Creating a Woodland Stream Ecosphere (With PARASITE!)
Вставка

- This is a video of me creating a woodland stream ecosphere. I really look forward to seeing how this ecosystem progresses.
For substrate I used gravel from the stream, which contains organisms. I also used larger stones and sticks from the stream.
I was quite surprised to find an ecto-parasite growing on the chitin of the amphipods after building this ecosphere. I have collected amphipods from this stream several times over the years, but have never encountered anything like this before.
The ecto-parasite turned out to be a colonial Vorticella. Thank you to my subscribers for the ID. I refer to it as a parasite as it's stealing food from the amphipods mouth without giving anything in return.
EDIT: Yes I did release the larvae when they emerged. I found multiple winged insects on the lid of the jar over a period of months, which I released.
U inspired me. Thanks!
What is Zoothamnium
I put humans inside a giant gar with stuff in it but the humans keep trying to break out what should I do?
@Aiden Harjo A Gar is a Plant-Eater, it doesn’t consume Meat.
Enthro Passive Agressive PlainSmugCommentaryMachine I said humans not gar
My wife saw me watching this and rolled her eyes because she knows I'm going jar shopping today:) Great content.
lol
S B trying to😁
*Please dont actually drink it with parasite*
@S B its just a lil dirt lmao

Then taste the water inside.
@@xotic9290 did you stomp on the kid?
The parasite @ 6:20 could be “colonial Vorticella.” I collect fairy shrimp, and have dealt with these before. They aren’t a huge issue until they infest the crustacean, making moving/eating difficult.
I've seen them on fairy shrimp too! Where are you collecting fairy shrimp? I'm in the northwest US.
@@Matt_Hill I’m in Georgia- although I haven’t found any wild fairy shrimp (I purchase them online) I have found 3 wild species of Clam Shrimp out here! Still looking :)
@@tristan_sparks Cool! There are several species of fairy shrimp down there. There's a really weird one, Eubranchipus stegosus, in Worth county.
@@Matt_Hill guess I know where I’m going this spring! Haha thank you very much!
I'm not entirely sure what they are talking about but I can tell its wholesome.
Can't wait to see this one in 10 years
If we can make it
Ramzil about to say the same thing
Spritzz - See you at the afterlife when this man will be uploading there!
Humans will start coming out from it in 10 years
Dissolved oxygen demands dictate this will be dead within a couple months... Taking swift water species and jamming them into a jar is kind of crap unless you just want to see what they do at the extremes of livability...
Flowing water, and the accompanying high oxygen content, is an important aspect for organisms that live in streams. As soon as the water turns stagnant, a whole different set of flora and fauna gain control of the environment. Pond floor ecosystems work better because they don’t change very much in the jar. But stream ecospheres will all eventually turn into pond ecosystems.
What I thought, too ;) it will be more of a stagnant pond in a rocky surrounding.
So what ur saying is the creatures are gonna have to evolve to a whole different ecosystem and might make new and unknown species/.
Because there use to moving water how do u think the animals and plants will evolve
@@brendenpannell3110 They will die probably, I did the exact same ecospehere years ago, it also contained a cadisfly larvae, wich died a few days later, the clear water with the carefully arranged woodstream elements soon turned into a murky dark insanely nasty smelling 'soup' I may call it.
@@denisaussprung7287 thx

You’ve got me inspired!
Same here 👍🏼

Same XD
I started saving all my poop in empty Gatorade bottles because of your videos!
I like these ecospheres because they allow the small organisms within to return to a primordial age, before vertebrates ruled.
It truly simulates how life was in those early eons, while on a smaller scale and not completely accurate. It’s the closest we can get.
All those insect larvae and nymphs are in for a real disappointment.
They ain’t gonna be flying real soon
How did they get in there? We’re they put in in the beginning or after?
OneShot Gaming eggs were pry on the plants and rocks
gckbowers411 I usually open it specifically to let the adult flies out
@@oneshotgaming3961 the eggs were probably laid on the rocks or in the water
“This time on “Will it Jar?”
Lets talk about that
ahahaha underrated comment!
*that* is the question
Man, I was super pissed off when I clicked on this video, but now I feel so peaceful.
Nice pfp
i’m gonna start making these every time I go somewhere interesting. a great way to remember the scene
like think about it you could have hundreds of different ecosystems in one room. beaches, jungles, deserts, all types of stuff. if anyone has any tips for me please let me know?! :)
dead meme very true, id probably use separate rooms or maybe heating pads under the ones that need more heat.
dead meme basking lights may work as well
Lmao, different temperatures had me thinking you would be getting one ecosphere from somewhere like Mexico and another from Alaska 😂 definitely couldn't handle the same room
Alexandria Baker definitely not 😂
This kind of video will keep me sane during these year

I love how only on UA-cam I can be a part of someone else's hobby I would've otherwise never learned anything about (or even know existed). I dont know why this was recommended to me, but I'm glad it was. It's so fascinating!
In 10 years when you future people get this in your recommended randomly out of no where remember me :(
I will

I literally have no interest in doing this but watching you do it brings me at peace for some reason.

Hold my JAR
lmao!
Imagine if all life on earth stops, then one of these jars cracks and releases the remaining life in the jar, that would be a good sci-fi show lol.
Hmm your onto something, like over time it creates a second cambrian explosion and life starts all over sorta thing
A few weeks later...
Parasite: why am i still here? Just to suffer.
It’s amazing how the passion of one person for something they love is enough to inspire millions to try it, too! Because of this video, one year later, I’m going to build an ecosphere. And, I’m going to share the idea with others!
did you end up building it?
What if the world ends and there are no more humans left and these terrariums are the only thing that's left and they continue to thrive
*jar explodes*
*earth restarts*
Just kidding thats very very highly unlikely
Dorian Waite unlikely but possible
@@Default012 yeah definitely. Anything is possible. I considered that as soon as that jar exploded then every variable that each of those organisms depended on would suddenly vanish. It would work if conditions were right.
Life inside the terrarium must find a way for space fly and shields. One litle bug can survive now in space.
Next World end @ 2036 ? ⌛

I tried making an ecosphere a couple years ago. It failed hard and I have no clue why.. I love watching these even if I'm not good at making them.
You really make me want to try this with my local river! Wow!
Definitely one of the best looking I have seen, maybe it’s the lighting? I can’t wait to see what it looks like in the future.
Thanks for stopping by. A 5 Month update being uploaded tonight! Stay tuned
Your videos are very interesting. The music and watching the ecosystems really calm my anxiety. It’s been tough at school but right before going to sleep, I like watching your videos because it calms me down. Thank you. Keep the great work!
Cool stuff. Its almost as if nature doesn't even know its in an enclosed system......but continues to operate as normal! 😜👍
Just like us in the universe
Just like you😜
@@H8UAtropos07 but i know....lol
Oh jeremy.....
@Walter cept for the occasional meteors
I stumbled upon your channel on accident and it's soothing. I live in Florida so this kind of stuff is right around the corner for me. Thinking of making one of my own.
So cool man. I’m not an ecosphere guy, but as someone schooled in biology I find this enthralling.
What a wonderful pastime!
I found caddis fly larvae with a piece of bamboo-like grass for it's home
We are almost like this life inna jar

Wait a Minute, I seen u before but where._.
Loved the video. This is something new for me and thank you for introducing it to me. Keep it coming..
hey Jartopia thank you so much for making these vids and sharing them, it just looks like a other planet all in a jar, thanks!
Like the formatting of your videos. Really cool Jarrarium. Keep making videos man.
Thank you, so much more planned for the future! :)
Will it not be a problem for the ecoosystem that the water in the woodland stream is flowing water as opposed to being stagnant water in a jar?
A lot of streams will have pockets of stagnant/slow rotating water along their banks. These are usually full of life. This likely shows off those species more than the ones found mid stream
As long as there is life in the water, it’s never stagnant
I am sure he will piss in the jar twice a day to simulate the flowing stream water.
@@justin79811 those dumb fly nymphs deserve piss water
@@manmoy4104 That's a messed up thing to say...
I love doing this when I was a child! Brings me a lot of memories. Now I'm going to do it again! Thank you, UA-cam algorithm.
Mayfly nymphs look like sea scorpions
Did you collect any of these organisms specifically or did they just appear from the collection process?
My theory these were eggs or very small micro organism lived in those stones or water
Yeah in the video it says he added substrate which most likely already had organisms naturally in it. So they just appeared
@@seifixnetwork4663 I think you mean hypothesis not theory, but I think you're correct.
@@phoenixflame6048 They both work the same in that sentence though.
They spawned
I just want to ask some questions about ecosphere,
1. is the bottle be okay if i move it?
2. will it need light 24/7?
Stain could you put it near a window ?
@@sethcarini7207 Yeah. Really just try to recreate it's natural setting. So you can put something like this in a medium to high light window and let the sun do all of the work.
And remember, these aren't some exotic cave plant, if you got it in the wild then they're surviving great by themselves so just bottle it up and let it be
@Riccardo Spottl If you find a slightly shaded place then it should be all good
Play Earth simulation and you can switch on earthquakes or try to add oxygen to make all biger.
👍 I like to see mine ants making rocket to break out...
I love the music in your videos, its always very calming! And many thanks for the great(as usual) content!
This is peace and happiness in a bottle. I can't wait to start creating my own terrariums.
how does this guy just know what everything is??
That's what studying provides
he's just passionate (:
It's a hobby that he loves.
He's an intellectual
Okay, what's gonna happen to the nymphs and larvae when they metamorphose into their terrestrial forms?
Hunter King this is what I thought too, maybe he releases them after the vid
They will probably drown or never transform
Stone fly nymphs can remain in the larval stage for up to 4 years.
@@NickMorgan256 so the larvae wouldn t be able to reproduce themselves if they can t become adults
They will probably die if he let them out
This is genuinely one of the coolest channels on UA-cam, I could watch these all day and not get bored
This video got recommended for me very randomly but I like it lol
Why is this the best yt Chanel
I want commentary so I dont have to look at the screen the whole time...
*because why not?*
This is super coool, I love your channel.. Here in my country the Caddisfly larvae have a really different casing made out of sand..
I really enjoy your videos, they are so interesting!
I have just stumbled in this fantastic Chanel I would have never known such a channel existed, just amazing to see from a stream you gather some soil a few pebbles and then you have a prawn 🍤 sandwich nearly absolutely brilliant so interesting. Love it
So interesting, it's like playing god to a bunch of lower species.
"Lower species" in what way are they a lower species?
@Ryan Lee So, in other words, because they're different compared to humans. And they do feel sadness, you've obviously never seen an animal in your life to say they don't feel sadness. At least other species aren't destroying earth for green paper.
@Ryan Lee What does wanting to become a water insect have to do with _anything_ here?
@Slime Hank So i sound dumb for not believing that animals are a 'lesser species' because they don't do the things humanity does?
@Ryan Lee "Destroyed your post" doesn't even make sense, but i won't continue. (In other words i don't care what you say, there is no such thing as a lesser species. Just because they aren't like us doesn't mean they're a 'lesser species, they all evolved differently and just don't need the things we do.)
in 50 years he's gonna be recording the amphipod revolution over the bryozoans
I never knew about these jar ecosystems, I've been binging these videos from evening, these are so interestingg!!!
Well i know what i,ll be making over the weekend. Iv never even heard of this before. So simple and interesting.
Wonderful presentation ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you! I'm trying my best to improve my content with each video. I really appreciate your support! :D
Jartopia it’s my pleasure to watch all these miracles that can happen with much knowledge and a little of magic ❤️❤️❤️
How long do you keep these bottles sealed for? I’m wondering about the various fly nymphs, seems like eventually they’ll need to be let free when they mature.
You don't open them.
@Walter well, i guess they become one with mother nature again, eh? A life in a bottle, literally.
S E F I I yes thank you someone finally said it
S E F I I ikr
@S E F I I , I never thought about it like that, wow.
Fantastic 👍 so inspirational. Thank you for sharing
You sir, are my new hero.
I will be making a paludarium ASAP.
I'm so fn excited!!!
Man I just found these, they're possibly the only YT videos I will sit through the entire thing and not skip anything good job! With the nymph, since it's contained, would it just die before reaching maturity or does something else happen?
Omg so relatable xD
I was wondering that too
What if...
The earth is an Ecosphere.
and we are tiny bacteria living in a jar.
And when we probe mars and outside our solar system we go "welp, nothin to see here, better turn around and head back into the jar" :)
That would be one big ass jar
The earth totally is on a petrie dish... Or however you spell it
I’ve always felt we are all just working portions of a cell, contained within a universe that in reality is just our cell wall. We look at mitochondria and DNA and admire its complexity, why can’t we be that for some greater organism?
Well...our planet is pretty much exactly that...an ecosphere with us roaming it like any insect or parasite inside a jar. 😅
I love all ur videos, but this is by far the most calming 1 out of them all,
I never really knew you could do something like this I love your ecosphere videos though it's awesome
hope you consulted the residents prior to rotating their jar.
can't be watching sphere dictator content, I ain't about that.
Okay maybe I am.
I’m sure their used to it as they lived in a river and all
You should make a mosquito fish terrarium tank
this is beautiful. Well done.
My god! You tube vid of the year! What a great vid👍
Why is this s***t so relaxing and interesting to watch?!?!?
Not gonna lie i really wanna try this, this is amazing:D
Me too. I'm a bit paranoid though about the jar eventually opening. Perhaps from some form of eventual gas build up in the jar or something.
One of these opening up or getting knocked off your shelf would SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK
These videos are super chill

Beautiful. I love these.
Just came across the channel and I love it already. My usual hiking trail crosses a stream twice; once very high up the stream, and then again just as it pours into the river. Next time I go for a hike, I might bring along a jar and give this a whirl, haha
Subscribed for more 👍
Myself: ugh I cant stand parasites! So glad I dont know about any of the ones in me
Wow, very nice, so there were eggs of all those animals in the soil you took from the stream?? How long did it take before it showed?
Ya I was wondering do I gotta catch a bunch of bugs to throw in or will they somehow hatch idk
Wow this was so peaceful to watch
The footage a lone is mesmerizing but that soundtrack . . . wow. It could put a cup of coffee to sleep.
Not Heroin tho
Jowo - LMAO. Yeah, heroin is a tad bit stronger than coffee (only by a little) which is why it wouldn't work. Still a great song though!
These are great videos. Instantly hooked. Can you tell me which music you used for this one?
its Eureka - Huma-Huma
Do you add the amphipods or did they hatch in the substrate?
This was the question I was about to post.
I want to know this aswell
Great video, I think ur channel is very unique! Keep up the great work!
Awesome! I thought it was a complicated NASA recipe. But it's actually logic combined with the magic of nature.
It's amazing how well nature works.
I think I'm going to try it out on my own, too.
Thank you for this wonderful sharing.
Interesting it!
In ten years a viewer watches this video. He is at a rundown outpost, with meagerly sustained tech hardware. This is after the great nuclear war of 2029, and its resulting fallout. The corona virus is still a problem and continues to evolve quickly, so all survivors live quarantined in old underground bunkers to escape the hordes of infected which roam the above-ground wasteland. With access to videos like these, a group of hopeful persons, plan the underground biospheres where communities may gather subterranially to sustain life for future generations. I hope youve enjoyed my wild imagination.
