Thank you for watching! I hope you enjoyed the video. Did you notice I had a new microphone? Hope the sound is better now!
if you want to try this yourself there are some links in the description for materials or you can also use old food storage jars like a pickle jar f.e.
Now your depressing voice is high quality! (It's a joke)
I have a jar at home I may only be 9 but I'm very very exited to make one do you think I should?
We can hear your excited tone in high definition! ^_^
@@seek..... yes!
Great new mic!! 🤘🤘💚
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 😂
Yeah I was thinking about adding shrimps but I think it is a little small even for them! Might make a bigger version of this for shrimps
@@HomemadeEcosystemshow can it possibly be too small for a neocaridina shrimp? Their bioload is next to nothing...
@@HomemadeEcosystems Reply to this man, my god
Thank you very much for the close-up of the dirt, I appreciate it. I love your sense of humour
You are welcome!
Same
Add a duck to it
Got it, I'll go find one!
@@HomemadeEcosystems fr?
a single duck maybe lonely, maybe 2 ducks?
@@animalbliss3713 agreed
@@animalbliss3713 Nah we need a hippo
Careful with anubias, its really meant to be attached to a rock with its roots exposed in the water instead of planted
Thank you! I already took it out of the soil so its roots are exposed
@@HomemadeEcosystems these little anubias are really cute! :)
0:40 thank you so much for this wonderful close up. I have been needing it my whole life without even knowing 😔
you are very welcome!
Expected moss, got dirt. Your videos always surprise. 👍
All my friends have jobs and I’m at home putting dirt in a jar and playing with woodlice
😂you have the better life imo
Same except my job is at a pet store so I'm at work putting dirt in jars and playing with woodlice and then I go home and do the exact same thing 🤣
Same but with whatever I can get my hands on
Aquariums ecospheres are really hard, I’ve tried before and had trouble with soil leaching like you said. Seems like you added a nice layer of sand though so that should help. Hope this turns out well!
indeed! I hope it works too. At least I will learn a lot from it and I can make the next one better!
Finally an aquarium tutorial on my level. Thanks Homemade Ecosystems
Yeah if I can do it, anyone can do it!
Nah I’d screw it up putting the sand in.
Most underrated channel in the whole existence of the world, will definitely consider subbing to your patreon.
Thank you !! and don't worry, only do that if you have too much money (not a lot of people have that 😅). You already help me a lot by watching and commenting on my videos!
Cute little Rmas Horn snails (red for color contrast) and freshwater fairy shrimp would be perfect. The entire cute package for a tiny aquarium. :)
Thank you!
I have so much time on my hands, I'll definitely do this soon. If I do, just know it's thanks to your videos! Love your humor and the tempo of these videos. Good stuff :D
Awesome, let me know if you do!
Honestly, your humor makes your channel prolly the best ecosystem one out there lmao
Thanks man!
"You need a jar to make an aquarium in a jar" - That was so dumb and it made me laugh more than I'd like to admit. Soo good.
I laughed out loud alone in my room at the "it rocks" joke. You've earned a like from me, sir.
you'r videos absolutely make my day, always!! U have humor in these, but not too much, still staying in the point. LOVING IT SO FAR!!! KEEP IT UP!!! :DDD
Glad you like it!
1:10 the forbidden mustard
Bladder snails are really cool too. Maybe use them?
Great idea!
Out of all the vivarium/mini ecosystem yt channels on here, you're the best because you have a fantastic sense of humor with an extremely monotonous voice. It's amazing.
Glad you like ir!
@@HomemadeEcosystems Man, you made me smile when I was having an anxiety attack. Thank you for that.
@@MaxKarmaCatmuch love and blessings sweet
soul..❤
Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.
Joshua 1:9 KJV

@@sabinefanger827 Telling someone who has anxiety to not be afraid is incredibly unhelpful. Also, I'm an atheist. I appreciate the intention but uh- No fucking thank you.
@@MaxKarmaCat no problem, you will soon remember my well-intentioned words...!
The good news is that God loves you too, and he wants to save you too before he starts his judgment on earth...!
As I can see from your profile, you deal with pure poison for your soul..
no wonder you have anxiety, Through such things Satan takes possession of you with his demons..
you can read all this in the holy word of the bible..
And believe me, I also go through some difficult things..this is our test on earth..but since God's Holy Spirit lives in/with me - i am a new person..I have also experienced many miracles with Jesus..♡
I should have been dead several times already.."BUT GOD" !
Well, maybe I'm still alive to deliver his message of love to you of all people...
just think about it..!! ♡
What I don't understand at all: how can you describe yourself as an ateis
and watch his creation right here on this channel?!?
no matter, many will only wake up when the antichrist takes over the world....!
I will be picked up by Jesus at any moment..then my life really begins.. no more tears and pain..transformed like Jesus..!!!
Rapture - Harpazo - going Home!
HalleluYah..

I love your sense of humour
We'd get along fine. Your humour is a lot like mine, subtle and a bit dry😅. A few beer in and I bet it would be a jolly good laugh fest😂! Thanks for the decent video, sound was great.
Glad you liked it ! 😅
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.
I already have trouble not creating tanks in every glass vase I meet, I am now facing large difficulty not making a new tank in a lidded jar 😂
Awesome, thank you for the tips!!
You should add a golioth grouper it would fit perfectly
Definitely would fit!
I appreciate your dry sense of humor, great channel!
Thank you!
Sweet video, sweet humor, and basically i am lately getting interested in paludarium stuff.
Thank you!
So I went to a beach one time (ikr, shocking)
I wanted to make a little seashore in a bottle, so I took an empty smartwater bottle and put some sand in then added shells.
A few years later, when I actually start letting sunlight into my room, a small little aquatic plant is now growing in the bottle. I’ve named him Suprise.
That is the awesome part about terrariums, they can always surprise you!
You could also add some tiny shrimp like fairy shrimp and live brine shrimp
Yo ty
0:36 first time in my 20 years of life that I’ve seen someone clean dirt and samd
Absolutely love your humor! If you do a big enough jar, you could house a few cherry shrimp in there as well. I would wait at least a month or two before adding snails or shrimp, but this looks awesome! I've been wanting to do a closed ecosphere aquarium for a while, just don't have a big enough jar. So far it's all terrariums.
Yes I'm definitly going to wait at least a month. Do you think this one is big enough for a shrimp or two?
@@HomemadeEcosystems It's a little tight, but a couple of shrimp would do okay, the only thing is the they might want a hiding place or two, you could add one of those tiny shrimp caves. Keep an eye on them for the first few days after adding them just in case they seem stressed. But shrimp have a very low bio load, so a shrimp or two should not overload the jar, even with a ramshorn roommate.
@@ForestOfEmeralds thanks for the info, i'm going to start with snails and if they do well I might add a some shrimps. Or I will just do a bigger jar for shrimps.
@@HomemadeEcosystems Of course, I'm glad I could help. If you do a bigger jar for shrimp and film it, I look forward to the video ☺️
You may have to keep it in check because you've added quite a lot of dirt for such a small aquarium, but it is a great looking aquarium :)
The plants are probably elodea and echinodorus.
Thank you!! Yes I will probably have to be carefull for algea blooms because if the dirt releases too much nutrients. I added a lot of sand too so I'm hoping that will slow down the release of nutrients. If too much algea grow, snails might be a solution
@@HomemadeEcosystems That sounds great. 😊
Some water changes in the beginning will probably also help. But you got the very fast growing elodea so this plant will take a lot of the nutrients anyway
I made this mistake recently and was rewarded with stinky anaerobic bacteria
You are an absolute RIOT and my new fave channel! I can't wait to try some of your builds!!
Thank you!!
Thanks for the close up on the dirt.
Another awesome video. Great to see that patreon list growing too, fully deserved.
Thank you!! You paved the way for new patrons the first one is always the hardest so thanks again for that!
WWaayy too much enthusiasm tone it down a little
Yes I'm sorry, will tone it down in next video
😂
Liked for commentary alone!
I never knew i needed a washed dirt close up but whew
i'm doing the same but in an extra large brandy glass. once it all settles i will add some shrimp i think
Ahh I never considered CLEANING my dirt before eating it, that sounds amazing. Thank you.
2:45 - liked the video
That stone really does rock!!
I personally don't care about the topic at all but i like the dude that makes the videos so imma keep watching them
I love your humor and the jar came out great
Most underrated content on UA-cam
Thank you!
A new jar! Yay
I made a jar terrarium last week
It stinks :)
A water jar?
I am probably late but keep up the humour please!!!
It really makes my day!
enjoying your voice and content you're welcome
The stuff on the roots is rock wool
The back is the new front
“Whoo”
Thumbnail goes hard
"I guess the back is the new front" 😂🤣
Fantastic video!!
Thank you!
I love your sense of humour 😄 and I love the way you give ideas such as the stick 😂, oh and your lucky girlfriend 😉 😆 🤣
The front looks good though, it gives space for viewing the inhabitants.
Add snails. Also add cricket jam to your mouth.
Wow great video! You are a great! Inspiration (I’m going to make one)
Inspiration to make ecosystems
Awesome, good luck!
if you want animals on the jar. try putting brine shimps they breed fast low bioload. they are active swimmers too
Brine shrimps need salt water so that won't work unfortunately
@@HomemadeEcosystems Oh yeah thanks for reminding me lol i forgot
U got epic commentary dude ur hilarious keep em coming
I love your commentary. It's so dry, in contrast to your jar aquarium! XD
Lol🤣
Most underrated UA-cam channel, awesome!
thank you so much!
Please show us, if your plan with the snails works out!
Thank you for inspiring me
Honest man real stuff nice fish we will all die I have no idea what I am saying please make a mini forest inside a jar
🤣
Bros cleaning dirt💀
Man, your videos are awersome. And very fun
Thanks!
I love your content keep it up ps:thanks for the close up of the dirt reall needed that 😀
Good video. Now add a Wolf ❤❤
Thank you ! Hmm don't think a wolf would survive in a water jar, will put him in one of my terrariums
Dude, I need to sleep. But I'm loving your videos.
Glad you like them!
I always loved playing with Sea Monkeys but never had much of a cool tank to display them. Maybe that would be a cool project!
Yeah I will probably do that, I've been thinking about getting some!
Yes 100% please add the snail. And keep up the good content :)
i'll try ! 😅
Love your videos! So interesting!
And funny...lol!
Thank you!
Dude this is one of the funniest things I've seen in years 😂 oh and the abundance of that's what she said. Got in at least 4! That's not what she said :(
🤣
A duck? Ha ur funny! I like it!
The plant on the left is Egeria dansa and the one on the middle is another Anubia variety. (I'm another nerdy biologist).
Thank you!! Another biologist saves the day!
Pretty funny. I like the episode. I just discovered your channel. I'm watching.
Glad you liked it!
this woke me up at 3 in the morning. i regret nothing, this was really cool
👏👏👏👏👏
Wow, thank you for giving up sleep to watch my video 😅
He is so funny 😂
1:54
They said "which plant"
I said "green water plant"
And they said "Which green water plant?"
Then I said "Normal green water plant"
They said "Which normal green water plant? There are so many of them"
Then I said "The one he used in the video"
They said "Who used what in which video?"
I said 's
I love this channel release more vids
If you made a jar big enough and air tight enough, i wonder if you could get the atmospheric oxygen in the jar to a higher percent and be able to see the bugs grow bigger as a result
Would be cool
The 2 other plants are Anacharis (the tall and skinny one should grow well) and what looks like anubias or Homalomena I could be wrong (which can't be in the dirt)
Thanks!
Have you considered selling your terrariums and things? They turn out so pretty and so varied that you'd probably make a killing! ❤
Thanks! And yes I have thought about it but it is nog easy sending these things and keeping them alive especially because most od my viewers are from America and I am from Europe😁
@HomemadeEcosystems >>>
*_"I'm adding this stone -- because -- it rocks."_*
*_"I'm sorry for that."_*
No you're not...🤭
Anubias nana should not have it's roots buried in substrate. If you do not remove it from the sand, the roots will rot and it will die rather quickly. I recommend reading up on any aquarium plant you purchase prior to using it in an aquarium so you don't make this mistake and waste your money.
Good luck!
I already put it on a rock 2 weeks ago 😁thanks for the tip!!
But where is the sharck😂😅
Very nice
you could put some tiny tiny fish in there
I love these videos
I made a terrarium out of a candle jar, then put cling film over it as a roof. Its about 5cm across and 8cm high. Yes, i did add moss
cool! good that you gave moss
@@HomemadeEcosystems Moss is the bane of life
@@HomemadeEcosystems could you possibly give me your discord link?
@@lunggd discord.gg/wAdwtyf5RG here you go!
1:52 Second one is a some kind of anubias, and the third one is a canadian waterweed.
Yes it is definitly some kind of Elodea. You think I have 2 Anubias species? That is possible, thank you!
@@HomemadeEcosystems My first thought was that the big one might be a brazil sword (peace lilly). If it is, it will want its bigger leaves out of the water. You can tell the difference by checking the base: if it has a rhizome and looks like its growing its leaves in sequence, its an anubias; if all the leaves and roots are coming out from around the base, its a brazil sword.
The nature guy is back at it again 😂
yes I am 😅
You could try adding a dragon fly larvae
Than I would also have to add other things like waterfleas for food
Okay going to try.
Make a hour long vid please as a time lapse of a ecosystem
that other green plant is pondweed
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 🤣
Can u make it in a bottle syrup ?
I subscribed just based on your commentary
Welcome!
This was excellent as usual!
Thank you!
i would for sure pull the anubias at least a little bit. the anubias are epiphyte plants who have a rhizome where all of the roots and leaves come out of. if the plant is buried too much in the substrate it can rot and the plant will die. most people who do aquariums just glue them to rocks with cyanoacrylate glue which is aquarium safe and dries into an inert plastic. just a little tip for you, i would hate to see you have a plant die that you spent money on. best of luck to you though my man loving the videos
Thank you for the tip I will do that!
Keep up the good work @homemade ecosystems
I will!
@@HomemadeEcosystems if you had no fan's I would be ded
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?
