Trying to convince vampire crabs that having their picture taken is a good idea isn’t easy. Here are two pairs that we have. Males at the top and females at the bottom. Vampire crabs do very well in bioactive terrariums as long as you give them a small water section.

Absolutely obsessed with this little guy. Fresh shed and looking unreal. Definitely a dream species to work with.

Peperomia hispidula - Incredibly cool addition from the ! This thing is tiny but such amazing detail on the leaves. Had a fantastic time exploring the show and learning yesterday. The show is still on today if you are in Edmonton.

A very rare opportunity with the R reticulata sitting still while we open the tank door for a picture. These guys are tiny and fast! Absolutely gorgeous colouring though.

Prosthechea (Encyclia) radiata - An absolute favourite orchid for the windowsill. Blooms each year like clockwork and has an amazing tropical fragrance. The unusual upside down flowers are awesome as well. 🍃

Homoeomma chilensis - Finally its first little patch of red! This is 1.5 years of growth from a 1/16” sling. Now maybe the size of a nickel. The water dish is a single lego square.

Cleaning day shots of an adorable little dalmation crestie that hatched here a few months ago. Love seeing the spots developing as this one grows. 😎

Into happy plants today apparently. This is a Syngonium podophyllum ‘mini pixie’ growing in a patch of Christmas moss.

08/27/2024

We love how terrariums evolve over time providing a ton of interest. Some really neat moss growth happening here among the Lepanthes leaves.

Just one of the cresties hanging out. Love this guys contrast.

Microgramma are quickly becoming a favourite of ours. This variety is Microgramma vaccinifolia and has stunning small leaves and a fuzzy branching rhizome.

08/07/2024

NEW PRODUCT - Leaf Litter Tannin Blend is a 50/50 mix of our two favourites varieties for tadpole tea and for aquariums. Indian almond is an extremely popular variety for blackwater aquariums which produces great tannins. Jack fruit is a less common variety known for its anti fungal properties.

Calgary - Stop by and say hi on Aug 17 & 18 at the .alberta event. We are on a mission to make bioactive and naturalistic enclosures easier and will be bringing a variety of top quality supplies. We love connecting with other hobbyists and are excited to talk about your terrarium projects, plants, and animals!

R reticulata hunting for food in the leaf litter. These guys are stunning but so tiny and do not sit still for pictures often.

07/30/2024

Microgramma ciliata - One of our favourite mini ferns. This is a beautiful species with tiny leaves that spreads along your background or along branches from a delicate fuzzy rhizome which creates very interesting detail. This is a surprisingly easy species to establish and should be on everyone’s list.

A couple months of growth on the dual 12x12x18 setup. Moss is starting to really take off and the bromeliads are throwing pups. Excited for the broms to split and provide more background coverage. Slow and steady with lots of room for growth. 🍃 #bioactivecanada #dartfrogscanada #albertareptiles #ontarioreptiles #yegplants #yegterrariums #yycplants #yyzplants #terrariumdesign #frogdirtcanada

A quick tour of day two progress. Foam has been carved and covered with tree fern fiber. Tree fern typically does a great job supporting moss growth and we are excited to see how it does here. #bioactivecanada #naturalisticvivarium #terrariumdesign #yegterrariums #albertareptiles #ontarioreptiles #dartfrogscanada #crestedgeckocanada #frogdirtcanada

Here is how today’s fun project went. It is only about 6” tall and was planted with a mini orchid, microgramma fern, marcgravia, and moss. It will be awesome to watch this grow in. 🍃 #yegplantpeople #yegterrariums #yycplants #terrariumdesign #livingart #microgramma #miniorchidea #frogdirtcanada

A goal of ours is to make vivarium and terrarium keeping simple and accessible for everyone. As part of that we are testing out a budget friendly light, the Hygger 978. This light is readily available and we are not affiliated. Stay tuned for updates on plant growth with this light. #vivarium #terrarium #terrariumplants #dartfrogcanada #bioactivecanada #terrariumlighting #plantedtank #plantscanada #plantscanada🇨🇦 #frogdirtcanada #hygger

One method to fruit fly proof the doors of an ExoTerra. - We apply a thin bead of silicone along the door edges and then cutting the bead down the center with a razor after it cures. This provides an extremely tight seal. #bioactivecanada #dartfrogcanada #livingart #vivarium #terrarium #flightlessfruitflies #insectproof #frogdirtcanada

Is leaf litter ASMR a thing? 😂 Oddly satisfying to watch. #vivarium #vivariums #terrarium #asmr #leaflitter #bioactivecanada #bioactive #isopod #springtails #frogdirtcanada #dartfrogcanada #crestedgeckocanada

A quick overview of how we typically fruit fly proof the front vents on our Exo Terra enclosures. A few ways to accomplish this but gluing in screen has worked for us. #vivarium #terrarium #dartfrogcanada #bioactivecanada #flightlessfruitflies #dartfrogvivarium #frogdirtcanada

Bringing the foam vivarium background to life. Love the transformation that happens during this step! #vivarium #terrarium #dartfrogcanada #crestedgecko #easydiy #frogdirtcanada #yegpets #yycpets
