A Year Ago I Put Saltwater in a Jar, This Happened | Natural saltwater ecosphere 1 year update

A year ago I made this huge natural native saltwater ecosphere in a jar. It has had a lot of ups and downs, but to this day is still very successful. The ecosphere has housed crabs, starfish and a lot more and is currently still housing a lot of crustaceans, paramecium, worms, other invertebrates and even spionid worms.
Enjoy!

2 year update: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGi3mp2QqLl-r9k *There are some questions that I'm getting a lot so I'll just answer them here.* Q: _How can you 'accidentally' catch those animals?_ A: As you've noticed I collected a lot of seaweed and algae. The animals were probably hidden somewhere in that algae. I did not see them. Q: _What does it mean if they 'disappeared'?_ A: In the aquarium hobby, when people say "X has disappeared" It normally means that it was weakened or dead and got consumed by the others in the tank before the aquarist knows. That's also what happened here. Q: _Why did you not return the crab back to the ocean?_ A: The only saltwater I had was the water in the jar. That water was already polluted, which was fine for in the ecosphere but it wouldn't have been good enough to transport the crab. It would have been a trip of a few hours, too long. If I had tried to take it back it would have died. Instead, it got to live another five months. Q: _If it were in the ocean the crab would have lived a happy long life._ A: If that crab was still in the ocean, the chance of it being eaten at it's small size or dying for other reasons would have been really high. Only a very small percentage of crab babies ever make it to adulthood. If it makes you feel any better, the crab nor the starfish have consciously suffered. Starfish don't have brains and crabs aren't capable of any complex emotions other than physical pain. For all questions that concern the working of the ecosystem, like: _Where do they get air?_ or _You should do water changes_ please consult this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gWGsnniEoNJ8eNE If you want to try this yourself but don't know how, I made a how to video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKfQaZmnpq-jkK8

Good to see ur video. I even watch ur train wild animals like tge magpie & lizard so wonderful! Keep have fun with wild life 👌

[@problemvticc1952]

Coming from someone who lives on an island and is surrounded by ocean, it is SO EASY to accidentally take home creatures, and often if you live far from the ocean [foreigners traveling from place to place] it's best to just take them with you than to return them to another beach far from where you've found it, or even travel back to the same beach. The amount of stress the animal has endured + change in environment would 80% of the time kill the animal anyway. If they happen to survive, for creators like this, it's a good thing! This experiment isn't as 'cruel and harsh' like people are saying. The crab was a mere accident, and there's millions of them all over the beaches. If anything, the little dude probably enjoyed free no effort food, and no predators for the 5 months he lived there. Thank you for telling the full story! It's amazing to watch things like this. I was very interested to see what had come of the little jar.

[@RelentlessPedigree]

That is simply not true about the crab. Crabs can feel threatened, pain, comfort, discomfort, etc.

[@parisinthe30sx]

RelentlessPedigree no it's not true at all, you're right. Just because starfish don't have brains doesn't mean they can't feel pain. They have a very complex nervous system. and as for crabs not having complex emotions, you may want to read this science.time.com/2013/01/18/do-crabs-feel-pain-maybe-and-maybe-we-should-rethink-eating-them/ they certainly can remember and avoid repeating certain instances where the suffered pain. Thats definitely more than just a reflexive action. Animals, invertebrates deserve compassion regardless. My cousins have accidently caught ocean crabs(i live on an island, and they were the same kind as that one I think) multiple times to where I had to release them, one to a wave pool, I even marked his shell as an experiment and he was still alive weeks later. They may stress, but it's better to give them a chance at surviving.

In order to grow larger, crabs need to shed their "shell". They do this by heading to dry land to cast off their skin and emerge larger. I learned this after my first pet crab died, because I did not provide it a dry space to shed its skin. Afterwords, I adjusted my habitat to have a "beach" area, and the new crabs did very well. I hope this helps understand what happened. :(

[@JPearlLapis]

This may be true for some crabs but I doubt it applies to ALL crabs. Some of them live in very, very deep water and those ones probably never see dry land.

[@verryberryman7655]

@@JPearlLapis that may be true but the guy in the video got the crabs from the beach so Kiwi Fox3's example would make more sense.

Hey. Great job on the ecosphere. I love these things. It's sad the little guy died. But it's also nature. It's great you document it. Maybe set up a webcam just for it? Did the jar recover? If you close it down, be sure to return all the water and what's left to the ocean. It minimizes your foot print.
