🌿 VAMPIRE CRAB PALUDARIUM UPDATE | TERRAQUAMAN

Ciao ragazzi !
Heres an update on the vampire crab paludarium almost one year later.

I put most of my small floating plant trimmings right into my house plant pots. When I repot a plant I leave extra room for this kind of thing. The bigger stuff goes into the garden and some of it feeds my invertebrate cultures. I feel you. I cannot fathom to just throw it away.

This tank is gorgeous! Keep up the amazing craftsmanship and creativity with your animals!

Beautiful stuff Brotha love it vampire 🧛‍♀️ crabs are so cool 😎

Hm, as far as trimmings go, you could make an entire tank dedicated to plants and keep growing extras. Or perhaps start an isopod culture (or even a compost?) and give them all the excess plant bits to eat. Idk how possible either of those are for you but just some ideas!

[ForestOfEmeralds]

I'm absolutely mesmerized by your tanks! As for what to do with excess trimmings, I usually feed them to my P. clarkii crayfish if I don't plan to reuse them. With plants like red root floater or salvynia I would just donate that to the pet store I work at. I can't stand to throw away trimmings either. Stem plants just get their trimmings returned to them.

You could always sell the trimmings or give them to your LFS.

I throw away like 1kg of salvinia every 2, 3 weeks, love how it keeps nitrites under control, I would love to compost it, but not in an apartment...

[deo_log]

That's so cool! I love your videos <3

[happyface]

what would be your recommendations for plants around the tank? I need ideas for both land and water and your tank looks awesome hahaha

[thedsplatform]

what i like to do is have a container or small aquarium, and just shove all the excess trimmings in their, with minimal soil, that way i have plants at the ready, always

[michaelcorselli]

Gissar på att du bor i Malmö. Vill du sälja några krabbor till en granne isåfall? 😁

[clairvoyant_details]

[elmox]

Do you have problems with fogged windows? We would like to use an aquarium for vampire crabs around. 1/3 water and 2/3 land

[justtori]

compost the excess plants to create food for isopods

[Dipto]

Doesn't your gust get frightened when they see the sentipide?

[johnhoule]

you should sell your plants as it will help pay for costs towards supporting you hobby
