When I was a kid, my aquarium was a jar like this with sand, stones and Vallisneria. I grew guppies and sometimes mollies in them. They even had babies. It wasn't pretty like yours, but I was happy with my pet fish. This brings back sweet memories. Very beautiful! Thanks for sharing! Good day!
@@paranaenselol I had them for 2 to 3 years in the jar, then transferred them to a big cement tank when we moved. The jar has to be very big. (1 foot tall and 1 foot diameter) I changed the water every 3 days. I had water plants.
This is a great option for kids, but also for seniors like myself who is on a budget. Honestly, no matter how much money one may , these are little gems, which would look stunning anywhere ! How cool would it be to have one in the office!? Proven to lower blood pressure, watching fish and things.
Thank you, this was so well done! my daughter wants an aquarium and I know they are more work that I want to manage right now. We also don’t have the space or money for a full setup. This is perfect to start with and see if eventually we really want to move up to a full size one :)
Why i like this channel: 1. Excellent design of terrarium and aquarium . 2. Extra ordinary video shooting with good lighting. 3. A pleasant mild background music. 4. Displaying plants name in making. 5. Voiceover while making 6. Reading and replying most of the comments in comment section.
Being an aquarium user of a 10 gallon tank i mostly found this mini piece of jar worthwhile if you don't need to run out of bucks on huge maintenance, This is cost effective idea💡 along with that you provided with beneficiary bacteria which is so essential for natural environment in a fish tank, also i suggest to make a video on how to form good bacteria in aquarium.
Insightful video! One thing I really appreciate is that you actually go in-depth on the science behind the aquarium, unlike many other youtubers who simply show the aquascape and dump the animals inside shortly. Beautiful jar!
I'm so glad you made a video on Walstad's low-tech ecosystem! All is right by the book, but at the same time, you did it in your own style. The only problem with it is substrate degradation over time, which can be omitted by letting mulm be at the bottom and slowly sift into the sand, creating nutrition for the plants. But be careful. Other hobbysts' experiments show that jars with smaller openings can actually interfere with the natural gas exchange processes enough to sufficate the ecosystem sooner
For those who didn't get result in shrimp jarrarium, here might be some mistakes you've done: 1) if your pH is soft, it may lead to shrimp deaths. Shrimps are aquatic creatures that prefer harder water (kH) and higher pH as mentioned in the video i have 7.9 pH and it works, if you have softer water considere adding crushed coral it works like a charm 2) let the jar cycle for a couple of weeks. The lesser the space the more hard it is to maintain 3) be wary of planaria, it is a detritivore like ostracods but kills shrimplets and poses a threat to shrimps, get rid of them if you see them. 4) do less water changes like 5% or 10% because shrimps prefer stable parameters, my local shrimp breeder doesnt do water changes at all...note because he has them in 20 gallons tanks, with tons of moss. The larger the ecosystem the safer it is and easy to maintain, here if they will be affected by smaller things more easily so stop overfeeding too. And regular testing would be better to ensure things are right. Overall this guy knows what he's doing 10/10
Wow. This is so cool... And how you showed all the tests using those kits. I wish I could build this without shrimp. Coz I will cry a lot if shrimp dies in it..
You are such an amazing person like a scientist ❤️ this is an water World 🌎.. lot of Green plant ☘️ spieces living under the sea.. God bless you brother...keep going.... I love Nature...
Yo he criado peces Betta durante un tiempo en algo similar y solo basta darles mucha atención, que consiste en: estar pendiente de su alimentación, iluminación y estar pendiente de limpiar el fondo del mini estanque y cambiarle agua con fresca cada sábado, pasado un tiempo tratar de meterlo en un recipiente con más litraje.
Jarrarium, ha! I got into aquascaping doing something similar (but far less beautiful) with a giant cheese balls container. Out of curiosity, do you propagate your own plants in a home nursery or do you typically purchase what you want for a given project as needed (excluding foraged plants from "backyard" builds, of course)? If you do indeed propagate your own, I'd love to see how you manage your non-moss nursery some day.
I purchase and quite often take cuttings from my guppy tubs and nano scapes. I mostly use easy low demand plants so I have to trim them frequently. I do propagate some plants in closed bins in their emerged state. Mostly the epiphytes.
@@TheUrbanNemophilist That makes sense, makes the maintenance mostly hands off except for trimming. I wondered because so many of them seem to take so well after planting with minimal melt; keeping them submerged probably helps there. Thanks for sharing!
Where can you find these exact plants, do they have to have roots when clipped and placed in different section? What all needs to be in ones water kit & how often should the water be tested? Last how often should the water be replaced and do you need to have a grow light or is a lamp sufficient? Thank you 🤗
I get my plants from a local aquarium store. These are common species and should be easily available anywhere locally as well as online. Aquatic plants can grow from cuttings. 30- 40 % Water change initially twice a week and later once a week and much later maybe twice a month when ecosystem is established. A full spectrum grow light is recommended.
any recommendations on websites or places I can use to get a) sand and b) these aquatic plants? I went to one pet shop in Gurgaon where I live, I have a fish tank with a couple discuses and some more fish, and this store handles and maintains a bunch of salt water systems as well. They were however not very helpful with regards to aquatic plants, and they are slightly overpriced I feel. Any help would be appreciated !
You can place a lid but there must be sufficient air column inside. Lid must not be airtight and should allow some air exchange. Without lid is fine with regular water changes.
@@TheUrbanNemophilist thanks for your reply, I’m from Bangladesh, here lots of varieties about soil, like sandy soil, aqua soil and etc. That’s why, I asked you about that and in the video I didn’t get the proper answer. Thanks.

Have a good relationship
Sir love for u. You deserve respect and more attention
👍
Good looking jar
Nice video, quick advice, don’t plant the hydrocotyle in the substrate and instead put it on a rock. They do better as epiphytes
原来可以这样，漂亮！😊
Thanks
持续的修剪会累死人
Oh wow very beautiful how many hours of lightning and what type of lightning did you use ❤ from Mauritius 🇲🇺
Thanks. 8 hours of lighting everyday. PAR rated led grow lights
So pleasant. Love from Bangladesh

Using RO water only
beautiful
Thanks
Wow pretty
Thanks
Such a good video!
Thank you for the appreciation
Wow, nitate 20! Your compost is very well. What is the rate in the 2nd month?
This is the second month reading
Wonderful.
Thanks
Great setup and info! One question though - what lighting did you use?
I use PAR rated led grow lights from Fluotronix
Can you share which grow lights you use? For Terrarium and for smaller aquarium and where to buy from.
Theres a video on lighting on the channel. Another detailed one coming soon.
Wow! Very informative video. I'm your new subscriber.

im looking to start a basic aquarium. for the sand, do you use sand from the beach or like sand from the river?😅
Any sand would work. Coarser the better.
Hi please make a video on two feet angel fish tank setup along with tank mates Your work is really amazing thats why i am asking you 🎉🎉🎉
Thanks. Is 2 feet big enough for Angels?
*Badiya bhai 🤩🤩🤩🤩*
Thanks
How many shrimps you have ? And can they breed ?
2 pairs. One of them already carrying eggs so lets hope for the best
Kool!
Make a easy aquarium next ❤
This is easy
great

Sand from Amazon. Aquatic plants from aquascaping stores in your city. There are several online stores as well.
wait... I ALSO HAVE THOSE ALGAE WAFERS ASWELL! You went to aqua garden petshop right? Nice video btw the aquarium was very nice
I bought it from Amazon. Thanks
Hi. can you advice on the lighting you use fr the jarrium? and where is the best place to keep the jar?
Under full spectrum artificial lighting
Should i keep the lid of my jar closed or open?
If kept open, won’t it be full of mosquito larvae?
You can place a lid but there must be sufficient air column inside. Lid must not be airtight and should allow some air exchange. Without lid is fine with regular water changes.
❤❤
please make a video on a small self-cleaning fishbowl aquatic ecosystem
ruclips.net/video/Ld5ZacQIs8A/видео.htmlsi=bKf-u_ugBD-zNWFh
how long did you let the jas set before you added the shrimps
Snails after a few days. Shrimps after a couple of weeks.
I wanted to ask after how many days did u add the shrimps (like after creating the planted jar )
Snail 2nd week, shrimp 4th week
Can this work with organic vermicompost which we get in packed packets?
Should work. Give it a go
can you kindly provide me the information about light hours? And also is it sandy soil??
8 hours photo period. Soil information in the video already
@@TheUrbanNemophilist thanks for your reply, I’m from Bangladesh, here lots of varieties about soil, like sandy soil, aqua soil and etc. That’s why, I asked you about that and in the video I didn’t get the proper answer.

@@mdmistakabir2795 its mentioned in the video at 0:19
1:36 can i use water directly from water or is it necessary to dechlorinate it first?
Dechlorination is necessary if tap water contains chlorine
What kind of light have you used here ??
Star Wars definitely coming soon #JarjarBinks
😀
become very expensive if you do not have cuttings...like the most of us. tks for the video.
These are inexpensive plants. Thank you
what lighting did u use for the jar?
Under full spectrum lighting on my shelves
Its work without CO2 ?
Plzzz reply
Yes
can we have such eco system aquarium setup with fishes and without the filters ?
Yes

Aquarium stores
❤
How to maintain that cleaning the jar?
Like this ruclips.net/video/TEYoygbZrok/видео.htmlsi=EiIhvUphr-U32ghE
What you feed to your shrimps?
Already covered in the video
Dont you need a filter to keep the water clean?
Walstad style setup. Read up on Diana Walstad aquarium setups on the internet.
Where do I get these plants if you can guide please?
I bought them at local aquarium stores. You could check stores near you or check online.
Bro can you sell it
what's the maximum number of shrimps you can have in there?
Depends on how much you feed them.
Where do you get the aquatic plants?
Aquarium stores
Can we get these plants online?if so which site
Bro from where you get plants? Plzz tell
Local aquarium stores
There no need of filter or oxygen supply for shrimp?
Not really needed for a Walstad style setup with regular water changes and testing.
What is the water capacity & price of this jar ?
As mentioned in the video.
Kann rs auch Chinchilla sand sein danke für Antwort ❤😊
Use coarse river sand
wht kind of sand is used here?? can i take sand from my local stream?
River sand. Yes
@@TheUrbanNemophilist thank you
What about heaters in such setups?
You will need one if temperatures drop to levels that your livestock cannot tolerate.
