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!
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.
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..
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.
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!
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
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
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!
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.
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 !
@@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.

become very expensive if you do not have cuttings...like the most of us. tks for the video.
These are inexpensive plants. Thank you
It was lovely to see the journey/ process and the outcome. Thank you!
Thanks
This is not just low budget aquarium... We learn deep science here...
Glad you found the video informative. Thanks

Nice one
I've one with 3 crayfishes and some fishes,
Are they mini crayfish or shrimp?
@@charlottesmom crayfish
So pleasant. Love from Bangladesh

temp is the key to keep it cool
Nice video, quick advice, don’t plant the hydrocotyle in the substrate and instead put it on a rock. They do better as epiphytes
really loved this video, can you make more like this
Thanks. I will try
wow! wery beautiful!!! amazing!!!
Thank you
Wow! Very informative video. I'm your new subscriber.

So nice water garden but how to make Biggnar plant lover please explain sir very nice video👌👌👌
This is a beginner setup
@@TheUrbanNemophilist ok
How many shrimps you have ? And can they breed ?
2 pairs. One of them already carrying eggs so lets hope for the best
Make a easy aquarium next ❤
This is easy
Wow, nitate 20! Your compost is very well. What is the rate in the 2nd month?
This is the second month reading
❤❤❤ great 👍👍👍
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.
❤
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.
great
Thanks
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
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.
What kind of light have you used here ??

Can this work with organic vermicompost which we get in packed packets?
Should work. Give it a go
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
Sagitarria will take over the tank 🥲
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
any recommendations on websites or places I can use to get a) sand and b) these aquatic plants?

Sand from Amazon. Aquatic plants from aquascaping stores in your city. There are several online stores as well.
Its work without CO2 ?
Plzzz reply
Yes
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
what lighting did u use for the jar?
Under full spectrum lighting on my shelves
Can I use any types of plants ?
Only aquatic species that can grow submerged
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

Can we get these plants online?if so which site
what's the maximum number of shrimps you can have in there?
Depends on how much you feed them.
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.
Where do you get the aquatic plants?
Aquarium stores
can we have such eco system aquarium setup with fishes and without the filters ?
Yes

River sand. Yes
@@TheUrbanNemophilist thank you
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.
Kool!
What is the water capacity & price of this jar ?
As mentioned in the video.
Bro can you sell it
What you feed to your shrimps?
Already covered in the video
What about heaters in such setups?
You will need one if temperatures drop to levels that your livestock cannot tolerate.
@@TheUrbanNemophilist damn, a compact one is difficult to find locally. But, thank you for your response.
why to buy jars if we can get a good flat glass tank nearly half the price of jar ?
Dunno where you are getting a tank for the cost of a jar.
Can I keep betta fish ?
No too small
nice video but complicated process
Quite simple actually
Where can we get these plants
Aquarium stores
Can u make in cube tank

What's the water temparature?
24 degree C
Kann rs auch Chinchilla sand sein danke für Antwort ❤😊
Use coarse river sand
can i know what temperature in that tank ?
About 23-24 degree C in present conditions
@@TheUrbanNemophilist i see. that why your plant look so healthy.. mine is 30 . so hard to maintain plants
When i tried this, the leaves of the plants became soft and later died with a bad odour.

What are your water parameters?
What light were you using?
Fuer artemien
Are you Indian ❤
