Get a micro water cycle going as water vapor will condense and run down the glass onto the "land" and will slowly percolate through the soil to the "sea" before evaporating again. Might be a interesting experiment.

@@edgarrosales9873 It would have to be a genetic survival trait. At this point, if as theorized, they need strong current, some of them probably adapted to a more sedentary lifestyle so that they just passively feed through the water. At this point, the water is chock full of micro organisms that they could eat. Any water movement from the amphipods is a bonus. Since there's no moving water, they just need to anchor themselves to something that gives them the most unrestricted access to water. What better place than a plant? It's higher than the rocks which have life all in and around them and they don't seem to be bothered too much by anything else around. I don't know how intelligent any of the life in that ecosphere is, or if they can tell the difference between food and a parasite, but if they can, they probably avoid them cause... well, most parasites are bad news.

@HiddenRealm

I somewhat doubt that they would have evolved much at all in such little time. Even with regular breeding and multiple generations, these types of insects have already been doing that likely since prehistoric eras, I don't think they're going to change drastically in an environment curated to already fit their normal environment. Sadly we aren't going to live long enough to ever see that sort of thing. Or at the very least, it's not something that we would best observe in a bubble enviornment like this particularly any better than field researchers would find in the wild with a lot more natural affects on genetics and natural selectors. What we might see instead are adaptations, like an adjustment to diet and such. Nothing on a genetic level, more so on the lifestyle level.

Really enjoyed watching I may have try this!

Wow, I think your videos would be very informational for making your own little ecosystem, just from one video you can really understand the balance you need to keep it thriving.

the first video about this vivarium he showed how he made it. pretty much plant's for oxygen, algae are on pretty much anything and will just grow, the river substrate for the ground, he probably hunted a bit those amphipod, and larvae. pretty sure he use UV lamp(but not sure about the power and such, it easy to check just check on google "lamp for plant". terrestrial moss, (which apparently grow in water.. didn't knew that lol xD) on the first video he also said what type of plant he did put. then you just seal the thing off, and wait 5 month xD, pretty insane but really thing can just go wrong I believe in the end there will be a "catastrophe" and the ecosphere will not die out but probably loose a bunch of the species. the most problematic is when the microscopic life take over the ecosphere, but that what special about it you never know what will happen. just try by yourself and try to understand why this or this species die, (the larvae he have were sure dying, adult stage they fly, those poor thing probably didn't had the chance to fly... but they fed the plant and the amphipod. the best is to try, learn and try again. and let the thing goes on (not open the ecosphere.) and then begin again. most of those species don't have long time expectancy anyway.

What type of lighting do you use?

I did something similar with discarded aquarium water and found living creatures in a sealed jar. Is your jar supposed to be always sealed, or do you occasionally open it?

Just getting started - how many hours per day do you have the light on?

This makes me want to play Spore.

Heyy, i want to do this to, but how do they breath? and do you take the organisms from there or do theu create themselves?

MORE PLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think to combat the amphipod population, some sort of parisite or rival of amphipods should be introduced

Hellgrammites (depending on your location) could have been an option for an apex predator to keep the amphipods in check, but maybe in not such a small ecosystem. I am not surprised that many species have died off in your ecosphere, since you pulled them from a lotic, cold water system, and placed them in a lentic system, right under a lamp, which probably raised the temperatures of the water beyond what they are accustomed to.

You should add some predators to balance stuff up

Are the original amphipods from the substrate you gathered or did you capture them?

What do you use to film these videos?

Imagine having so many jars with whole ecosystems inside 😮

How to i build my own ? :D this intressts me alot

Did you have to catch any of the critters or were they all just in the substrate when you first put it all in there?

how does one care for an terrarium/ecosphere? do you just leave it in a dark place, and not let the temp of the room fluctuate too much or rapidly?
