Thanks for the video Great work I have been growing dwarf hair grass ina a bucket in my roof top It was kept in direct sunlight with dirt substrate It was full of alge Until I added some hornwort from my pond And after a few days alge started reducing plants started to thrive And I see this little things in my water running around I didn't know what it was and still i am not confident what it is But seeing this video It looks some thing like the seed shrimp If it is They are awesome Keep up the good work Your experimentation helps many people
Thank you for the question! I got all my water bugs from ponds of Central park, Manhattan NYC. Here is the video for more details: th-cam.com/video/mQb7cKeTKqA/w-d-xo.html PS: seed shrimps - don't confuse them with shrimps ;)
Thank you for the question! The temperature in my apartment is about 72-76 F all year around. It is comfortable temperature for guppies as well. Therefore, I don't use any additional heaters or coolers for them ;) You may want to check for more details my videos about aquarium fish care on this playlist: th-cam.com/video/5v6OelF1oeU/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for the question! There are type of Bryum and Hypnum moss among some other that I am not sure about their names yet. TH-cam user James Merryman th-cam.com/channels/4oKTP9X9KofziDr1psslMg.html Identified my Bryum moss as Silver Thread Moss (Bryum argenteum). I yet have to clarify the name and will make another video for it. The video about Hypnum moss is coming next Monday. I will make videos about other mosses that I try if they grow good underwater or show some interest for me. You will find details on each type of the moss in this playlist (I will add new videos as I make them): th-cam.com/video/QTc5RTr7Rq4/w-d-xo.html
Thank you! I got my seed shrimps from ponds of Central park NY. You are likely to find them in warm water of ponds, lakes and rivers. Check out my video for more details: th-cam.com/video/mQb7cKeTKqA/w-d-xo.html
I get them from local ponds. Here is a video about it: th-cam.com/video/mQb7cKeTKqA/w-d-xo.html Also, there are many more videos about seed shrimp on this playlist: th-cam.com/video/zhRN0yYsOs4/w-d-xo.html All the best on your adventure!
They can directly or indirectly. Also, algae - common green algae is what feeds on ammonia. Algae, tiny critters, and pants put together work great to prevent ammonia and other waste spikes in water. Though, it is best to prevent than treat.
Thank you for the question! It takes about 24 hours for chlorine to evaporate from top (regular) water. Keep the top water in an open jar over a night (24 hours) to dechlorinate it. Then it is safe to drink or use in aquariums ;)
This is terrible advice that will kill your fish. Most tap water is today treated with chloramines, which aren't volatile and don't just boil off. If you want to remove them you need either a de-chlorinator (that specifically mentions that it removes chloramines) or a filter rated for the job.
I live in NY. Drinkable tap water in New York is not treated with chloramines for public consumption. All aquariums shown in my videos filled with water dechlorinated as I described.
I have fresh water aquariums and familare only with freshwater seed shrimp. There are different strains of seed shrimp. I never managed to separate/ keep one individual shrimp to check on lifespan. My seed shrimp seems to live more than couple months for sure while growing up to couple millimeters. Suppose they may grow even larger, but my fish would it the large seed shrimp right away. All the best!
Thank you for the question: The temperature in my aquarium is about 72-76 F all year around. It is comfortable temperature for guppies. Therefore, they don't need additional heaters or coolers. The filtering is done by similar means as in nature. Algae, bacteria, little aquatic critters, plants - they all are part of it. You may want to check videos on this playlist for more details on my previous (I use filters before 2017) and present (from beginning of 2017) aquarium fish care: th-cam.com/video/5v6OelF1oeU/w-d-xo.html PS: I use algae scrubber HOG.5 in one of my aquariums. I consider it to be the best filter and more than filter.
It's done by automated heating/ cooling system. Thermometers are installed in each room to take measurements and turn on/off electrical heater or air conditioner in each room separately.
Love the little ecosystems you set up
I love them too! And the more I use them the more exited I am getting ;)
PS: I have more to share about natural aquarium ecosystems.
Looking forward to it
I finally caught a teeny tiny baby cyclops ( sooo cute 😍😍😍 )
Congrats! And all the best on your adventure!
@@4me :D thxx
Thanks for the video
Great work
I have been growing dwarf hair grass ina a bucket in my roof top

It was full of alge
Until I added some hornwort from my pond
And after a few days alge started reducing plants started to thrive

I didn't know what it was and still i am not confident what it is
But seeing this video
It looks some thing like the seed shrimp
If it is
They are awesome
Keep up the good work

Thank you for the question!

What species of land moss do you put in the containers.

Michael Langerman cheers great info 👍🏻only just found your channel! i'm liking it so far 🐠🐟🌱
Make a container pond....for guppies...pls do a tutorial
Ha! I actually have been thinking about this for while. Though, I think to make it more like a zen garden aquarium than a container pond :)
may i know where do you get the seed shrimps
I get them from local ponds. Here is a video about it: th-cam.com/video/mQb7cKeTKqA/w-d-xo.html

I was wondering could they help with ammonia? im worried becuse i have fish in an eycosphere and for some reason the water is going foggy

That doesn't excuse giving it out as advice to anyone and everyone on the internet.
Oh... so, you saying that instead of telling people how I do things I should tell them things that I don't do. WOW!
Peace out
where to find the seed snails and daphinia?
They can be found in nearby lakes or ponds
Do you have any snails in this aquarium?
There were at least a couple young bladder snails in this aquarium even I did not put them here purposely.
Do underwater terrarium needs sunlight
Yes.
Light is the fundamental source of energy all life on our planet depends on.
@@4me thanks for reply

How long seed shrimp will live. Does it need salt water?
I have fresh water aquariums and familare only with freshwater seed shrimp. There are different strains of seed shrimp. I never managed to separate/ keep one individual shrimp to check on lifespan. My seed shrimp seems to live more than couple months for sure while growing up to couple millimeters. Suppose they may grow even larger, but my fish would it the large seed shrimp right away.

How do you not need a filter and a heater
Thank you for the question:
The temperature in my aquarium is about 72-76 F all year around. It is comfortable temperature for guppies. Therefore, they don't need additional heaters or coolers.

How do you make it 72-76 f without a heater
It's done by automated heating/ cooling system. Thermometers are installed in each room to take measurements and turn on/off electrical heater or air conditioner in each room separately.
So I can get. Vase or bowl and put some plants and some snails and then I can put couple of guppies
And is there any way you can hook me up with any aquatic plants and or snails
1st
You are the winner!!
Michael Langerman yesss I don't think I've ever been 1st
