It would be awesome to do something like this but with a slow, constant supply of hydrogen sulfide. You'd want to keep it closed with a filter on it, since hydrogen sulfide is both toxic and it stinks, but microbes can and will feed on it. There's a cave with a whole ecosystem based on chemotrophs(Movile cave). It's a rather flush ecosystem too. Also, hydrothermal vents in the deep sea are built upon those hydrogen sulfide leaking vents.

please never stop making these videos and being you, these videos brighten my day

The green screen work is done brilliantly ❤❤

Freshwater Limpets are AMAZING at cleaning the algae from aquarium glass! There's only one place I have been able to buy them from a store near me in Toronto, Canada. I highly recommend you get some more and eventually add them to your aquarium.

Sometimes I just can't help but project thoughts & feelings onto the inhabitants of these jars: LIJ: Here we have a big diatom.. Diatom: *I* come from an _amazing_ line of prime specimens 😁 LIJ: In fact's it's the greatest I've ever seen.. Diatom: *Yeess!* I am THE ALPHA! My line will outlast _everyone_ else! 😎 LIJ: Unfortunately diatoms tend not to do well without sunlight.. Diatom: _huh.. wait_ WUT?! LIJ: I'm going to keep this jar in absolute darkness in my closet for a week.. Diatom: 😱 [One Week Later] LIJ: _Unfortunately I have not seen the diatom.._

Hello Jarness my old friend.

I just wanted to say you inspired me to take up this hobby. So far i haven’t had a lot of luck, but I do have one jar that is still alive after almost a year. There are no visible critters, but the plant is thriving and growing so it has to have microorganisms doing their thing. Its from a creek in my home town. At the end of the month i’ll be driving across the US and my daughter and I are going to try and collect materials from the Mississippi river.

The transparent mosquito larvae is in fact a worm, an oligochaete. But I don't remember the name. I also got some from a pond

10:03 “Ah you think darkness is your ally? You merely adopted the dark. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn't see the light until I was already a man, by then it was nothing to me but blinding!”

I love your channel. You helped me get my first few terrariums going and one of them lasted 2 years and was beautiful every spring. Keep it up as long as you're loving it cause we're loving it.

I enjoy your content! Entertaining and educational! Just wanted to mention that the red larvae you called a mosquito larvae is a midge (family Chironomidae) which is a non-biting insect. The mosquito larvae is from family Culicidae. It has a larger head, thorax and lives more freely in the water column.

*scoops random dirt and water* *has more biodiversity than any biology book*

Something that would be really interesting is to get the genomes sequenced of the things living in the jars and see what changes have happened, if any, over so many generations? I wonder if any evolution has taken place?

Very cool, especially those worms! I also love the scuds. Would love to see month, 6 months, and year updates!

Thanks for sharing your knowledge, good times, and good looks with us. You're the best!

Entropy is real, it will wind down. Maybe it could have a hot spot, say an aquarium heater in the mud.

I am here for thr same thing. i already watch "Journey to the Microcosmos" and "Ants Canada" but omg i found another one guys

I'm enjoying my ostrocod jars with algae and duckweed still. They can't be closed entirely because they are too small and require a tiny bit of air flow. But the pin sized holes also helps most the evaporation to a minimum. Thanks for encouraging me to do this, I've always wanted to! I've make many off shoots from the mother jar over the years. 6 years going now!

OH NO! I want to see you compare it to another jar of the exact same stuff that is given a regular cycle of day and night light and compare it to the total darkness one! It seems a shame to kill off all those creatures and diatoms!

okay i have also an idea for a video What would happen if you froze a jar over a month and then unfreeze it and check what survived a week after the unfreeze

those limpet snails are so cute

Always fun to watch your experiments. Thanks for sharing.

This is going to be a fun experiment. Can't wait for the future!

This was a really interesting episode! I want to see any closed jar ecosystem that you want to make. I found all the new creatures in this ecosystem very exciting. I hope they all make it and I think they'd be interesting characters in even an aquarium! I hope you're still feeding the birds.

I would like to see a jar with the limpets separately or the other species like with the copepods video

Love these experiments! I wonder if you had a closed ecosystem where one part was in darkness and one part was in light whether enough oxygen could be generated to support life in both.

what would the external energy input be keeping the jar alive? in this case is it additional oxygen? since there is no sunlight

Can you combine two ecosystems via a thin pipe and have one receive a lot more light while the other having more nutrients? Will the two jars have local ecosystems? How much will they mix?

experimental experiments are the best!

I don’t own a terrarium (and probably never will) but it’s always very interesting to see people like you pour their time and effort into this type of hobby

At the end of the year you should combine all the jars together and see what survives

Have you considered adding a bubbler to increase oxygen further? I know it’s an investment but I’m curious

2:18 NOOOOO!!!

dude thats crazy I just had the idea to do this last week. so cool to see it

I always love the commentary! Your content is great!

you should do some other ones where fuck with the light cycle to see how it effects the plant and animal life. like make some twinscapes with a 12/12 control, then more rapid cycles lke 6/6, 3/3, 1/1

It should be very interesting to see how this ecosystem responds to no light, I'd imagine that pond sediment already is fairly low light so it might tolerate it better than most but only time will tell

Enjoy your life in jars series. So with this experiment you changed the orbit of the planet the sample was extant in (from earth orbit to a 7 'day' night, with a one(?) hour 'day') ... Thus you have initiated a 'catastrophic periodic speciation event'. :) Expect an explosion of speciation. You should come up with an hypothesis before you start a next observational experiment. Perhaps one where you change the ambient temperature say 10 degrees C and a similar life sample (as a control) that stays the same temp. Might be fun! Cheers. mh/
