Ephesians 6:10-18 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints. The bible is no old book. You have to really let Christ open your eyes; to see the world in shambles. Many people say it's a religion to lock up people in chains, and say it's a rule book.. why? Because people hate hearing the truth, it hurts their flesh, it's hurts their pride, it's exposes on what things have they done..people love this world so much, s*x, money, power, women, supercars.. things of this world. Still trying to find something that can fill that emptiness in your heart. You can't find that in this world.. only in Christ, the bible is no chains, it's a chainbreaker. Breaking your sins into pieces... Repent now, and turn back to the true Lord only.. God bless.❤

Props for HomemadeEcosystems for living for 200million years just to make this video
Yeah the middle ages were rough ...
Haha I love this comment 😂 and how were the Middle Ages then?
@@HomemadeEcosystemsHow we’re the 2 world wars?
@@HomemadeEcosystemsHow was the bronze age like?
Bro y’all should be asking him how was the mass extinction he lived through 💀
I just feel bad for all the 8 year olds in the world who tried to grow these. And I'm impressed how you worked that plastic bag into the tank, I can hardly tell it's there.
🤣
I did it successfully over 30 years ago.
following the kit as instructed would have been fine, the additive packet contained all the food the triops needed, it was the water change in this video that killed them off as it remove the food source
@@TheHarleyEvans I added more after the water change. According to what I've read online I had to add waaay to much of the stuff. Also they need a bit of minerals to mold which the manual doesn't mention
I did this when I was 10, I followed the manual, and hatched them (first time aswell) and they grew to adulthood
I saw someone on youtube automate this process by having a desert terrarium but he made it rain every 90 days or whatever the timeframe was to make the cycle complete. A pool formed every time allowing the eggs to hatch and them to lay new eggs. pretty cool.
Yes that was dr plants! That was an insane build he did!
hi@@HomemadeEcosystems
Love how he struggled to get into the actual postage packaging, and then used a knife to cut through the thinnest layer of plastic. Genius.
Pro tip: Keep two aquariums. One that you can leave to dry up and refill for new young, and one that you can move the adults into to avoid them dying.
Very good tip CapitanDCap!
It should be useful for others!
But its a lot of work maybe he doesn’t want to do that
Or you know, just use a spoon and scoop the eggs outs? 😂
@@RabroFan The eggs are invisible when they are in or on the substrate.
@@RabroFanthey are smaller than some grains of sand. There are ways to filter them out of the sand but its time consuming. Better to wait for this lifecycle to complete and start again.
They only live up to 3 months. Usually less, rarely more.
I think he struggles to open the box to get longer view times but is actually super proficent at opening boxes.
I wish that was true
Personally I think less for longer views and more a ruse to make people like me think 'oh, well if that bumbling fool can do it then so can I' 🤣the truth I would think of course is the man has a wealth of knowledge and experience doing this but is hilariously funny with it👍
It's called SUSPENSE Hello!
@@JD-gn1oy we know HELLO 🤣
Opening boxes: struggles. Animated titles: masterful.
I started to grow triops several years ago. After reading the package instructions for hatching, it wadn't for me. The instructions are so precise. My thought was anything that has lived for 200 million can't be that pucky about their environment. Thank you for your pstience in this endevpur.
Good video, subbed.
I remember doing Triops when I was a kid and-miraculously-it actually worked. I presume this was because my parents did all the actual work while I just ogled through the plastic looking at them. That said, I don't think I gave them quite such luxurious living conditions, we just used the generic plastic tub and a bit of sand like they say in the instructions.
Suffice to say, I was horrified when I found out about the cannibalism. One day I had 5-6 swimming around and then I blinked and there was only one left-one huge, fat monster of a Triop who was too full from his brothers and sisters to move beyond a saunter. We named him Homer because he was so fat, and he lived a glorious life of complete isolation until he died of natural causes at the ripe old age of around 2 months old.
Welcome! It is crazy you got one to adulthood in one of those plastic tubs!
Bro existed and simply decided to slaughter his neighbours. Christ.
hi@@HomemadeEcosystems
Dude you are the master of delivering dry humor in a dry unenthusiastic voice while still being entertaining, funny, and educational at the same time, major props bro I'm def going to try to get a kit like this for my kids....uh p.s. 4 minutes Into the vid I still feel the same about your amazing sense of humor and how great the quality time would be with my kids making one of these BUT def not gonna let them watch this clip cuz i ain't explaining the herps joke to 13 an younger children's but for myself...lmao
Lol, yeah maybe not the best videos for young children 🤣
He dead inside… like Bob
Hey, you managed to keep one alive!! I tried raising these guys myself and failed! As someone who loves animals, that killed me. Did some research and learned they're very hard to keep alive. Congrats on your new little triops friend! ❤
I failed too.
Technically, you killed that.
If it killed you, how did you type this comment?
I remember getting these as a kid and it came with food and water conditioner. It advertised that they'd live up to 14 days so i was pretty happy when they made it more than a week. The sellers learned the true lesson in making happy customers- lowered expectations.
Actually very easy if you know how… I’ve had a lot of failures, but my next attempt will be successful 😊
Just discovered your channel and I'd be remiss if I didn't tell you that your dry sense of humor and videos in general have significantly brightened my mood. I'm not someone who laughs very easily but I've been consistently laughing at your jokes and having a shockingly good time tagging along for all of your experiments. I'm honestly astonished you don't have a larger following by now; it's clear you put a lot of work into these videos and there's never a moment watching them where I'm not fascinated, entertained and excited to see what happens next. I think success is inevitable for someone like you and you have a very clear talent for educating people and making them laugh. It's a really great combo and one that reminds me a lot of zefrank's "True Facts" series in all the best ways. Super excited to see more from you!
Thank you for the kind words! Glad you like it
hi@@HomemadeEcosystems
@@HomemadeEcosystemsI’m a new sub plus I luv science animals and ecosystems
I love this channel. Your narration is awesome. Your delivery of dry humor is so spot on. Thanks for a good time.......we need more people like you! ❤
This was my presentation, Thank you!
To help me keep making bad videos: patreon.com/Homemade_ecoystems
U never makes bad video
@@demonboydemonboy3467 agree
predict: I rised a 300 million years fossil (fairy shrimp)
Make a video about a spider
@@demonboydemonboy3467 my previous video is about a spider
The close up of the sand was exceptional, thank you.
Glad I found this channel today. You’ve got great humor and these videos are very refreshing to watch. Interesting stuff!
Love your sense of humour, mate. Much love for Canada 🫶🌈
Love the content bro, I remember failing triops as a kid but finally getting it down. Crayfish are really fun to watch and handle. Could be another video opportunity for ya. Keep it up buddy.
It is going on the list! Thanks!
@@HomemadeEcosystemsdo you speak french ? I'm Belgian too
@@SON-jp9fm I speak a little bit of french but my mother language is Dutch
@@HomemadeEcosystems ah ok, btw love your content bro 👌
Waouh you speak French it's so 🅒🅞🅞🅛 👍👍👍
Nice editing It's really fun. Also, thanks for the mandatory close up of sand. Best part of the video.
youre so hilarious. i love the casual tone in your voice recordings. feels very natural and raw. great video!! learned how not to kill triops.
Your dead-pan delivery is so funny. And you can always "Start over" with any eggs left in the aquarium when the parent dies of old age, if you want.
I love how this has humor and education in the same vid😂
if you want to do more stuff like this i highly recommend arizona fairy shrimp they have all of the micro organisms needed for food already in the things they send out plush you get more for less money
I saw similar organisms - shield shrimp - in water on the top of Uluru (Ayers Rock) Australia it was amazing to think their little eggs had been rolling around in the dust for decades waiting for rain! And they'd been doing this for hundreds of millions of years ❤
I tried to hatch these guys for months. I’m glad you attempted and succeeded. Gives me faith to try again.
Triops: We evolved to perfection through 200million years. We survived all mass extinction, WE ARE UNSTOPPABLE!
HomemadeEcosystem: The manual gave me this "Tank".
There goes evolution
Lol your content randomly come up on my CZcams feed and I’m so glad it did. I love our humour! Very entertaining and also informative. Definitely made my day. Much needed. Thank you
I raised these a few times myself, but only one ever survived. Interesting you had the same experience. Great content, you're an inspiration. Subscribed!
Welcome!
@@HomemadeEcosystemshi
Great work! I love the humor and watching the journey of these triops grow
I’m not joking you are the best terrarium an ecosystem CZcamsr out there ❤❤
Thank you !!
hi@@HomemadeEcosystems
Your videos are great, I find them informative and stimulating. Your humour is appreciated 😂
You are totally great opening the boxes🙂
Your videos are an absolute delight, thank you very much for uploading!
I love all your videos. Keep being you...
I happened upon your channel when it appeared in my feed. I never would have searched for your channel cuz it's off topic for me but I'm tempted to sign up just because you're freaking funny.
This is an awesome (and funny, and educational) way to end a really stressful day. Thank you! 💜
Edit: RIP Bob.
Why did I laugh at "because it rocks"?
I hate myself
I hate myself for making that joke
Your voice, jokes and filming skills are top notch. Thank you. :)
Your enthusiasm is contagious. I am so stoked right now and I clicked the like button as soon as you asked. Unfortunately I will never try anything to do with aquariums again but I just ate an egg.
Amazing they survived for ages when it is so hard to keep them alive .I like your videos , they are very funny .
Informative and entertaining video, I loved the fun fact at the end there 🤣 These guys are like freshwater shrimps, I believe the kits say to use distilled water because the additives they give you probably contain the correct amount of calcium and other minerals they need to grow and properly molt. Tap water varies in these minerals, some places have hard water with a lot of minerals and other places have soft water with very little minerals. So starting with distilled water gives everyone the same base to then add the packet of additives to. Calcium & magnesium are most important for animals with shells - snails, shrimps, crawfish, etc.
This video had me cracking up way too much for showing off living fossils. Fantastic work my guy!
Hiya 🌞, l just love your dry humour! "" laid up " at present so get to " binge watch" your ""hard work"! ( what real man ever reads the manual for anything!😅)Keep safe, well and content! And posting these for me (& my grandees!) Best wishes, J.I.M.K Mrs. Brisbane, Australia 🇦🇺 ♥ 😊
I left a like for all your hard work. This video was an emotional roller coaster of tragedy and triumph.
I i remember correctly the eggs don't always need to dry out, i think there are different type of eggs and when conditions are getting rough they make special eggs with a thicker shell that can dry up and survive for a long time after the pool drys up
0:00 “ struggling to open a box” BRO YOU ARE KILLING IT
Great effort, great patience, great work😍👌🏼
Having Triops has been my biggest dream as a child ❤️ so happy I could participate now
I am a big fan of prehistoric life, and watching this makes my day
2:32
“Because that’s a nice piece of wood 😅”
Great video.
Some years ago i had a lot of them ...still have two big ones perfectly conservated in a jar with spiritus.(alcohol)
Hey long time no see!!! i’ve seen the channel grow throughout the years and the content get better!!! thanks for showing all types of animals and arthropods.
i’ll check up later to see your progress!!
His humour is amazing😂
Relaxing video! Thank you for posting it!
Man I love your low-key humor. Keep it up man! :)
What Manuel says goes for millions of years. Yea Manuel keep up the great work.
Bro, I really love your content, but the humor, the humor my friend, is the cherry on the top of the cake! Keep up with these videos, I'm having a blast bingewatching them!
It’s so cute how at 7:24 the triop looks angry
That was dope I almost wanna get a few of these and see about trying to grow them. They look like cool little dudes.
A fabulous video .Great filming .Bob is quite amazing .. You too as you make me laugh :-)
Thank you!
@@HomemadeEcosystems This is a great presentation...Impressive & inspirational :-)
hi@@HomemadeEcosystems
Imagine waking up 200 million years later just to be stored inside a jar for at least 1.1M to view interesting
Thanks for the close up of the sand ❤
So good!!! The narration!!! 💯
I actually remember having one of these when I was little. It's probably the weirdest pet I've ever had.
Did you know that to hatch all the eggs u need to put them in water then fish out hatched triops then take the rest of the eggs and dehydrate them then put them in water again and repeat the process until all of them hatch? Thats cuz the eggs have a system that prevents them from hatching all at once cuz in the nature the pools dont last long and if they all hatched in one pool and the pool would dry out then they would all die leaving no eggs behind
Yea I have heard that ! It is a pretty great survival strategy that they have
@@albertjr7928damn that was deep
Amazing video about Bigfeet, learned so much!
Fascinating. Thanks for posting.
I did this when I was like 7 and I thought I was a mad scientist.
But it said you had to be 8-
Left a like for Bob. He was such a good fella. Bob will be missed.
This channel is a gem, because you sir have diamond commentary.
Truly amazing creatures, have seen these many times in the mud puddles of the Australien outback. Where temperatures can hit 45C and the ground gets even hotter. But sure when ever some rain comes by they just spawn like out of thin air.
I've binge watch a lot of your videos and I can tell that you really care for these animals in general. Best part is to see the irony of your dry humor in a wet enviroment.
Oh no, Bob! But we'd spent so much time bonding with him too
I miss Bob.
We all do ! 🫡
Same :(
SAne😢
😢
This is so informative! Great job, fantastic reporting!🌻🌼🐝 Keep it up 🙌
You're amazing, glad I found this channel through this video!
You make the best “bad” videos
Great comment🤣🤣👍
That was awesome, your very own trilobite ancestor😲 RIP Bob and siblings, after their untimely demise I'm wondering if it was an asteroid responsible for the extinction of the dinosaurs or you've got a time machine and popped back 'to try and help'? 🤣🤣only joking that really was amazing(see, you're actually quite clever!!) catch you in the next one and take care✌️
🤣 shhhh don't tell everyone my secret
@@HomemadeEcosystems 🤭✌️
First time here, am impressed. Can’t leave but had to subscribe and go through the entire channel’s videos. Thanks for what you to here
Welcome!
This is the first video I have seen of you but I instantly subscribed and liked! I follow a lot of aquarium channels but you are definitely the best bro. Keep it up. You're so F'ing funny. Echt heel goed
Thanks! Welkom !
Echt heel goed he zuig even ze linker ball
The joke is on you, one of these days you're going to call for Bob and the 3,483 creatures you've named Bob are going to stampede and ruin your house.
😂That is going to be a wild day
In other news, Triops are strangely terrifying and I feel like they're going to haunt my nightmares for the next few days. Thanks a lot.
@@MikeCornwall you are very welcome 🤣 No for real I was surprised as well of how weird they actually are
Really cool. I've never gotten them to live😊
I think I did for a few days lol
Dude I love your commentary keep up the good work
honestly the funniest commentary ive heard on youtube..... BRILLIANT
Damn, this video was an emotional roller-coaster. Rest in Power Bob ✊
He lived like a champ, gone guns blazing in his attempt to show that plant who is the boss!
I really love your videos and im thinking about studying biology. Would you recommend it?
I loved studying it but depending on where you live it is not an easy field to get a good job in. Especially if you want an ecology / wildlife related job. But if you love it you should go for it !
My biology field would be something with genetics. The alternative would be becoming a doctor, second choice but way more money. Idk, but thanks for your response :)@@HomemadeEcosystems
Really cool and fun to watch!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Your humor is superb!
Thank you patrons. Without your support the channel would die faster than a triop.
Very true!
200 million years old? It should run as a US politician.
Well done! I can see that this must have taken a long time to create this video. You are really funny. Thanks for making this.
It indeed took a long time to make this one!
I found these growing the storm drain across the road from our farm when I was a kid, freaky looking prehistoric things & they would also just eat the stomachs out of the live tadpoles (but these tadpoles were just as big & slighty bigger than these things) & when they finish eating they discard the rest of the tadpole.
So chuck some tadpoles in there to feed him, he might grow even bigger.
I'm interested to see how long he will live for if the water doesn't dry up & has plenty of food, keep up the awesome videos 👍
nice more vids
thank you for the heart
Rip bob 5:54
my guys dry ass, unemotional voice with that perfect, hilarious humour is a perfect combo❤❤❤
Very cool video, like the humor. Keep up the good work man lol
Can we as a global community work on creating giant versions of these. We all breed the largest ones then send eggs from the largest ones to eachother and breed them to get even larger ones!
You are the reason the plot of Jurassic Park exists
@@OblivionZX 🤣
I only ever had goldfish as aquatic pets. 🙄 I got one as a present on my first communion (I was 7). It died when I was 14.
...
I never questioned that until a couple of years ago.
My parents swapped it out for another one when it died, right? Without me knowing? Can they live up to 7 yrs or older? 🤔😶😬
*Questioning my entire life now.
Great video. :) Cute triops. 😍
Also: I thoroughly enjoy your incredibly dry way of commenting and your sense of humor. You made me snort multiple times. I appreciate that. 😂 Thank you. 🖤
Goldfish can live pretty long! I think even up to 10-12 years so might have been the same 😂
I had a small chick. Apparently it died at night and the morning I woke, I couldn’t find it so I kept asking: Where is it?
My parents told me it went to visit his parents.
I lost my trust in humanity afterwards.
You are hilarious. I cannot stop laughing when I watch your videos. Thank you so much! 😂🎉😊
Keep going with the jokes and the entertaining video's, love them both...😁
