  • I Created 5 Tiny Ecosystems contained inside of glass jars
    The first ecosphere is comprised of Ocean Water and Sand taken from a Florida Beach.
    The second ecosphere contains Florida swamp water and mud
    The third ecosphere is filled with Ohio pond water and mud
    The fourth and fifth tiny ecosystems are custom built ecospheres which I built myself. They are both built on a false bottom. One of which is built Paludarium style and the other terrarium style. They are both Vivariums contained inside of glass jars

    These are so cool, I'll definitely think about doing it now that you've shown how easy it can be. You're a braver man than me for walking into those swamps anyway!

      Hey thanks! You definitely should attempt these on your own. It was so much fun discovering all the different forms of life in these habitats. Also don’t worry I was scared 💩-less in the Florida swamp water 😅

    No idea why this was suggested to me, but I'm really glad it was!

    I really enjoyed your video! I’m pretty sure that the worms on the glass from the Ohio water are planaria!

      I just looked up planaria and you’re definitely right! Actually the first picture I saw looked almost identical

    Ive been making closed terrariums that are bioactive with plants and springtails.
    Shrimp ecosphere is the next thing i want to get into!

      I think it’s some sort of shrimp…I haven’t ever been able to see it outside of the little twig it hides in
