Ostracods are amazing microscopic crustaceans.

I would like to add that the shells of these little friends are studied as they are slightly different from species to species. In geological layers they give important indications on changes in the quantity of water in the past. The most important collection of ostracod shells in the world is located in the Natural History Museum of Geneva.
"Somewhere between the range of teeny and tiny" Ok I'm subscribed now 😂
5:48 About the drought resistance of their eggs, I started up my brine and fairy shrimp colonies lately, and I believe both 7 (few fairy shrimp species) and 9 (brine shrimp) years old dry stored eggs hatched just fine, and they contained some ostracods too, although the hatch rates of ostracod eggs were already greatly reduced. The small species I've yet to bother identifying but the largest one is some species of Chlamydotheca I think:)
My first introduction to vorticella and stentor came from an old DOS game Lightspeed. I was happy to find your videos (via Water Jet Channel) and videos including those critters. Keep up the good work, and welcome back!
Very interesting, and thanks!
Been learning about the different arthropod groups, and this was really helpful for seeing what ostracods look like.
Thank you 🙏
Awesome video man, thank you👍
Hello! Really helpful video, please can you share the references that you refered...I'm doing a project around ostracods it might help. Thank you!
I think you should name your new parakeet Ostracod
Haha mom I feel like you say this every episode
This is a Great Video!
Some myxomycetes might be a cool topic for a video, they look so interesting and you can point out how they look a lot like fungi/mushrooms but are amebas.
It’s definitely on my list of things to film! I might get to it in another month or two
I have a massive one in my tank and it keeps swarming plants, what to do?
Edit:It just laid eggs oh crap
hello friend, I am ostracoda breeder and I am interrested to have more species. Whould you have any to offer me?
Most easily found in a bog or slough.
I wish this had more views😢 luv the vids tho 😊
Seed shrimp are shooting mad ropes
Where did you find them? Where do they hang out? Never new these things live around us!
I found them in two places this past month. One sample was from a dirty boat marina in Bear Lake, Utah. The other was from the Jordan River in Utah. Both samples had a little bit of algae, leaves and mud. They could’ve been attached to any of this. They can hang out in pretty much any body of water.
I found ostracods in a flooded foundation, I don't know how they got there, most likely birds brought them there. They are orange and quite large, about 2-3 mm. And this is very strange, but they do not eat vegetables and fruits, but only meat and boiled eggs.
