    Cool, I want to talk to you about some other ideas for plants for both enclosures and some other things.

    Goldfish are aggressive. When I get mosquito fish they will be coming out because they are munching on whatever they can. Not worth the risk

    Yeah, Goldie's don't make the best tank mates where live plants are involved. Remember, they are carp, which are vegetarians. If you want to have nice aquatic plants, goldfish are a no no.

    These are evasive, I never put them in my setup, they hatched from eggs on the roots of the hyacinths. They are coming out when the tank gets changed

    The insects native to this tank have been very active now that the temps are in the 60-70's range. I saw tons of Wrigglers and Earthworms. The Woodlice are also active. I have seen a lot of positives from everything in the tank with cooler temps.

    December 15th will be the first day in changing this enclosure. As December marks 6 months, it is also a welcomed challenge now that there is no going and buying new or going in the woods to find something. This will be the first winter the 75 Gallon will face. 17 days until the remodel.

    Just 2 days until the update. My hallway is going to be a mess for a week haha. I am looking forward to this, I am really hoping everything will go as expected. I found out I have more Myrtle to add. So I might not need to get more in the spring. Some plants will be missing and the mosquito fish will be as well, but the plants animals and insects will be in. Looking to breakdown the tank on YouTube possibly.

    Default 75 Gallon Vivarium build

    The update is finished. I am surprised as to what I found. There was some weird type of big in the wooden hide. They are gone now. From what I saw one slug is left, he will be eliminated. I put a wild wood cricket in my Vivarium a while back and it seems that it mated with a cb cricket to create offspring. There were 4, 2 survived. Tons of Woodlice, probably in around 200, I found 6-7 worms and 5 SuperWorm offspring. All the evasive fish are alive and the plants are all in the tank now. More misters are in and the waterfall works and the leopard frog loves it. I am excited for spring. More animals and plants.

    Today is Spots birthday! He has made it a whole year with me. I am so very happy that I chose Northern Leopard Frogs to be in this "experiment", although he is the only frog (until spring) I can say that observing him has been a privilege. I love his call that he makes, even though it has been a challenge keeping a semi aquatic frog with terrestrial toads, it is worth it. I cannot get a picture because he is hiding but, when he comes out I will. I couldn't think of a better birthday present than giving him a flowing stream.

    It doesn't look like what it will when fully planted. It stinks the plants all died but the Myrtle just before the winter. I never should have done that drought. However, I will be buying those plants and taking care of them. I am excited for this spring, very big changes! The plants, the animals, and more. I am adjusting the waterfall also and when that is finished, it will look great

    I have some great news. I will be getting a 150 Gallon late this summer and these guys will be going in it. The 75 Gallon PA Woods Vivarium is going to become the 150 Gallon PA Woods Vivarium. I have decided I will not be getting Mosquito fish to put in it and the stream will not be in the 150 Gallon I am going back to the original look. I will upgrade the Whites Tree Frogs enclosure to the 75 Gallon and they will get the stream flowing as well as a mister. Lots of big updates to come, I look forward to a bigger Woods Enclosure and a bigger Tropical enclosure.

    Some sad news and some updates. So I will be getting a 125 gallon tank for the animals, plants, and insects of the 75 Gallon Vivarium. Sadly Toto passed and it was a sad story. The bright side is the next female American Toad and Northern Leopard Frog will have things and tests these guys did not. As I am sad and not really interested now, I can say that yes I will be restocking and the 125 Gallon PA Woods Vivarium will happen. American Toads and Northern Leopard Frogs will be the Amphibs of choice. I'm going back to the original look with no waterfall. I feel it was interesting but, the leopard frog actually seemed to want more land. I will have a small piece of liner that will hopefully act as a puddle which will feel more natural and could mean mating. The show goes on.
