You are so smart. I dont even know how you could get started on setting up a self susstaining tank like that... Scraps either really likes you he acts like he wants to hang out lol
I'm posting this here, in case that you wouldn't check the other vids for comments. I wish to get a Drosera Graminifolia and I wanted some sort of animal in the tank. Would the animal be eaten by the Drosera, or would it not be attracted. Also, is an Eastern Newt a good choice? Now, to be on topic....I love your aquarium! It's so realistic. Plus, Scrapps is awesome.
Not much will be eaten by the Drosera. Only flying animals are usually trapped. A newt would easily slip from the tendrils and glue. I would be more concerned the newt would be walking over the plant, covering it in dirt. Put the Sundew in a place it won't be in contact with the newt - for the plant's protection. If you used a Nepenthes, on the other hand, buy extra newts!! :D
Hey vimvigernvi, thanks for noticing. It is an ecosystem with planktonic organisms and plants cleaning the water. There is no filter system in this tank and it has been like this for over 15 years or more! I believe that's mostly what makes this fish feel so at home - he can smell the muddy bottom and other organic components of a natural world. Instead of fretting within a sterile environment, he can concentrate on me!! :D
Is that Scrapps?

Wait a second, where would I put the Sundew so it wouldn't be in reach of the Salamander(I decided I wanted a salamander if possible)?

Haha. I know, he won't let you spend too much time loitering around his 'hood! XD
It's strange how he's clearing the brush. Prolly making a bit more space to swim... only thing is, is that Amazon Swordplant is the Big Mama!! :O
