Brilliant little intro, just the right amount of info to let me get started. I’m going to build something close to my gutter run-off, and will hopefully achieve some mosquito control as well. Thank you.
Dendrobates tinctorius azureus 👀 housing reptile with darts is completely different to housing darts together. I have seen people housing different darts from different genus together successfully so they cannot hybridised but housing two different species from the same genus is irresponsible and you are infact a helmet.
Covering the pond to protect the tadpoles from birds and feeding them are not necessary. Deep water and dense vegetation should be sufficient to protect the tadpoles from predators, as they are better camouflaged than goldfish. Covering the pond blocks out the sunlight that the plants should receive. Feeding them is acceptable, but only in moderation or the pond will become polluted with waste. Algae and pond plants are sufficient to sustain them.
as I've discovered newts in my garden I've watched a lot of videos for ideas but this one has helped the most well done the best video ive seen on he subject
Only person on whole youtube who 1: talks about diy mist/moist/sprinkler with nozzles and a pump and 2!: about timer that can count per seconds, not per minutes.
hi, thanks for sharing! I tried it and managed to stick my moss to hygrolon cloth, but then a whole lot of fungy appeared. how did you manage to keep it out? cause my hygrolon lies in open air on a plastic surface with curvings and is still eaten by fungy.
I found a frog in my garden living in a large unused plant pot filled with rain water. I went back to today to check it and it’s not there anymore. Has it moved because I scared it off?
Do I need the more expensive pump for 8 or more nozzle? I did some fluid dynamic calculation and math checks out for the smaller pump but I was wondering why you chose the bigger pump for the advanced system?
Mosquitofish and goldfish eat mosquito larvae. If the pond surface is large enough, dragonflies and damselflies will lay eggs on anything floating on the water surface. They hatch into larvae called nymphs which feed on the mosquito larvae and the adults eat airborne mosquitoes. It’s a win win!

holding up well, albeit I did need to repair some minor rips due to my labrador jumping in the pond but check out the updates and "how to upgrade your pond" for tips
Don’t use buttermilk, it’s a myth! Moss do not have ROOTS!! It won’t absorb anything from its substrate and in all reality you’re doing more harm than good when using buttermilk
Are they still doing good? Have myself since a few month's a palludarium of about h×w×d: 80×70×50 cm and at this moment 4 Ranitomeya Fantastica and 2 Ranitomeya Sirensis Divisoria. Everyday counting if they are still there and healthy 🙂 Best regards from the Netherlands
Hi mate, no it turns out this type of setup is far too large for these tiny frogs, they simply dissapeared. I would recommend keeping them in a 12x18 inch tall terrarium and keeping the setup as basic as possible so you can monitor them...
There's a lot of these things in my dart frog vivarium. I came across this video trying to find out what they were. They look identical to this worm. I had no idea these things were hunting fruit flies! Crazy stuff! I think they're flatworms in the geoplanidae family. Was hoping I could culture them as fish food but from what I've read it's possible that they're toxic. At least they don't seem to bother the frogs at all
Sorry, this isn’t going to work without any nodes attached to the leaves. Where is new growth supposed to sprout from? This can only rot, there’s absolutely no way to achieve a new plant like this, sorry…
Hi, I have wanted this species for a long time, but due to space I’ve put it off, but a trio (2 males and a female) have been dumped on me! I’ve witnessed all 3 calling, and assumed it was just the males that called, so I went back to the original source of them, and the shop said both sexes call, just different types of call? I was wondering what your opinion was?
This is the solution I have been looking for for months!!!! I don't know why this video doesn't have a million views, or why this method isn't well known, but thank you so much!
Yeah thanks, I did have my suspicions with the beetles and their shell. I was considering feeding these to my very tiny salamanders! Glad to find this video and sad to hear your frogs passing due to impaction. Looks like Ill be sticking with ffs!
Brilliant video ! No annoying 'muzak' & straight to the point. I've subscribed ! A QUESTION : I have a pond in my garden, it produces lots of lovely postage sized toads each Spring. I also have a stream , it's fast flowing, so I can't put Minnows & Sticklebacks in it to attract the Kingfisher that we occasionally see. Does anyone know if Kingfishers will visit a pond of about the same size as the one in the video, if I stocked it with Minnows & Sticklebacks & sited it near the stream ?
Wouldn't growing it outside before putting it in a terrarium, vivarium or paludarium, or anything similar, be bad? Because leaving it outside, you could have harmful microscopic fauna like sub terrannean parasites, mites etc, move into the soil and moss, you're getting eventually transferred into your indoor setup, which could mean your pets catch these microscopic nasties? Or is that looking way too into it? There's a million ways around this, but yeah, just curious
Hi Matty, I think you have a point especially in tropical environments. I live in England and our biodiversity in respect of insects, funghi, bacteria etc is very low due to the cold temperature so not an issue here, but very well could be elsewhere.
@@DIYHerps oh very good point invertebrates and microorganisms alike are essentially cold blooded. I come from tropical north Queensland. There are thankfully ways to circumvent this issue. I do appreciate the video, and if I come up with a solution, I'll update the comment. Thankyou for the video though, must have knowledge for the hobby.
