Man, the character development within this ecosystem is more then it ever deserved to be. I love it

"Ok, bro it's 2 am, tomorrow you have a test, you need to sle- OH SHIT THE FUN JAR" *proceed to watch 30 minutes of mini echosystems in jars* "... shit..."

Its awe inspiring to see how fast this ecosystem can balance itself again. Love these videos! Keep it up!! ❤

Ecosystem: **doesn’t have any Amphipod predators** Amphipods: fine, I’ll do it myself

At least they did not split into Morlocks and Eloi... The jar looks great even after a year!

These videos are always so soothing to watch.

What a beautiful and calming life cycle. This is an art!🙏😢

Man, I just found your channel. I didn't know I needed this until I saw It.

This channel is so therapeutic. I've fallen in love with your videos.

I absolutely love these videos! I stumbled on this channel yesterday and now I'm absolutely fascinated, it's really neat to watch these mini ecosystems develop!

I really love your channel! It's completely fascinating how a simple idea can yield such amazing images. Please keep going! Thanks for your work :)🙏❤❤

Another great video as always! I have you to thank for starting an ecosphere of my own!!

I absolutely love this channel. Best find this year.

Wow, it's so clear after a year. Interesting video!

I haven't watched the first one, but it feeks so weird watching the survivors of a near-extinction event for everything from something that was (supposedly, again, havent watched the og) booming with life. The music helps with that vjbe, too.

I never get tired of seeing these wonderful ecosphere's. Thanx so much for sharing with us.

In closed ecosphere's like this, do the boom and bust cycle fluctuations ever slow down enough to finally reach a stable state, or does it just continue in perpetuity? I'm assuming that they just continue, but I really don't know.

Such boom-and-bust cycles are abundant in open-er systems too. If you look up "Lotka-Volterra" models and equation systems, you can see many real life examples.

I love how after a year in the jar the general appearance is very aquarium-like. The ostracods probably helped with that, but the appearance is just so pristine.

Crazy to think, they all live within these jars unaware of the big outside world around them, puts into perspective that we could all be in one huge ecosphere and we would be oblivious, perhaps the earth is an alien ecosphere..........deep

Great footage; what camera is used? and lens for the close ups?

i was wondering how you handle the ecospheres, do you keep them inside all the time, don't they need winter dormancy, do you use grow lights or just keep them on a window sill, what sizes of jars do you recommend, that kind of stuff … maybe you could do a meta-video on these things sometimes :)

It's been really fun to watch this jar develop. Do you think that if you had an airstone the trichoptera would have survived? I'm thinking of trying this

Do you know how those original three different large critters got in? In the soil you first placed or floating in the water you added?

The glass is clean because he never clean it. The jar is like a mini ecosystem with the organism inside balancing itself. Aquarium is not a natural ecosystem so it always need your attention

I have a question that may be stupid, but when you set up an ecosphere, do you put the different species inside or are they just there, growing from small organisms?
