    THANK YOU for not putting fish in it AND stating it's too small for fish! Too many people making tiny aquarium videos trying to go viral then sticking a goldfish, betta, guppies, or all the above together 😢
    Honestly, you could probably get away with a few neocaridina shrimp (I can't quite tell the size though), but definitely ramshorns. I love my ramshorns. Nerites are also cool. You can get super tiny sponge filters that might work in there and super tiny heater if needed.
    I'm sorry the front turned into the back 😂

    As someone that has aquariums: yeaaaaaaaaah, those plants are gonna grow, man, BUT if you grow the same plants in a tank for long enough, they will eventually dwarf themselves 😊 You don't even need to keep the lid closed, my Tiny Tank doesn't have its lid fully closed either.
    Instead of ramshorns I recommend the teeny tiny pond snails that often piggyback into our tanks on plants and which I absolutely adore for their tiny size 🥰🥰🥰 I also have the horrible practice of not always covering the dirt in my tanks, that way any detritus just blends in perfectly.

    How many times should you replace the water? The front is actually pretty good. Very cinematic and theatrical framing and staging. You just need someone else in the front to complement the plant and stone.

      I'm going to replace it 2 -3 times completely and after that maybe once every few weeks but only half of the water. I could maybe add a small piece of wood in the front?

    Amazing! Sorry if you've already answered, but do you ever open the jar? And how often do you add water?

      At the start yes because there aren't plants to produce oxygen. Now I only open it to film once every few weeks. I haven't added any water since day 1
