- Vampire crabs have got to be one of the coolest creatures you can keep! In this video I’ll be making a Paludarium ecosystem for them that even has a flowing stream! Throughout the tutorial I’ll explain each step as I go so you can have a go at replacing something like this yourself. Enjoy the video!:)

I think you may have been ripped off. I just started the vid, but that crab you just showed didnt look like a vamp
There are 2 similar freshwater crabs, vampire crabs have bright colored yellow/orange color w/ their purple. There's another more common & similar but much duller crab called a Halloween crab, I think thats what you have based on the 1st shot! They are often mislabeled as vamps to increase their price $. The worst thing is that they need brackish water (or maybe salt can't remember) to breed so they are extreme lvl difficulty to breed in captivity unlike true vamps which readily breed in freshwater 😔
Thank you for this. I’m trying to convince my mom to let me start something similar and if I have all the stuff at the ready it would really help
Maybe some tiny raspboras In here
Plz make a vertical paludarium or terrarium
Excellent! How did you make that glass hinged door?
THANK YOU for showing the plant types! I hate when they don’t do that. “Just use what you want” I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO USE
i love that you explain your differences and always start with "the reason this is important..." rather than just saying "im using x instead of y"
Vampire crabs are great semi aquatic pets. They are from the rainforest , have lots of colors, and are just really cool to have in a tank planted setup. Awesome setup .
Your vampire crabs are gonna live the BEST lives a crab could ever!😇
I reckon they have a better life out of captivity, but in captivity it’s pretty damn good.
@@Borret actually. In captivity would be best (as long as conditions are ideal) because small creatures including crabs are often eaten and serve as prey animals, which is the reason why the lifespan will be much shorter than it would be in captivity. I'm sure those crabs would hate to live a life full of worrying about birds, other crabs, parasites, etc.
Yes
The first ever apex predators
Better than a Supermarket crab? Of course 🗿
Omg. I am a biologist who dive a lot in my live and spend a large amount in nature. ...do a lot of crafting....
really great art . I am more than impressed...
A biologist that doesn’t know how to spell okay bud 👌
Would love a video on how to propagate both terrestrial and aquatic moss! Having some difficulty getting them to grow...
I’ll definitely work on it:)

Moisture is key!
No
Wow, this is really amazing. This is near the top of the list of favorite builds that you've done. Let's be real, they're all my favorites
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it:)
ruclips.net/user/shorts6KzlRf0HiqY?feature=share
Me too😂
Thank you for giving me a hobby im interestwd in finally, i love animals and the idea of habitat building but i live with my mom who hates exotic animals so i cant, but this is something we are both happy with and your videos are helpling me escape my depression rn. Thank you so much
Hope you enjoy the video!:)
You don’t have to ask for liking a subscribe when you watch something like this you did a wonderful job. Very creative and inspire me to make my own. Great job absolutely loved it.
great video!
This stream construction is GENIUS! I've never seen it done quite this way. So well thought out and crafted. Amazing build, as always. Those are some happy crabbies.
ruclips.net/user/shorts6KzlRf0HiqY?feature=share
The area they can dig in is very small tho. When i kept vampire crabs i gave them a large land area to dig in and they loved it. So many tunnels goin deep underground
Yea, I had the same thought.
I’be been binge watching planted aquariums and ran up on your video. WOW!! I’ve never seen anything like it. Gorgeous!!
Gorgeous! I love these crabs! They have so much personality, and so much fun to watch!
Beautiful, I couldn't help but imagine how it would look with a fantasy scene within the ecosystem. Elves, dwarves, dragons oh my
Really like how you built the steam spillway. Ingenious!
this is like exactly what i wanted to build, but i didnt know how to make the water stream leakproof. thanks for the tutorial
Brother, your work is absolutely incredible. Im interested in building a no filter aquarium. Gotta be awesome when you realize you built a mostly self contained, successful ecosystem. Yours are the most beautiful, most natural looking tanks I've ever seen.
The vampire crabs looks STUNNING in that
Im only 14 but i love nature and i really want to make a terrarium myself. And because of you i know how to make one. And i want to say that in all your videos you make lovely stuff!!
Your video has inspired me so much! I was originally trying to figure out how to get a 3:1 ratio in a normal tank and it brought me to your video! I even purchased everything that you were using before this video. I'm so excited to create a cozy place for my future crab friends 🎉
You seem so skilled and passionate about making these terrariums. I love to watch your videos, they always bring me peace. And I also started my own little enclosed terrarium in a jar with the tips from you, and it is doing well! :)
Amazing job man. Your videos got me interested in terrariums which I now find amazingly entertaining and beautiful portraits of nature. Thank you
My 6-year-old believes this is so amazing and cool. Great job!
This tank is gorgeous. I look forward to the updates!
Amazing setup and the crabs look absolutely stunning! . Really like how you built the steam spillway. Ingenious!.
Love the crabs, I've never heard of them before. I cant wait for the update video 😊
first video ive seen on this channel,. excited to see an update!
I hope that door you made is super secure because vampire crabs are escape artists. Also their babies can fit through really small gaps
They will push that glass door open without much trouble.
The glass door has no sizeable gabs at all. It also is takes some pull to actually open so it will certainly not be pushed open by the crabs aha
@@TerrariumDesigns You'd be surprised 😉 I've had them climb the glass hook one leg over the rim of the tank then push the glass lid up with their bodies until they slip out underneath.
The smaller ones calm climb glass using small amounts of debris. The adults aren't able to do that but they are damn crafty! I would put a tab of tape on each side just in case 😁 Trust me!!
I’ll do it just in case, thanks for the heads up!
@@TerrariumDesigns No worries! They aren't smart! But they are cunning 🤣
The expanding foam trick to shape it is brilliant. I'm used to that stuff with koi ponds and I have nightmares of trying to get it off but being partially dry makes sense
Its like having a mini jungle anywhere you go you will always imagine, and always will love it. ❤
I just found your channel, subscribed and binge watched. Your work is so beautiful and peaceful! Thank you.
Absolutely Beautiful. Thanks for the post.
Great scape and "easy" to follow, not that I feel confident attempting something like this myself but seems good for the ones who dare.
Thank you!
Amazing ❤ i was only thinking about getting vampire crabs recently, so this video has been really informative on keeping them❤❤
Such a beautiful terrarium ! i absolutely love it 😍 also the crabs are so cool :D
Thank you!
This video was awesome, really love the stream terrariums but this one is even better especially with the crabs
Glad you like it & thanks for watching😃
Amazing build, i really enjoy your style throughout all of your builds. Keep up the good work.
Best micro-stream construction I've seen yet. Thank you!
Awesome build I'd love to see how you propagate and grow your moss I've always struggled!
Great 😃
15:21 One of the crabs has a smile on its back. Its really beautiful. Also your tank is inspirational. Great work ❤.
That’s cute!
@@TerrariumDesigns Thanks for your kind words ❤
This is unreal! ❤❤❤❤❤❤ I love this and am now going to watch all your videos! I made my first terrarium today. 😊
Amazing design sir. This is the first video of yours that I have seen. I've subscribe and will be watching more of your designs shortly.
amazing. love it for the vampire crabs
I NEED that moss video!
great video to learn from....since i am trying to start a red claw crab tank myself, many many great tips thank you
I liked the vampire crab addition.
You do amazing builds ❤🎉 I'm in my early 50s and don't have the patience to wait for grow outs 😂 I did a few aquascapes fish tanks and do the fish in cycling, correctly, and have had no losses. But I know I'd really have to wait if I did a terrarium because I'd definitely want it to be better for the terrestrial animals, or semi terrestrial... excellent and beautiful build as usual. It's very nice seeing younger people having the patience, passion and skill to build such beautiful systems. 🎉
A fitting home for such amazing creatures. I love vampire crabs and can’t wait to have a few of my own. The tips in this video were very helpful.
This is insanely awesome. Great work
Thank you!!
This was such a beautiful tank!
one of the best paludarium video I have ever seen
Moss Prorogation in Tupperware vid would be dope 🤙🏻
i would love to see a moss propagating/growing video!
Great!:)

Those crabs are so cool to watch, they look really happy with their new house 🏡
Love the content lad, you’ve inspired me to try and create a small terrarium myself!
Thank you! Really glad I could inspire you!
Omg this is gorgeous! 😍 I really love it. Subscribed right away and gonna look for a video for the moss
Beautiful, simple beautiful. Very similar as we can see here in Brasil. Greetings from São Paulo

I would appreciate if you would make a video of how to propogate your own moss❤
Will do!😃
Those crab are beautiful
Just bought your book and I don’t regret it one bit. When or If I kick off all credits go to my God and you
Just a fantastic video. You're an artist🦀 & a Professional. Perfection 🤙
that stream is genius!
lookin so sick
ABSOLUTELY STUNNING PALUDARIUM!!!! You have ROCKED everything we have seen you do!!! Thank you for sharing!!!! And YES!!! How to grow all types of moss, please!!!! We live in Arizona and collecting moss in the wild is well… Virtually impossible!!!!😂😂
Absolutely beautiful. I am going to try the vampire crabs, but I just cant see me even coming close to this. Awesome.
the foam strat u used is amazing 3:53
Awesome job looks amazing, about to look for updates. Cheers🍻
Cool video! First time seeing your channel, really enjoyed watching your different method and style of video making. Great job editing the video I know it took a lot of effort!
Such Cute Little Creatures 😍 You've Built Them An Awesome Home 🤯🦀
thank you for your work! it is a pleasure to watch
First time here ! I really like the video. Can't wait to see more :)
I'd would really appreciate a video on how to propagate moss.
Glad you enjoyed the video & I’ll definitely work on a video about moss propagation😃
Look so beautiful and stunning ❤
Wow, I kinda missed this video. Amazing scape as always! I recently almost got in love with lavarock. Very cute little mini cryptocoryne. The crabs are so funny 😁
Oh man, I wish I had a separate room for my glass tanks full of life too
I'd like to see a video on propagating moss in tubs like that :)
Love the video. I'm only getting into planted tanks and now its been opening up to so many other forms like paludariums! Easy subscribe :). Also if you don't mind suggestions, adding some nice crisp b roll before ending would be great. Wanted to see more those crabs.
Great to hear! & that’s a good suggestion:)
This is a great Paludarium!
Thanks!
Damn amazing work man! Honestly inspiring. I love the use of both foams and the lava rock is just the right base. Porous and deep earth nutrient. Good scaping and editing. The rock totally made sense later 😊 goung to check out the rest and see what your up too. Either way sub well earned my dude
10:47 also yes would love to see this cause now im itching to start. Ive had aquariums based on the river from my back yard for years as a kid and would love to get back to that part of my life. And an ecosystem like this would be perfect. Especially if it can go naturally filter based
I really love stuff like this is truly amazing
Pretty cool I want to get one going once I get on my feet and have my own g
Truly a beauty 😍 Great job!
Yes please do a video on moss propagation!
I think this is astonishing! My heart is beating faster...
