    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.

    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.

    Just stumbled upon the channel and love the videos. Relaxing and entertaining.
    I am wondering tho, how does one change the water in a jar like that? You cant just tip the jar or everything will come falling out... 😅

      With a plastic tube, put one end in the jar suck on the other end, get a mouth full of dirty water, spit it out, and the water should flow 🤣
