What you could've done is to shine a light from the sides so algae can still grow

This was cool, but I feel really bad for Sven! I’m glad you’re going to open it now and feed your shrimp. Best of luck to Sven the 2nd!

I also have these snails in my aquarium, got in with the plants. They grow crazy fast.

Yes me too. Have a snail genocide once a month or so to control the population. Thought they’d be like rams horn or mtg snails….. they are not 😅

LPT for adding water to a new tank. Put a square of bubble wrap on the substrate and gently pour water onto it first. Once the bubble wrap starts floating like 3-4 inches off the substrate you can just dump massive amounts of water into the middle and it flexes and absorbs all the energy. It's legit game changing. Can fill a 20g with a bucket in like 4 minutes start to finish including bucket refills

I'm glad you're redoing it with a better plan. It made me sad that the snail was stunted and the shrimp starved. I would have gave in and taken out the floaters or added food

Yeah, why let animals starve for views?

Wow thanks for compiling these bro, will create one in a few days from now and find a native shrimp perfect for this :)

Can’t wait to see it in another couple months 😊

3:45 I usually see this around decaying things. I always called it fungus but it's probably just a common bacteria

Wow, this is super exciting. This is going to be so cool :D

i cant wait to see what happens! i started my first terrarium the other day, now i want to try this too

I turned an old hanging lamp into a biosphere although I’m not sure that’s completely technical since it had one little tiny hole, but I could stick a toothpick with food on it in, but it lasted the whole two years that my fish lived, which is the usual life I’ve got these 2 to 3 years

Cool. Looking forward to seeing how the next one progresses ❤

This looks like a really fun project and I might have to start one at work.

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH CHRIS!!!! HAVE AN AMAZING DAY. I REALLY HOPE YOU GET WHATEVER YOU WANT IN LIFE!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Shrimp don't only molt when they have enough calcium and other nutrients to survive/thrive, they can also prematurely molt due to stress.

I’m setting up my first true aquascape! I have driftwood and a rock for a 5 gallon.

The way that Salvinia grow

I don't know if I can get through this.😢 I just found one of my shrimp with Ellobiop... (Can never remember the proper spelling) that green lichen like growth on the belly. There's supposedly treatments, but it's like 80+% fatal just to treat. Freaking LFS being busy and not checking their stock when they get them in! Freaking dummy me, thinking I had done enough research!! It may crash my whole shrimp tank because Lil dude was in w them a while before the growth stood out enough to see. 😭😭😭 Edit; actually watching this I really have to thank you Chris. I don't you'll see this tho😅. But you've given me inspiration to make a jar home and let my infected shrimp live out his life alone. Not enclosed, I'll do feedings so I can monitor. I will possibly try the hydrogen peroxide treatment for shrimper first, but maybe just let him live out whatever's left in peace in a jar like yours without treating and focus on observing the rest of my colony to make sure they're not catching this horrible parasite/ algae/ ???. I can't find a ton of research to even really know what it is. And some of the research says it's not even Ellobiopsea (?) But another organism because Ello... Mostly presents in marine shrimp. So tldr; thanks Chris, I thought this would be depressing because everyone said euthanize shrimper, but I think I'll just let him live in a tiny home and then compost all the substrate/ plants. 💙🙏💙✌️

Hi chirs!!

I think I have to make one now. chirs have you dealt with black beard algae.

There was something wrong with my tank's filter so I went to deal with it. I still need to catch up on 5 pages of science, 2 pages of math, and finish my English presentation but it's in the middle of the night right now. Good news: I fixed my filter

I'm sorry for Sven. I think adding food or making sure some food can grow is a lesson from this experience. It looks like you are onto something.

You know shrimp are social. Maybe instead of putting one lonely depressed shrimp in there, try and go for 2, male female and see if the closed ecosphere actually works, they will reproduce and if the babies survive the experiment truly works.

but why do you want to put them in a jar again instead of just using a small tank and keep them in a group, specially if you already know shrimp are social? to prove what? they will have sex? of course they will. there was an ecospere before with a shrimp it died really fast. must have proven that these ecospheres are not good for shrimp. equal to fishbowls for goldfish.

Hey Chris I’m new to the hobby and I’m tryna setup a tank and I was wondering if I could diffuse normal air into a co2 diffuser and not have any major problems and side effects or do I need to strictly use co2. I’m on a budget. Love from India 😊 If I can use normal air for how long do I have to keep it on per day.. We have good air quality it’s not very polluted and I will put a sponge or filter at the pump If I pump normal air...

I think at some point all the Sven realised they can’t kill themselves by jumping out and decided to starve themselves to death

And something random but boil oak leaves and the smell is amazing then you can put them in your tank and have some good smelling tea that you definitely do not drink

Is there a discord for more aquarium

I assume it's an educational thing that you believe this is okay, when it's clearly not, shimp have needs too specially beeing in a group. these days I can pay my rent from selling shrimp and I'm not even breeding them professionally, I do just take good care and they reproduce so much, so I guess I'm doing the right thing because I researched a lot.

@@plejade4125 first of all , I dont live in the us you are just soooo assuming !!! (And this is wrong). but an ecosysphere big enough could support shrimps . Compared to a betta , the shrimp doesn't care about a bowl defforming their vision , or the space they are in. The ecosphere is big enough to sustain them without disturbing the water parameters and they clearly feel safe in There ... There is so Much differences between a shrimp and a fish . The shrimp doesn't care where IT is as long as the parameters are good , a food sources , plants , hiding spots , etc . They would breed like crazy in There too... I've kept shrimps. They dont get depressed and distressed like fishes because their need for space is different! and a 2.5 gallons can sustain a breeding colonie .
