This channel is very interesting. I've watched some of your videos and I'd love to see more! Are you planning on getting a different lens for your camera to get better close-up shots? It would be amazing to get a better view of the smallest things in your jars.
good idea on the rock. at first i thought it was just for aquascaping the jar environment but now i see the benefit for it to be a surface for algae to grow on as well
I’m doing a bit of an experiment similar to this, but, with striped crickets and house crickets in 10 gallon tanks with medium. So far, they’re surviving, and very lively. They’re also cannibalistic, but, tend to leave each other alone with enough food. My theory right now, is they’ll grow up, mate, and deposit eggs into the medium. As time progresses, there’ll be more overlap in generations. And, a point where adult and baby crickets are a constant in the tanks. Something that I hope will resemble cockroach colonies.
have u considered making an ecosystem based on the Walstad method? it kinda made my brine shrimp 'tank' last pretty much indefinitely. add a deep sandbed and the natural biological filter should make sure to prevent any crashes in the culture.
Why haven't you tried adding any marimo moss balls or other simple salt-tolerant algae to the community? A single snail wouldn't be a bad idea. Just grabbing water from the aquarium store's planted tanks will add a bunch of other small life forms to this ecosystem that might help preserve it over the long term. Brine shrimp themselves are generally pretty hearty, but it seems like you're missing some real opportunities here. Of course, thinking like mine _could_ be the reason that so many brine shrimp ecosystems fail. BUT! one thing your tank is lacking that will kill things off long-term is a calcium source. It's going to take long enough for those shells to break down on their own that successive generations of shrimp may gobble up most of the free calcium in the tank. I don't have a good suggestion for a source, alas, as using seashell or other easily available sources could lead to PH problems, but it's something you'll want to look into.
The brine shrimp aren't making the water flow upwards - that's just physics, hot air rises and cold air sinks; well it's the same for water. If the water is being heated (or having heat energy, such as that which comes from the sun or conduction of heat from the surroundings into the jar), then that would cause a section of water to rise and another to fall. We just don't see the section that's falling here
I saw many more small shrimp in my tank yesterday, I just they were from eggs that didn't hatch yet, but I've had my tank for 4 weeks then. maybe my females laid eggs?
yooo someone else making a brine shrimp aquarium rn? wassup lol, also i use black gravel in my brine shrimp tank but im planning on swapping it out for a sand subtrate soon;)
Do brine shrimp live without oxygen? I do not have an oxygen pump. Is there an alternative to oxygen to ensure the reproduction and death of brine shrimp?
It would be awesome to make ecospheres by tieing a rope to jars and let it sink to the bottom of a river. Then pulling it out in the hope there will be something in the jar 😁
The brine shrimp are kind of cute looking in a way
Absolutely!
Aww! I love the little larvae swimming around with their antennae. Absolutely fantastic, you funky little crustaceans.
_water moves_
Life in jars: "the shrimp are creating a water current."
Me: " *T H E R M O D Y N A M I C S* "
Watching a video on brine shrimp.. UA-cam suggests a shrimp scampi recipe.. No UA-cam
Wrong shrimp.

Do a video where you put some mud in a jar full of chlorinated tap water. Would be interesting to see if any life appears.
Definitely. Animal life though, I'm not so sure.
@@randompheidoleminor3011 Life finds a way
Chlorinated tap water Isn't strong enough to kill everything, so something will probably appear eventually.
This pleases me very much
That pleases me
Imagine if the brine shrimp thought you were god.
The first few generations thought he was Satan. Or Thanos.
The tiny sea people love him...especially the Semen😑
That would make this South Park
ghazt master no just a nasty big man who experiments on you..
@@isaacsrandomvideos667 so... basically God?
Wow - your channel has introduced me to a new interest that I didn't even know I had!
Always love to see a video uploaded LIJ. Keep up the great work. It's some fascinating stuff
Thank you very much!

I think you mean free food
not funny
didnt laugh
how is this supposed to be even a little bit funny
Rockzilla1122 It makes even less sense when you realise Brine Shrimp are perfectly fine with eating their dead friends.
I started my own ecosphere after watching some of your videos. I hope you keep up the good videos and keep making ecospheres.

This is a Great Educated video of Nature , ecosystems in a jar. Love it. I actually learn from this video.
Those shrimp are alien-like...! They're really neat to look at how they swim around 👍
I love brine shrimp. The males little beards(/antlers depending on how your looking) they use to wrestle with are my favourite about them.
epic content as usual :)
Thanks!

I like the part with the shrimp
Hihi
They look so cute! I want to make one like this but I don’t have enough room because of all my other terrariums and ecospheres. :(
I am facing the same problem
Is the Ecosphere still thriving? Any chance of an upcoming update soon? :)
Yes I will update soon
This is pretty cool! Shrimp like that can have a tendency to die off in mass so it will be interesting t see this in the future.
Good job man
Thanks
Its not all dead bodies, brine shrimp molt as they grow and a individual can live over 8 months
Fantastic !!!! I want to create a similar ecosphere with brine shrimps. Thx! Liked and Subscribed.
I love your voice when you say "slowmo"😍😍
Best ecosphere making channel
Thank you!
Amazing!!! Love your videos
Very interested to see how this one lasts. What scale do you think you would have to build one to maintain a stable population of cherry shrimp?
Not even that big, but a little bigger than this one. I think
I'm so happy for this update!
Gay!
I mean yay!
They look beautiful!
Thanks Descato!

I tried so many brine shrimp ecospheres. None of them survived. All died in a matter of a week to 3 weeks.
Too bad. Any new projects after a year?
@@floodkevin4716 that sounds like your mocking
@@Esskroe that's on you, I was genuinely curious because I have them too? Not entirely sure why you're commenting that... NOW I'm mocking.
Aw, look at all the brine babies.

There is no filtering system they are so small they would get caught in the filters🐸
Getting your wiggle on
Is this still thriving? I'd love to have one that lasts! I've got eggs waiting for the perfect home.
That's really great!
Yeah!
That rock appears to be a gneiss, which is a relatively high grade metamorphic rock.
Yay, algae
Exactly my thoughts
Love This!!
Great!
Idea:
Make another fresh water one, but add a teaspoon of sugar.
Another idea:
Make a soup and add brine shrimp.
Stumpfization or just eat some non kosher pickles lol

Please give us another update! :)
Does anyone know if java moss can be kept in these brine conditions?
I saw many more small shrimp in my tank yesterday, I just they were from eggs that didn't hatch yet, but I've had my tank for 4 weeks then.
maybe my females laid eggs?
What's the time life on these little shrimps 🍤
Hell yeah mating time
I loved "sea monkey's" when i was a kid
I want to make my own, please provide us the conditions to make it
Fuck it ima make an ecosphere for the summer
4:37 shrapnel or shrimpnel?
I always wondered, why are they called brine shrimps? They are not shrimps, are they?
Also, congrats on the patreon!
They are related. Thank you it was quite a big step!
@@LifeinJars Oh ok that makes sense.
I smell a eco sphere giveaway
I don't
@@LifeinJars😂😂
Can you make a other saltwaterecosfair with a crab ore Something
Another one?
@life_in_jars? I don't know If you had make bevor maybe one that's why "a other"
Maybe a book would help you.
Do a crossover with Nordic ants
I'm always up for collaborations
That would be pretty cool
any thoughts on adding salt water plants along with substrate?
Your life in jar videos are the best and are very soothing you would try making an ant farm 👀
Thank you! I already started an ant colony, but it's still a little small
What is the background track to this otherwise wonderful video???
Is it okay to put some sort substrate on the bottom?
yooo someone else making a brine shrimp aquarium rn? wassup lol, also i use black gravel in my brine shrimp tank but im planning on swapping it out for a sand subtrate soon;)
Im early for the first time in ages lol
Certainly! Congrats!
Hi! Does anyone know the track used for background music? Thanks!!!
All and Sundry by Jesse Gallagher
Wow they are doing really well, I am gob smacked, is that a new english phrase for you? :)
Nope
i love the content, but I was wondering if you could tell me the name of the songs you used for background music?
All & Sundry by Jesse Gallagher
I think u could make working jar with triops that reproduce?
when is the next update on the Brine shrimp? is the ecosystem still alive?
really love youre content
Coming soon!
What do you feed them?
Do you know if you can feed them regular fish food and smash it into small particles?
the fun part of a enclosed ecosystem is that it works alone
Do you have a davina ecosphere and were do you find your davina
So, I always get told from people who hatch brine shrimp that you gotta keep the water moving CONSTANTLY to get these to hatch. How do you do it?
By the use of air stone but not absolutely needed. Look up brine shrimp hatching dish. No air stone or heater or light for that one
Sea monkeys!!
Are they the same as sea monkeys?
What they eat?
They have stage fright
Imagine being a baby brine shrimp and dying 3 hours after floating in a big jar lol
Do brine shrimp live without oxygen? I do not have an oxygen pump. Is there an alternative to oxygen to ensure the reproduction and death of brine shrimp?
You look in the comments because this is what I was actually trying to show you
Can you raise edible shrimps
Are you a dutchie too? Recognizing the accent :p
It would be awesome to make ecospheres by tieing a rope to jars and let it sink to the bottom of a river. Then pulling it out in the hope there will be something in the jar 😁
That would be awesome. Or diving
ecospheres from tropical water
any updates ?
Get a colony of bulldog ants
What do u use to film these videos with?
And they still haven't built one little castle or asked to be your friend, have they?
No! :(
Planing on feeding to fish?
Where can i get those algaes ?
Am I the only one who thinks they look like anomalocaris?
Hey life in jars what would you name this Ecospnere
Ehhhh....
Wife: Are you watching Porn
Me: No, Im watching Brine Shrimp mating... wait... Yes
Do algea randomly grows?
Algae spores are in the air pretty much everywhere on earth. If the water is not sterile, it can start to grow algae.
🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐
Sea Monkeys
Ben benieuwd hoeveel nederlandse kijkers je hebt...
Best wel wat
Whoa the first few seconds kinda sounds like lil nas - old town road
ever tried toilet water?^^ ;)
First
Indeed
These look like anomalocarids
You caught the Sea Monkey craze too late. It ended decades ago
Artemia still exist and are still cool 😎
Chinese pepole be like: yum yum
We prefer 🐈🐾
