Woodland Stream Ecosphere - 1 Month update (Where is the parasite?)

[@ImminentTortoise]

I've never been happier to have a health update on a group of amphipods, glad they're doing well.

[@TELITUBYKILLA]

I watch this stuff to fall asleep, not that it's boring but that it is calming.

[@claudiocarbone2225]

Samee i also watch these videos to fall asleep

[@pomegranates5902]

They strangely appear in my recomended nowadays whenever I'm tired and need some peace, it's kinda spooky, but I greatly appreciate it

[@M00iNenita]

Me too 👀

[@MrNight-dg1ug]

How do you fall asleep with YT? Do you use bluetooth earbuds? Doesn' YT just keep playing videos? What happens?

[@Nephelis]

@@MrNight-dg1ug sometimes, when a really long video is playing it'll stop with a message, like ''are you watching yet?'' you don't need to answer, just with that is enough to stop the video until you wake up. Now I'm curious, why so many questions?

[@purplehaze2358]

You should put a stick or water reed in the aquarium that emerges above the water level so that when the fly larvae are ready to emerge, they have something to climb out of and dry off on in the jar.

Quick question : do they live with artificial light ? If so, do you cut it when it’s night, or are they always in light ? I just discovered you, and I would like to do the same thing, I want to study nature

Krezmick okay, thanks for your response :)

[@misanthropicservitorofmars2116]

Yeah if you can keep your light as accurate as the normal day night cycle. You’ll be set. All life on earth follows that cyclical rhythm.

[@silverlime4921]

!! so glad to see the parasites off the shrimp :>> i could see their discomfort previously they seem much more content now

[@dogchaser520]

Thanks for the video. Grammar pet peeve: the possessive form of it is its, no apostrophe. So "its shell", "its casing", etc. "it's" is only used for the contraction "it is". But still, thank you for doing this! Great footage!

[@Star_Stormz]

This is one of the most calming channels I know -w-

[@camdonchurch7903]

wow, i was disappointed you didn’t explain the parasite more in the first video. that’s amazing that it cleared up, those lil dudes probably feel 100% better

[@Anidem9]

I used to do this type of thing as a kid much to my parents dismay for some reason. I'm an adult now, and watching these videos really makes me want to do this type of thing again. There is just a beauty to looking inside a glass jar full of water and critters living in there.

[@TheNemeton]

Something about this is satisfying, fascinating, and peaceful.

Are you still keeping them in a jar?

[@MrChazz10]

I'm glad I found your channel 😎. Now I don't have to go anywhere for my "nature walks" as someone once called my zoning out on amazing cool stuff 😅

[@PedroBremberger]

Quite interesting to see how the organisms have adapted to beeing take out of the stream. I would like to hear your thoughts on their adaptation. You mentioned a bit of it with the filter feeder parasites, have you noticed any change in any other organisms or do they seem okay to be on standing water now? Great idea and great videos btw!

[@thelunes6549]

I'd put this on loop just for the background music

[@GreatBambinoGaming]

Hey man, just went and bought a glass jar and made my own ecosphere on my day off. It was one of these, right from the heart of the Great Smoky Mountains in Tennessee... I’ve seen one thing already... it’s SOOOO tiny looks like a micro spider almost with red on it? Thanks man.

What is the longevity on something like this? Are you releasing the macro invertebrates once they finish their instars and pupate?

[@andrewrichards9513]

I'm going to do this tomorrow if I can buy please could someone tell me is it just luck to get insects in there or do you need to try and catch something ? Also dose it need to be filled right to the top, like no air at all or can there be some air ? This looks amazing and I'd love to do it properly and get something in it. Thanks

Can you share what camera and lenses you're using. Your macro shots are amazing!

[@willierants5880]

Question, do you leave the ecosphere lit 24/7 or do you turn the light(s) out at night?

[@saurabhshrigadi]

Sunlight. For video recording it put on the light

[@zatoth13]

Just curious on how the mayflies, caddisflies and stoneflies will be handled upon reaching adulthood

[@DarkAngels1600]

So does all ecospheres require a source of light, and if so does it have to be constant or does the natural light from outside work just as well?

[@jivejunior8753]

Light is required because the ecosystem needs a source of energy to survive. Although matter is recycled in the jar, energy is consumed and converted to waste heat, which leaves the jar. Like an engine, the ecosystem requires energy to run. Natural light would work, I believe, but the problem is that you might overheat the jar. If you set it up on a day with a low amount of sun and some days later the sun is much brighter, it may shine too much light on the jar. Since the ecosystem is closed, it has no way to regulate its temperature, so the whole thing will die of overheating. Similarly, the jar may not take well to seasonal changes in sunlight. I still think it could work, but you'd have to be careful.

[@TWCHHK]

Very interesting stuff here. I just found your channel and subscribed immediately! I was wondering whether creating such ecosphete could be used to experiment with changing the conditions (e.g. temperature) and seeing how the entire ecosphere would adapt and how fast.

[@keinboesewicht]

i imagine the stream water being very cold. do you think it would be a good idea too put the jar in a cool space, or even cool it? or is that not necessary? glad to see the amphipods doing well!

[@YoshiManden]

What type of lighting do these terrariums need? I’m thinking of making one myself since it seems simple enough. But keeping the ecosystem alive sounds much harder.

[@MrNight-dg1ug]

It's an ecosystem; You just let it be. Simulate and outside world with lighting, and that's all.

[@Philbyyyy]

@@MrNight-dg1ug can you just put it up against the Window then? Instead of having a light

[@richardkennedy7941]

I need to try this, got a river 2 minutes away and a couple of ponds aswell to get stuff from

[@stibar100]

Very nice project. I really like to try it too ! Just to say, the first insect is not a stonefly larva but an other mayfly larva (maybe Baetidae or something like that). Abdominal gills are présent. The second one is a Heptageniidae. The first microorganism seen on the glass (1:18) seems to be a gastrotrich. Regards.

[@Mag-ls2zs]

I would like to make one for myself and I am wondering,are you adding the creatures by yourself?Do you have any advice for a beginner?

[@axelortiz4744]

[@sarahgokce6507]

So are all those closed eco systems going without oxigen?

[@madasahatter5514]

Absolutely fantastic video! Loved it, and it's so interesting. Thank you.

[@JS-nu9bt]

Wouldnt the water become stagnant after that long period of time?

[@bananamilk8099]

I’m not entirely sure if they were parasites especially if they were filter feeders. To be classified as a parasite they would have to be harming the organisms they were attached to. It’s entirely possible for them to be epizoic meaning they were attached to the exterior non parasitically

[@charlottem.1477]

Banana Milk answered above already. It was covering their mouths and stealing food.

[@SirSmite1]

do the larva stay larva or do the grow and then drown?

[@seaglass8940]

It was let go per comment below by owner.

[@Jartopia]

I leave an air pocket at the top.

[@lowendpcgamer7583]

How do these creatures get inside the jar?

[@davidcarter9322]

This came from a flowing stream and now the water is still. How does this effect the living organisms?

[@owengow7703]

I heard from the first video that only a few species need the flowing water to survive. And these species were most likely picked from a still section of the stream.
