@@tinygrimMy cousin may not have been killed by that IED he drove over in Iraq, he survived but is now missing a leg. But I don’t know if anyone would describe him as “stronger” post incident.
As someone who breeds amphipods professionally, I have to say that some of them are quite hardy. Most of them are quite good at thriving in areas with low oxygen content. Definitely fun to look at and great for aquarium and pond life. I can ship them world wide with travel times of up to 14 days without issues, so you might have packed them wrong.
it’s also a scale thing: they’re huge and need so many nutrients compared to the true microrganisms. also like…. the sheer varieties of ways a thing can be sensitive vs resilient. the ones in my aquaria are more sensitive to copper, but more tolerant to temperature and oxygen shifts
Oh! Here in ireland when we find a well with little sea monkey things like prawns in it we say it must be very clean water cos they only live in very clean water. This may be wrong now that you've said this!! Yikes!
@@PadraigpNo, likely is still true, especially when it’s a proper well! No copper, metals, or substantial toxins, and coming from a well means stagnant water, which they can survive more than fish on average, is much less likely. For the dangers well waters tend to face, they’re a good indicator
I've been breeding freshwater studs for a few years now. I had no idea how sensitive they were. Helps me feel a bit better about any lost colonies I've had
We used to find them in well water and everyone said its a good sign that the water is very pure and good. And it was good water. They were like little sea monkeys very tiny little guys that went more up and down than side to side in the bottle. I always thought it was a good thing cos old people usually know things. They also said if licen grows well it means the air is very good and the air was good around there and not much cars and lots of hanging lichen off the trees. In winter they nearly looked like a full on tree growing on the bare branches. 😳
Living 5 minutes from the Baltic Sea, I’m quite sure I have seen Scuds in the shallow water on the beach. They do ‘hop’ a lot. Local name Tangloppe meaning seaweed Flea.
In germany we have a freshwater version of them which are called "stream-flea-crabs" or rather crabbies as we use the more cutesy word for crabs for them (bach-floh-krebschen). They are really cute and i really like them and loved catching them as a kid. They are very sensitive as well and can only live in extremely clean water. So if you see them jumping around in some river or stream you can be sure it's very clean.
I agree, I find it vaguely funny myself, but then I realized that they’re probably being cooked to death by the microscope light underneath the slide… and it’s still vaguely funny.
@@QPRTokyo this has proved to be incredibly untrue as the last 30 years of people have aged. You don't get more conservative and hateful as you age by default.

I love the way microbes floated around these amphipods. Normally so difficult to see without a microscope, I can't help but imagine what life would look like if microbes were as visible to us as they must be to these crustaceans. Entire clouds and halos surrounded these guys, and I'm sure it is the same with us humans. Very beautiful imagery here, as always!
I’ve never even thought of microbes being endangered! What kind of an effect would an extinct microbe have on an environment? With them being the absolute bottom of the food chain, it would probably change things drastically. I would like to learn more about this.
In case they don't reply, Andrew Huang did custom music for them, he's got a channel they link in the description and has released his own music, some of which likely are akin to what you desire.
@@RJFerretthank you, I checked his channel before hoping he had a playlist or something but sadly not. That track has really good Jake Chudnow VSauce type sound which is nice
I'm pushing 80. My consciousness is as high as is going to get. Is there a version of micro cosmos for old people who want to know the science without the preaching? I did my bit for the planet by choosing not to have children, though for women of my generation that choice made me a villain, and shucks, the population doubled anyway... I'm comforted by knowing that genetically speaking humans have lost so much diversity we're already extinct. So the earth will survive us, too; probably not the expansion of the surface of the sun.😅

Makes me think of the adage: "Whatever doesn't kill you... doesn't kill you."
Yeah, because it doesn't always make you stronger...I know that.

Seeing the way they so fervently move their legs, but stay in the same place because they have a cover slip over them is kinda funny to me 😭

Scuds are amazing! Great fish food for your aquarium.
They keep nibbling on my sea star >:-(
My grandpa's the same way.
You will be the same when or if you reach the age of grandfather.
Crustacean??

This tiny crustacean is still a Titan compared to the teeny tiny little swimmers around it!
Floaters in the eye? Excellent analogy.
Thanks for the awesome content and all the amazing videos!!
Shipwrecks and tree-falls. Trees are occasionally washed out to sea by rivers after heavy storms, mudslides and such.
And OG surfboards.
@@kngofbngtree falls are the og surfboards
Hanks voice is incredibly soothing!
Watching this in 2160p is bonkers. Soo much detail
Try looking at ur screen under a microscope…
@@goodluck5642wait, these aren't shrimp!
Oh wow! I live in Southeastern New Mexico and have seen the ones mentioned in the video!
I'm a tiny crustacean?!
Yes, yes you are and you will continue to be until you decide not to be. Apologies to all who read that
THIS IS A LIVING CRYSTAL ZOOM IN IT BECOMES STILL AND HARD AS GLASS IN THIS REAL REALITY. U R SIMULATED
Fantastic video!
1:28 I'm sorry but I can't unsee that face in the iridescent bit of color there.
*sigh* I needed you guys today
The acid shrimp is so pretty.
This is indeed a square space
Indeed it is! 😆
Yayy hopping shirmp!
Someone please explain the wiggling of the feet. Wouldn't it be a needles expenditure of energy? What's the purpose?
I believe it filters oxygenated water into the gills. I'm not an Amphipod expert though, so I could be wrong 😅
You are correct,@datgecko6330
@@datgecko6330 I thought they were having nightmares, but you're probably right.
I've love to see an electronic microscope view of these crustaceans.
1:58 it's also hard to tell what's going on when it's smashed flat
I remember eating these things as a child
Micro journeys into the microcosmos >_>
That's just cool ❤
So beautiful :)
At 5:15 when he mentions Gamarids, all I can think is Gamarids are friends to children.
Freshwater amphipods appear from time to time in my fish tanks. At about 50 seconds in there are three ovoid obects on-screen. Are they egg cysts?
Conservative crustaceans! 😂
I’ve never even thought of microbes being endangered! What kind of an effect would an extinct microbe have on an environment? With them being the absolute bottom of the food chain, it would probably change things drastically. I would like to learn more about this.
5:02 What are those tiny things around it. Is this one dead?
What is the title of the track starting at 4:00?
In case they don't reply, Andrew Huang did custom music for them, he's got a channel they link in the description and has released his own music, some of which likely are akin to what you desire.

Something that lives in the water that evolved to eat wood is such a strange paradox.
I recently tried out the tardigrade trap and i manged to fine 6 tardigrades in one drop (completely unrelated to this vid)
Could you please tell me what microscope you are using?
These Tiny Crustaceans and I have a lot in common.
Same.
Sie sind mesmerizing!❤
Lawn shrimp!
It’s a scud! ❤ 🎉😂
"You see a hopping shrimp!" Me: 😃
"It's not actually a shrimp" Me: 😑 How am I meant to trust anything these days, man?
"These guys are really hairy and their hair's name is ziti", like, I thought this was science, not the Sopranos...
Hank, how many channels do you have???
* reads title * same tbh
Always fascinating🔬🦠
Time for crab!
I feed copepods/amphipods to my mandarin goby
What's mico plastic look like?
Can someone reccomend me please some big high quality atlas on these water microorganisms? Especially for Europe?
i know you are all about finding micro life but could you look for micro-plastics in bottled water?
I turned around, and the Subscribe button was RIGHT BEHIND ME
I saw alot of faces in those close ups 😮
Necer thought I'd be relating to a crustacean
damn never knew Gamefreak employees were that tiny
Sand flea?
Me too crustacean
Oh
👍
I like crustaceans
I think most of us Don’t like change. Of course I’m not speaking for everyone. So I get it 😂
Ahh another being to identify with ❤
You could say they're a little crabby.
Just like me fr fr
Maybe... I am a tiny crustacean after all?
Nurgle's god of rot enjoyers
Thought about ammonia spike in the tank? Scuds are pretty hardy when it comes to stuff like that compared to say vertebrates
Finally found my spirit animal.
Dag nab it
