Being able to have a tiny universe in your home to watch teeming with life is just about one of the coolest things I've seen in a long time. I'm going to get into this and try to make one of my own. The most exciting part will likely be trying to identify all the different species in the jar. Can't wait! Thank you for turning me on to this!

Keep the calming music. I love watching and listening it actually helps with my anxiety. Inspired now to make my own.

This popped up in my feed one day and I was mesmerized. This is so fascinating and I like that you don't speak but rather educate your audience with information on the screen. I hope you continue to make these video and that your channel continues to grow!

I've started one of my own too now because of you ^-^ One month in and it's looking a little bare compared to yours but the plants are really starting to show up now and I can't wait to see how it turns out I can't believe how beautiful yours turn out

I'm so glad KZread randomly decided to reccomend your videos. Your stuff if so cool and beautiful, and your videos are so calming (and informative!). You reignited my love of terrariums, lol

what amazes me is not just the larger more visible organisms swimming around, but those tiny tiny small specks in the water, 1000s of them all living

These jars are absolutely amazing and very unique! The amount of life in them is fascinating.

This is a very well put together video! I can’t wait for an update on this!!

This ecosphere, like all your ecospheres, is so unique and interesting! How life went into full blossom by adding water is simply amazing. Organisms hatching out of dried eggs like Sea Monkeys was so fascinating!

Upload more if possible pls. Thanks! Love ur channel keep growing!!!

I love how simple all of these look yet so complex when you actually look closer. This one is really pretty (of course lots of them are). I love the duckweed. I've been thinking about trying one.

Another brilliant video as always. Good job.

It amazes me that you can zoom in to a microscopic organism, and all around it is a swarm of even smaller organisms. It is absolutely incredible how a clump of mud is teeming with so much life.

Another beautiful video

I’m thinking that the critters are green because they’ve been in an environment where lots of chlorophyll was being produced when the area dried out. Open field, lots of sunshine-> green microbiota. It’s fascinating the Interconnectedness of the whole system. I’m really glad that I found this channel. I’m stuck inside the house due to health issues and I’ve been going nuts. You have inspired me to try some new adventures! I have three outdoor ponds in livestock watering tanks but there’s very limited vegetation in them yet. I’d like to get some cold hardy aquatic plants in them to increase their biodiversity. Then I could build ecospheres to bring inside for the winter.

The mere idea that this dude put some dirt and water in a cup, and nurtured it into a fully functioning ecosystem rich with multiple completely different types of aquatic creatures, even if some are similar. I love your videos man and I really want to get into it, but I think this is enough to cure my curiosity on this stuff for now.

Wow, this is one of your best ecospheres.

Amazing biodiversity in this one, my favorite video of yours so far! Thanks for sharing

Such an inspirational video! I found your channel last night and today I'm heading to the woods to start one wet and one dry habitat. I live in northern Europe aswell (Sweden) so your instructions are easy to apply.

Love your channel!

I always get happy when I watch your videos. I've been working on a few jars of my own, in a desert environment there's not a lot of wetlands but I've managed to find a few! It's a wonderful passtime

Love these videos. Usually watch them in bed. So relaxing.

This is brain massage! And i love how much you know about the different types and species. Small documentaries. No wonder you got most of 100K followers! Keep it up!

I'm really impressed how life in a jar seems to evolve. Love the video.

hi everyone and Jartopia.. i became a big fan of your site and have now 5 ecospheres witch i really enjoy watching all day trough. Thank u sooo much for your enthuisiasm and your very good videos.

You are doing very beautiful and interesting work. The music with the visuals and quiet delivery of information is so appreciated. I get lost in these little universes, full of life- so very wonderful Edit: it all works together so well. I get the information that’s interesting but it’s all so relaxing and surreal at this perspective. It’s like sharing the same level as these tiny but important and fascinating living things

I really like the content! Very informative!

I made a couple tiny ecospheres because of you. :) One from rainwater in an empty plant pot and one from a shallow part of a pond, and they are so different and incredible! I can see some of the microorganisms with my naked eye, and there’s even some macro-organisms in the pond one, like a worm and a tiny shrimp looking friend. it’s all so cool

Those spotted ostracods are so freakn cute!

Make a fantasy style ecosystem... have a floating island ( using an aerated stone which floats ) and wrap the island material around with a small opening in the center or side like a pond or whatever to access the water underneath. then have an underwater ecosystem too.

I love it when it is ecosphere time!

interesting thought, but mites are arachnids. there are small exceptions to the rule that arachnids always have eight legs, and this is one of them. besides, no organism can change classes, or any order for that matter

The mechanism for dispersal of some clam and mussle species is that the larva attach to the gills of fish, becoming almost a parasite until they are large enough to release and attach to the substrate. That's my guess for what happened to the mite.

How do I learn more about the flora and fauna at this level? Are there any good books you can refer. Simply amazing!

Your videos are wondrous teeming with amazing forms of life. Where do you get your jars? What size do you use for the long-term ones?

Awesome

I have a few ecospheres, but my most lively one is from water in my field, one day I got a mason jar and filled it up with water and plant leaves. After looking in it a couple hours later I could immediately tell why my dog would itch after running around in the water. There were thousands of tiny things swimming around in the water. Later they grew into worms, then they turned into flies. A few months later I decided to check up on it again, there are now hundreds of tiny animals swimming around it it again. I think they were transported into the water by ducks, they swim in the water all the time.
