. This was a rare opportunity to buy a creature in a terrible “forever home” and document a before and after. The store has since stopped selling them. And Lebron actually came from a massive fish store in much better care

    The “huh?” from the crab each time cracks me up. 😂

    For a second I forgot I was watching a youtube video and not a documentary, the amount of effort and passion put in these videos is incredibly impressive!

    This unlocked a memory, my 4th grade teacher had one of these as a class pet. We were allowed to feed them sometimes but you were picked randomly. I just remember them being the cutest things ever and my teacher being incredibly protective of them

    There are professional nature documentaries with millions of dollars budgets that are not half as compelling as this. Incredible work I hope Helen, Keller, and LeBron enjoy their home

    "Getting views on YouTube isn´t worth bad animal care" WORD! Sadly so many people on Social Media need to be taught this. Thank you for this extra careful approach to anything.

    I've owned a clam as a kid from a fishing trip with family friends, I had been walking around the lake since I didn't want to fish. I ended up seeing something near the shoreline, I thought it was a rock but after my mom got it out of the water. It was a clam, my mom ended up letting me keep it. The clam ended up living in a 20-30 gallon tank all by itself and followed my mom whenever she was. If she was on the right side so was it and same for the left, it was werid to me as a kid since I never saw it move. Well it ended up passing sometime later, i believe from old age ans my mom decided to extract the pearl from inside of it. It ended up being a light pieple nearly white pearl, super beautiful.

    The "HUH" sound effects on the oblivious crab is the icing on the cake
