AHHH been missing you guys' comments!!! Will try to answer them all. And as always, I will ALWAYS post again. Just takes some time so remain subscribed if you want to see more
How cow Hes alive!!!! I love the updates!!
yeah!!!!!! hes back
Will do, I’ve been watching this series since Middle School and now I’m about to graduate high school.
Always happy to see an update from you.🖤🇨🇦
When there are no good ant videos coming out from anyone else, I go back to your old vivarium updates and pretend to be shocked 😂
HE RETURNSSSSS
THANKS FOR WATCHINGGGGGG
Been waiting for this update sooo long !! Well done !!
Sorry for the wait xD
I am glad you are back after so long. I love how much care you put into your videos
Thank you so much for the nice words
HES BACK!!!!
:D welcome back!!
Finally
greetings from Turkey
Greetings! Thank you for watching
Never have i ever thought of your return
Hope you will for the next one! :D
The next one gonna take a year💀
I knew he would, just not today 😅
I still can’t believe you successfully managed to create an independent small chunk of Mother Nature in a glass box in your house! It’s truly incredible what you managed to do. It’s literally the wilderness in a tank and the animals living in there have no idea they’re even in captivity. That is there home and I truly believe they think they’re in the wild and living life naturally without you interfering hardly ever.
Thank you for the nice comment!! And yes it is awesome I love it so much :D
@@nordicants6232 No problem man it truly is amazing!
But he designed the entire ecosystem…..
@@JanSobieskiIII Yes he designed it, but never really had to interfere again. That’s impressive!
This dude doesn’t even have to go outside. He brought outside indoors!
Hahaha that was he plan :D
That spider a 7:30 might be a diving bell spider which traps an air bubble using hairs on its abdomen so it can live underwater and build webs underwater as well. Although it is hard to identify and a few other spiders are known for entering water (or it could just be a spider that fell in)
Ohhh you are an OG subscriber man! Thanks for watching. Will see what spider it is but quite hard to ID ngl :D
@@nordicants6232 try searching fishing spiders looks a lot like images of them when they are underwater
Man that was a hell of a Pond update. It looks so healthy i can't believe you aren't endlessly throwing food in there to keep those numbers up and it's happening all on it's own. Still after 5 years of watching you, this is still the only channel that has something like this. Unique one of a kind Vivarium anywhere else in the world.
Now my question to you nord bro is. In the Future would you ever go for a large tank? The bigger it is the most life it can sustain. So im looking forward to whatever genius ideas you come with next!
Nord bro will answer this superkind comment! In the future I plan to potentially go bigger ;D but I am for sure doing other biomes as well in the coming years
You have probably accomplished something almost no one has done before. Yes, there are thousands of vivariums, but one thats this big, self sustaining, and diverse... I'll definitely gonna make one in the future, i know there is no way i can stop myself 😅
Cant wait for you to make it!!
@@nordicants6232 hey! I was just wondering if you could please make an updated, longer version of nuptial flight schedule. It was by far the most helpful thing for collecting queens, and i would be very happy if you made an another :)
Nordic Ants you are awesome!
This brings so much Joy and Nostalgia
he lives!
*breathes*
This is really goddamn impressive. I mean I don't think even Serpa Design has pulled off such a life-like habitat within a terrarium.
Wow thats a compliment!! Thank you so much for watching :D
@@nordicants6232 I'd love to see you build a habitat like this but with lizards like Chinese Water Dragons or Basilisks.
this is bloody amazing.
Bloody nice you are here! :D
I love this guys videos so much care are put into them( also first one babyyy)
Thank you!!
If you’re feeling bold you could add a large predator to the pond like a crayfish, but it might compete with your salamanders so I would understand if you chose not to do that and just keep it safe. The salamander larvae already make good predators for the waterways, but when they get older you might need something to maintain that balance.
That would kill lots of larger animals unfortunately! But great idea for future vivarium :D
It has been a while this is going to be great!
Hope you like it :D
I’m very glad you decided to add filter feeders to your aquatic section of the vivarium! You could even add some oysters or freshwater clams to help clean up the waters even more if you wanted.
Yes thats a cool idea! I hope they would make it though… maybe you are right
@@nordicants6232 It’s up to you man. Not even sure how they would fair in captivity, but your vivarium looks so natural I think they would make it. Overall very healthy echo system and by adding those aquatic plants you gave the shrimp places to hide so they’re definitely gonna thrive and not be eaten by salamanders. Shrimp are AMAZING in aquatic setups and I think they’ll do most of the work with keeping the aquatic part of the vivarium clean as well as the snails and other creatures ect. So you definitely don’t have to add any mollusks if you don’t want.
@@huntercool2232 Most people say they die very easily even is extremely healthy tanks.
@@nordicants6232 bivalves like clams and mussels usually need very high flow so they aren't very likely to survive. However daphnia would be a good filter feeding organism provided the other animals don't eat them all.
@@cryptocorynes1253 @HunterCool22 Thank you guys all for the info!! Will see what I do
I found your channel LAST NIGHT and I was obsessed. Saw that you hadn’t uploaded in a year and figured I would sub just in case you ever upload again. 😂 and here we are
Well done sir ;)
I didn't think I would see this video in my lifetime this is amazing
Will always upload again! Never worry :D
@@nordicants6232 thank God 😁
When the world needed him the most, he returned
Ahahahah hasta la vista baby!!
Glad to see you back.
Thank you sir
Ah, you've stopped by once again to grace us with this. Thanks for that, it's always a treat.
I am graced by your presence sir!!
Welcome back! I missed seeing your videos!
Thank you! and thanks for watching!!!
been thinking about new hobbies bc i’ve been really bored and depressed recently, watching these videos gives me hope that i can find happiness in doing something silly and fun that i like
By adding the shrimp if you ever have another death in your pond like the scorpion the shrimp will eat it up and help clean the waters so nothing is just sitting dead down there.
I got shrimps!! Look at the end :D
@@nordicants6232 Yessir I know that’s why I was pointing it out.
Your method of creatig more and more complex foodwebs making these projects so vivid. I really like so much aspects and forms of life and their interactions in these conditions. Great work man!
it looks phenomenal, you' ve become our inspiration, support from Poland💪🇵🇱
Thank you so much!!! :D support from Sweden to you
It's so good to see you back!! I watched you when you were on break. And I was starving for more vivarium content
i hope i feed you guys with enough content!! good to see you :D
Wow, what a diversity. And cool to see the crazy aquatic part evolve! As always, I enjoy the way you capture the small parts of our nature. Even the tiniest insect becomes fascinating.
Tack mannen!! Ses snart ;D
I would also recommend getting some aquatic snails for the water portion of the vivarium to help with algae control.
The wait was great, but it was worth it
Hahahah thank you so much for the patience ;)
Babe wake up Nordic ants is back
xD!
I went from watching the first update on this to the last and you went from having a German accent to a British accent. Your practice was well noticed
Hehe I cheated by starting to study in the uk ;) amazing u noticed!
I have never been more excited to see a new video
Awh thank you :D!!
Oh how we've missed you! I'm so very happy to hear your voice again! ☺️ There are always such interesting happenings in the vivarium!
Missed you guys too!!!
so excited this dropped, been following the project since day 1
Amazing!! welcome back my friend ;)
So it seems you do have scorpions in there! Very cool. The spider was definitely just chilling, scorpions and spiders can survive 24+ hours underwater just fine.
Thats very cool, I had no idea! How come they survive in water so long? Especially the scorpions… is it an arthropod thing
@@nordicants6232 Not common in arthropods, but it has been noted in a couple. Scorpions, from what I've read, can survive a minimum of 48hrs, including desert species and whatnot. I have, however, seen species such as members of the genus Heterometrus (Asian Forest Scorpions) survive much longer, I've seen reports of surviving ~6 days of flooding during monsoon seasons in Asia. They're not great swimmers, but they can wait out any flooding! Spiders, otherwise, vary a lot. Some can survive short periods ~30m to avoid predators by creating a small air bubble around their modified lungs, while others can survive multiple days ~36hrs underwater. There's even a species that lives underwater (Argyroneta aquatica)!
The part where the newts eat from the ground is probably that they are eating worms in the ground
Ohhhh could be the case
THE LEGEND IS BACK!!!!!
Ahahhaha good to see you!! :D
18 seconds ago??? Damn I’m early lol
Glad to see you back man
Very early!!! Well done
Finally returned
Dundundun!
Glad to see you're back! I can't wait until you upload again next year 😂😂
Hahahaha me too xD!
@@nordicants6232 hahaha... Please donttt!!! A month or a few
I'm so happy you're back!
Happy you are here :D
THE KING RETURNS
Thank you for watching :D
After 15 years in the Dark
1 year* ;)
Glad you are back been waiting for an actual year it’s fine tough
Will see if I can post more later ;D
Really missed this.
Mised you guys!
Bro the p*nis mushroom/worm/slow worm sequence was such perfect serendipity I love it
THE KING RETURNS!
Awhhh thank you for the support
as soon as I saw the update I watched it I'm so happy to see that it is still going strong
Thank you for popping by :D see you for the next one ;)
Thanks to you I finally discovered the species of my ants: Camponotus Lignipedrus!
Congratulations:D
FINALLY i have been awaiting this update
Thank you for watching :D
I plan on building a paludarium ecosystem in a year or so, and yours is one of the best models I’ve seen. There are so many great notes and tips that I’ve collected from your videos.
Thank you!
Thank you so much man!!! :D
Its back ,the ecosystem
Its bakkkk! :D
I doubt you will read this comment, but if you do a perfect plant for this vivarium would be glechoma hederacea aka Creeping Charlie or Cats Foot. It stays between 2 to 4 inches on average but can reach a maximum height of ten inches tall. The interesting thing about it is that it has small purple flowers that would be a useful sugar source to many small insects in the vivarium, and it will bring the biodiversity up in the tank. If it gets roudy before the ecosystem can balance itself out again, just trim the runners 9ff and dispose of the separated stem, because if left in the soil it will readily root in less than a week when exposed to moisture or pressure. For a variety with more appealing foliage choose glechoma hederacea variegata, a cultivar with white marbled leaves. If introduced cautiously and properly, it would make the vivarium a whole new world in no time. Even though everywhere this plant gets mentioned, people are explaining how to eradicate it from their boring grass lawns but they neglect to mention it's use as a pothead and medicinal plant for centuries. It will make the vivarium better... BTW I subscribed so that I can see the fate of this magical glass box
The underwater spider may be a diving bell and those trap air around their body’s to breath
Ohhh yes I was thinking this but found nothing looking like it!! Might just be a dead one lol
Nice!!!
!!!
I subscribed and didn't think you'd upload again as it been 1 year from the last video but in one of your videos you said that no matter how much times it takes you're gonna update on the vivarium so i had hopes and finally another video!
Will always upload again!! You should never worry :D
Love your stuff buddy. Please don't stop uploading. It's so comforting and it's something I can't do myself.
Never thought he’d come back but heck these videos take time ❤love you man watched your vivarium video 3 times. And maybe for your next project a full on part of a river with be cool with Lots of waterbugs and fish and stuff
Thank you soso much for this comment! Lots of love and hope to see you for the next update :D
nice
noice
i am sooooo happy to you back
So happy you are watching:D
I love Vivariums and Mini ecosystems
I love u guys!!
@@nordicants6232 thanks
I am going to do this for invertebrates and amphibians in a nova scotia native vivarium. I may not be able to now, but I WILL. This is pure art. Van gogh ain't got smack.
Ahahahahhahah!! Make sure to post and let me know when you do. Would love to see it :D
No joke found your channel yesterday
What a timing ;)
I've been waiting so much for this video
Hope its worth it :D
I check your page like once every couple of months hoping to see another video out. I absolutely love your videos. I've been doing stuff like this since I was a kid. Just never close to the size tanks you have
Thank you soso much for checking and hope that the wait is not too long and worth it
@@nordicants6232 the wait makes sense. And your content is great so I'd like to think it is
You inspired me to build my own eco system rank 55 gallon
That makes me incredibly happy to hear!! what do you have in it? :D
@@nordicants6232 so far | have 1 anole 6 fresh
water crabs 3 millipedes ants isopods of
two types earth worms 1 scorpion
Snails trying to let them grow in numbers
before I add anything else that might wipe
out everything
My tank is like a forest feel
3/4th of tank
land and I also have part water like a pond
Something like this with snakes would be so epic.
Consider adding Soromon Plecos to the aquatic section. They are quite small and hardy and would prosper here.
Ohhh will see if I can find some northern European ones, possible that it could be difficult!
That's some type of diving spider
I hope it is :D
you are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oui!!!!!!
Im loving this so much!
Edit: Missed ya, thanks for the vid!
Thank you lots for the support
The video we all have been waiting for
Been waiting for u guys to show up! Missed ya
Nordic Ants is Santa Claus. He shows up once a year and brings a gift to make you happy 😁
Ho ho ho hahahaa thank you so much
HE'S BACK
!!! :D
15:18 I have something very similar growing on some wood in a very humid greenhouse, i'm pretty sure it's mycelium since it smells like it, it grows underwater sometimes and sometimes it's brown and sometimes orange, maybe look into it.
Will do! Thank you for sharing :DD
I loved the footage of the glass lizard eating the worm. Really interesting and comedic.
Loved that clip too!! :D
THE LEGEND HAS RETURNED
U legend!!!
@@nordicants6232 them vivariums really show how much care is put in to their setup in order for them to thrive without almost any intervention. Great job
Felt immense joy when i saw you updated again. Easily my favourite channel i love the updates and can't wait to start my large vivarium also.
Thank you so much! And please share your vivarium to us when you make it :D
I'm grateful that you came back!!
Grateful you are watching :D
Hands down best vivarium channel on RUclips. Thank you so much for the videos! You show us what's possible in the hobbie.
7:31 It might be species called argyroneta aquatica, which is the only known spider that lives underwater, not too sure tho
It could also be raft spider since they sometimes dive in water
@@WikuuTheBlueDemon Oh yes I was thinking this! does not look like one though but possible it is some sort of raft spider actually :D thanks for the comment
The best vivarium content on RUclips, not seen an ecosystem as big or as diverse as this
one savage camponotus ant is capable of dismantling a yellow jaccket
Hes back!!
Nice to see the vivarium again
Nice to see you guys again :D
@@nordicants6232 :D
The sequel we needed
Hey dude it's Nacho! I'm glad to see you back! I absolutely love your channel and can never get enough of your videos. Good shit my dude! You sound different to how I remember and at times you sound very English! Have you been staying in England whilst you've been gone?
Amazing you noticed! Studying in the uk right now ;)
Nice seeing you again! Your an inspiration for me I love the vivarium with all variety of ants.
Thank you :D!!! Hope you make something like this in the future
Great to get an update. Same time next year^^
Yep! see you then ;)
Very cool as always :)
Thank you dinosoup ;D
I’m so exited your back!
Excited to be back with you guys :D
Yessssss! Finally! Love you my guy, missed the beautiful ecosystem! Starting up my own aquatic ecosystem (had a goldfish in it for 4 months before I moved him out and replaced him with 3 eastern mud minnows)!
i rlly love your vids man
A warm welcome back. Beautiful Video as usual 👌
Thank you :D
