I come back here and check every few months when I remember hoping for a sign of life for the channel. Can’t tell you how stoked I am to see the creator “hearted” a comment 4 months ago.

Your videos meant so much to me at the start of the pandemic - when the world was locked down, and we weren’t able to make it out into the greater world, you brought the world to us in a way that felt safe even thought nothing else was. Whether you keep making videos or not, I wanted to say thank you. Your work has meant the world. 💚

It's hard not to be overwhelmed by the incredible beauty of life. To be able to observe, like a pure spirit without a body, all these beings as if we were at their side, in the rivers, buried under the earth or deep in the forests, all this without for once causing any disturbance to the world around us, that's a marvellous dream, which your channel makes possible. For this I thank you.

You inspired me to start my own life in a jar experiment just a week ago and it seems to be doing okay so far. Mostly just flatworms, lots and lots of flatworms.

[@madaotee]

But I guess we're not getting anymore of this

[@Nverinder716]

this is amazing, well earned likes and a sub from me! I actually tried to make an ecosphere just like this after seeing your videos last year, but it didn't seem to last long - everything inside went dead and black in less than a month. It's amazing you've kept this one for 2 years!

[@son_60han]

Love how you explain each of the organism in there

[@solar0wind]

I wonder if some species in your ecospheres decline because of inbreeding depression. In small populations after a bottleneck event (in this case caused by you taking just a small sample of the main population) there's not much genetic variation, and random genetic drift usually destroys even more genetic variation. If there aren't any new non-harmful mutations, almost all of the gene variants will die out after some time, and then it depends on whether the remaining alleles are harmful or beneficial.

[@firebolt100]

@Haseeb 2 That's a good point, but I'm guessing the benefit of large amounts of offspring would be nulled if the new generation is preyed upon too much. The arrival of any genetic diversity is only viable if the offspring live love enough to reproduce those genes.

[@Intervaloverdose]

@@firebolt100 It may be a large number of offspring but it still be lower in diversity.

[@samuelargyropoulos1249]

​@Haseeb 2 But those generations only contain the genes of the few organisms they descend from, and I'm not sure if genetic diversity can increase in such a small environment.

[@joshu417]

If it wasn’t for you i would’ve never gotten into the hobby, i started out small with just using a jar and replicating what you did, that was 3 years ago and now i’ve moved onto caring for entire vivariums with fish, frogs and salamanders, I can’t thank you enough for what you’ve done for me with these videos ❤️

I grew up in a village and adopted two amphipods by carrying them in a pool of water in my hands as a child, and carrying them home. I put them in my makeshift ‘pond’ that I was building. Unfortunately they were the only two living things in it yet and I’d filled it with tap water 🤦🏻‍♀️ I came back the next day and was horrified to find they’d simultaneously eaten eachother.. both had matching chunks out their bellies. Well at least now as an adult I’m going to make an ecosphere and watch my amphipods thrive 🥺

[@chialara5302]

Wow gorgeous footage and so educational! I’m very inspired to make one now thank you!

[@BusierMold58]

Me too! I started my own systems four months ago. By far, my most successful system has been my paludarium, which is absolutely FLOURISHING! :D I might upload one year update videos of some of my systems to KZbin if any of them are still doing well by then. :)

Just a request here, can you do a video about the equipment you use to study and maintain these ecosystems, like magnifying and lighting equipment and such as well as the resources you use to identify the organisms in the ecosystems like books or websites?

[@Fuzzi974]

An update ! Yeah ! You motivated me to make my very own ecosphere, but I put too much ground (like half the recipient was ground and rocks) and also got a very big worm inside... like finger big. I had to start over yesterday but the new one is looking good, although I have not seen any worm or amphipod like I quickly saw on the first try. I got snails though, possibly 2 species if I'm not mistaking, so that's good. They'll keep the glass clean enough for me to see inside :)

You should try adding some microgreen seeds to your terrarium and see if some of them grow before they get eaten. I tried this myself and found that the plants can quickly outgrow the insect’s feeding habits with enough numbers. This helps keeping your terrarium nice and green!

I love all your videos, Congratulations for such an amazing work. One question I have is, whenever you create this ecosystems, it seems like organism appear spontaneously then the very same ecosystem balance itself, like whenever there are organism eating the plants somehow appear a predator to reduce the population of such organism, is this true, or you practice some intervention in order for this ecosystem remain balanced and all organism involved; either plants, bacteria and animals prevails? thanks in advance
