      Jesus Christ saved my life he can save yours to. No body is perfect except Jesus Christ. So he was the perfect sacrifice for the world and he became that sacrifice. So that we can be perfect in God’s eyes all we need to do is. Repent from our sinful wicked ways and surrender our life’s to him. Jesus Christ. Repent meaning acknowledge and forsake your sins. Know you have sinned and know you are not good in God’s eyes. Forsake meaning as in try your absolute best to not sin. We have to be clean and filled with the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ said we must be born again to enter The Kingdom of Heaven.
      God bless you all. I love you all may you all find Jesus Christ as your Lord Savior .

    I love the habitat you made for him. They indeed should have some surface area, but you can also keep them in a small water level. I managed to have two for a year. Water quality isn't really an important factor, althrough it's easier to observe them in a cleaner water. Sand is perfect for them. They love to hide in it.

    I have now done this, I have 2 jars so far and a heap of empties just waiting. Neither jar has fully cleared, but I have a feeling it may just be tannins in the water. I have plenty of critters, but the second jar also contained tadpoles, so I had to upend it into a shallow dish, find and retrieve the tadpoles and return them from whence they came (it's illegal to have tadpoles/frogs without a licence in Australia, and I don't think they would have managed very well in the jar). Now I just need better and better cameras and microscopes to document my critters.

    I took a chance and watched this video thinking it was just a regular boring ecosystem video. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and humor. You earned my sub!

    Even through the blur I instantly saw what it is. One of those things bit me in my foot when I was a kid, I can still vividly remember that pain lmao

    I’ve watched 38 seconds of this video. I already liked and subscribed. The second a youtuber flips me off for no reason they gain my respect

    You got my thumbs up about 30 seconds into the video while showing the jar size compared to your hand. Nice touch! I like your style. 😉
