HUGE Spring Ecosphere update - SO MANY MYSTERIES...

It has been about one and a half months since I made this ecosphere and this is a great time to show you what has been going on in this ecosphere. There are a lot of mysteries...Most of them I don't know the answer to. But the plants are doing fantastic and so are the aquatic isopods. This HUGE 10 liter/2.5 gallon ecopshere is still doing great!
Enjoy!

Put snow in a ecosphere and melt it and then put dirt and soil in it and see what happens

[@ThinkerYT]

what the hell this is incredibly interesting!

[@LifeinJars]

Ehh YES

[@nealthomson9505]

Again, a neodymium magnet that you can get from an old set of ear phones or even better would be the old speaker from a broken cell phone. Make sure to coat it with hot glue from a glue gun or maybe marine silicone. Then seal the magnet inside the jar so that you can clean the glass to film better and also to be able to have a more subtle influence inside the jar . .you could even attach wires and sticks to poke and move things around inside the jar

Hi! Good to see you're doing ok now. A lot of things have happened to the ecosphere but it looks really healthy. It's nice to see how much it changed since the last update. The music was good too, as usual. Keep up the good work!

[@LifeinJars]

Hi, thanks, yes, yes, thanks, I will!

[@LifeinJars]

First

[@keganthomas_GEORG3W_KUSH_]

love your videos want to try some my self what kind of plants did u use for this one im very curious im trying to get some for my fresh water aquarium

[@Beowulf0510]

I know I'm fairly late but in ome of your videoa you said the planaria have no common name. They are simply flatworms.

[@dacool_boe4071]

Makes sense

[@amandadonegan2137]

Ive kept Asellus for 15 years or more....wonderful little bugglies...

[@deweysmithey567]

I love seeing tubifex little wiggly bois. Boogie worms are awesome

[@Shaden0040]

Those "Threads" might be mycchorhyzoid fungus.

[@LifeinJars]

Well I googled it and literally nothing popped up but I believe you! ;)

[@Shaden0040]

Try under Mycorrhiza,Mycchorhizae, or Mycorrhizal. It could be some other type of thread fungus.

[@mitchl5220]

Yay! Glad to see you're feeling better. This ecosphere is amazing. The weird string algae originating from the twig is a type of slime mould (you often get them inside terrariums.) Has anything interesting happened with your salt water ecosphere lately? I'd love to see another update video of it.

[@LifeinJars]

That is new information for me. No not that much has happened with the saltwater ecosphere. The algae is still growing but I haven't been able to catch the little animal on camera. I'm planning to make a bigger one soon though....

[@ianderonde5719]

Very cool!

[@rita_calamity]

at 5:00 what is that is that a hydra or something else?

[@LifeinJars]

Erpobdella octoculata

[@randomhuman3064]

Maybe poop from the snail? : D 3:15

When you first started this ecosphere, it really inspired me to start my own and I have a very healthy 2 liter ecosphere that has seen some critters go and some new ones appear out of nowhere. It is so much fun to watch! Thanks for the videos, glad I found you!

[@LifeinJars]

It is always nice to hear that you inspired someone. Ecospheres are great fun and you can learn a lot from them. Thanks for your comment!

[@bigfoxki]

I am so jealous you get your hands on the aquatic isopod...

[@bigfoxki]

I think that spider looking thing is water mite.

[@LifeinJars]

It took a lot of dedication and patience to get them haha

[@bigfoxki]

You did a good job, also congrats on your saltwater ecosphere, made me want to try one too.

[@Ripplie1997]

I just started watching your videos today and I love the witty way you talk about your ecospheres. You made me laugh more than a few times. I'd love to see more!

[@LifeinJars]

Thanks that's great to hear! Welcome to the channel!

[@RustyTrooper]

I've only started watching your vids today you've got me really interested I kinda wanna try this now keep up the good work

[@LifeinJars]

Thanks. It's fun to do so you should try

[@tweakerseeker]

some of these look like leaches?

[@LifeinJars]

Yes

[@MoreChannelNoise]

Some cool creatures in there. Strange you never got any gammarus pulex called Scuds in USA (Vlokreeftjes) from the pond, I always get them when I collect from the local Sloot near Huizen.

[@LifeinJars]

Yeah I guess they don't live here. I caught some in the saltwater ecosphere though

[@matthewdownes6051]

The first plant you showed looks like what we call hogswart in the US it's my favorite hardy and fast growing plant.

[@AnonymousGamer-ut5nz]

Man this guy is awesome

[@LifeinJars]

Thanks

[@eltipobuho]

LiJ: Let's see it from another angle :D Isopods: OH $&#@ EARTHQUAKE WE GON DIE D:

[@dylanleamananderson7811]

Very glad I found the channel very interesting content right here

[@arrisbt]

I wonder what would happen if a species went extinct and the only remaining ones were in one of these ecospheres

[@robdelman3487]

Spaghetti worm

[@swimmer8585]

You should do one and put a tadpole or two in there, and then they can grow into a frog

[@LifeinJars]

I'm afraid they'll die. But I might set up a tank with some tadpoles if that's something a lot of people want to see

[@keganthomas_GEORG3W_KUSH_]

love your videos want to try some my self what kind of plants did u use for this one im very curious im trying to get some for my fresh water aquarium

[@LifeinJars]

Vallisneria and Cabomba

[@Oeliboeb]

[@LifeinJars]

HUUUUGE

[@feddejorritsma5076]

[@mrmissalot8311]

Ayyy looks like your feeling better! Great video.

[@LifeinJars]

A LOT. Thanks!

[@mrmissalot8311]

Life in Jars? Good good, i love the feeling just after you're feeling ill, i always feel really productive ahah.

[@LifeinJars]

I'm not really at that point yet but I'm getting there!

[@mrmissalot8311]

Life in Jars? All good. :)

[@archiles666]

3:06 Whose that pokemon? Its a Bellsprout! Looks kinda similar.

[@kennyscott1089]

Wonderful stuff. I just started a fresh water one today and I go down and start a salt one tomorrow

[@AnonymousGamer-ut5nz]

Ooooh that orange half sphere is an ostracod

[@grandtheftlemon301]

the mystery animal looks like a little bell

[@ArchersVideo]

I love your channel keep it up!

[@TravelsAndConversations]

what plants did you plant? :)

[@mariacelialimasanchez4028]

Cool ecoshere

[@moodybytch]

So watching your videos I made a tiny Eco spear and I've noticed that I don't have much life except the beginning of mosquitoes I believe and these little little tiny white things that are that are swimming around that you can only see with a magnifying glass

[@LifeinJars]

You never know how it develops. Don't give up on it!

[@moodybytch]

Thank you for replying I won't give up on it

[@renatoguzman6911]

Whats that worm at 4:23 called?

[@LifeinJars]

Erpobdella octoculata

[@ThePOSM]

I believe they ARE roots at the top, you appear have them all in your ecosphere

[@LifeinJars]

Really?

[@ThePOSM]

@@LifeinJars only from what i can see here :) sounds like a proper examination & documentation is required! Plus i think a few aquatic plants & normal plants have the capability to grow roots under the right conditions; like you can get a cutting from a plant and make it grow roots etc :) my hypothesis! - loving your projects! Your isopods may be more red from the protine theyve consumed i believe, simular thing happens with crustaceans like brine shrimp ive noticed! Interesting lil creature @2:00 - looks like a similar specimen to the other @3:08 lol

[@nomadicgamerfun6164]

Water tick

[@LifeinJars]

Maybe, but I don't think so

[@ChimpFromSpace]

Is it self sustaining? Or will everything die off eventually from lack of resources?

[@LifeinJars]

The idea is that it is self sustaining. My ecospheres seem to be all quite good at that
