It looks like a mini swamp in there, pretty cool. 20-month old water and it still looks cleaner than some people's 1-week old fishbowl water.
Not trying to be a dbag but that’s because there are no fish and a bunch of plants. Those fishbowls look awful because there are usually fish and no plants in a tiny area.
@@bullythebooks yeah I agree, and that's exactly why I made this comment. This video just shows that if people want to properly maintain a vessel of water of this size, it's only suitable for a bioload this low with plenty of plants and not for bettas. Of course, I still don't recommend a vessel of this size for fishes even if theres plenty of plants.
@@Billy_The_Frog Okay just making sure there was an explanation as it looked like you were surprised by how clean the water was. Cheers(:
@@bullythebooks Aye, I guess I didn't do my comment right
@@Billy_The_Frogyeah, ecospheres are meant for plants, isopods, small insects, and other really small organism. A lizard would live a horrible life in a small ecosphere, so isopods and insects are the way to go
Chris: I cant even grow pothos.
Me who killed duckweed: A worthy challenger!
Bruh same
My duckweed died due too much sunlight:(
Same I thought duck weed was gonna grow crazy but died in 2 days after I got them
I can’t grow any floaters
Do you have valisneria 👀
"20 month ecosphere... that's almost a year, if my math is correct." So close, but still so far. Lmao.
Lol Where do you live? I wanna go to a place where 1 year is more than 20 months hahaha
@@cxielmail4075 lmfao
Maybe he meant a year since he opened at the 9 month mark?
Lmfao what kind of math does he do that was almost TWO years! Sheesh
A very atypical Asian. Jk!
if those are pothos cuttings and they need to root still, put them bare root/stem in an open cup of plain sink water on a sunny windowsill (preferred off-light, not direct). Leave it there till roots show up, THEN plant. it's a very easy plant. Soak in water (absolutely drench it), maybe once a month or if it starts to look wilted and feel a bit soft. The rest of the time let it be dry. It encourages the plant to branch out and focus on vine/leaf growth while it also prevents moldy soil.
And if it hasn't had a chance to scab after cutting it needs to be left out, bare root, clean, for like three days or so. An open wound on a plant after cutting is just like an open wound on us - it needs to scab to be protected, and the stem itself is poor at sucking up water. So pure water for rooting is best. No root serum or hormones needed. Cup + indirect sun + water = rooted cutting for non-succulent plants.
For succulent plants just leave em in the open so they scab, wait for roots at the wound, shove the root end in some wet dirt.
AVOID fertilizers until the plants have been rooted in dirt for about a month. In my experience it can actually be a bit strong for the baby roots and 'burn' the plant. If you dilute it until it's almost not there it could be safe but it's also a bit pointless. Fresh soil that's aerated with about 20% perlite or similar which is largely comprised of 50% coir and 30% topsoil is perfectly nutritious for the first month of a new pothos's potted life, at the least. I see roots in 1-2 weeks this way.
Not to mention if those Photos cutting have been in soil before, it might take some time to adapt and root to grow. 3 week ago, i cut some Photos in my local hospital garden (i went there to get second shot of vaccine). They are in very dry hanging pot with direct sunlight there, a very contrasting condition where it's new home gonna be. I want to grow it on my outdoor Betta "pond" that under the shade. It take ±9 days for me to see the new root grow, but after that initial struggle, it's a smooth sailing from there. I got new leaf growing as we speak and 3 long root (one is extra long and the other 2 is half the length of it).
For the cube: what about getting a huge snail shell and using it as a centerpiece?
Could be a snail only tank if youd like too!
Suggestion for the small cube: I'm thinking along the lines of an Oscar and a few goldfish friends, simple, nothing too crazy
Maybe add a common pleco too 👌or arowana.
@@mycatisjudgingyou800 an arowana is a little too fancy for a simple aquarium but hey a common plecos only 3.99 one more fish won't hurt
Can i request a juvenile Red Eared Slider too ?
Could put a saltwater baby shark in as a center piece.
For the cube: What about a shrimp tank? And using an interesting centerpiece like a shell or some interesting plant.
YES
No credits to 'concerned ape' for the music?? The music is from a game called 'Stardew Valley' created by one person who made not only the art but also the music.
Suggestion for the small cube: emerse floating island planting.
I'm going to be doing something similar with my 1.5g cube but essentially its a floating island with Java "ferns" under the water that grow out and down. (Maybe with some sußwassertang for some variety) then above the water line a small maidenhair fern planted to grow above the water, and some other accent plants. Sort of like a floating kusamono. I had my brother 3d print a small basket to use as the base that holds it all together.
This also makes it super easy to clean the tank since all the plants are in/on the island, you can just lift it out, wipe down the sides, and put it back. Great for small cubes. Then the bottom can just be bare, or perhaps some sand and a few strategically placed gravel pieces.
Even though making a proper mess it was really cool Chris!! Good luck to the new little guys going in!!
I like how that Java Fern is doing it's thing!
Time to clean up that new little cube for a new aquascape!!
Hope you and everyone has a great day!!🙏🌿🐟🌿💚
Haha, can’t Tell if you’re joking….
@@MattyP650 🤔🤣🥰 I can't help it I love everything Chris does 👍🙌🔥
@@marypaigeflynn4512 I love Chris too. I think hes the most relaxing fish creator to watch.
@@MattyP650 🙌👍🥰
I was binging this series just 2 hours ago,thanks for the pleasant surprise Chris…
I see a cube tank beside that ecosphere. Excited to see what ur gonna do with it :)
So the key to getting the pothos take your first need roots on them. Then I suggest giving them full sun light, plenty of water, and some indoor plant liquid Miracle-Gro, comes in a pump bottle would so help pothos. It's a very for giving plant for the most part. You're more exotic pothos not so much.
I root mine in a vase in plain old water, they root fast and are impossible to kill.
I was just watching u setting this up and another video pops up
Idea for the nano tank: create a tiny paludarium!!!! Never seen someone do this before and it seems like such a great idea! 😆🐠🐠🌱🌱
That's gonna be some fresh heccin air in there!
The java moss looks like all us boyzz hair during quarantine
i have an idea, that small cube would be a great BAMBOO shrimp focused tank!!!!!!!
Nah they like flow. How is he gonna get flow in that little thing I don’t know lol.
Can't get over how good you are at literally anything. ❤️🐟
Tiny tip that I do. Instead of using a cup to pull the water out, try using a turkey baster. They're so good. I use it for sucking excess water in my plant trays also
Not gonna lie, I always feel kinda sad for the shrimp, forever alone 😅
I'm wondering if I can do this using more shrimp and snails, cuz I don't want the Svens to be alone either!
If chris says thats java fern then it bloody hell is java fern! 💪😡
3:23 advice for future Chris try taking a decent length of air line and use it as a syphon hose next time stirring up a lot lest dirt if you do the same in reverse for new water
Wow. Amazing ecosphere 😍
Hey man, love the videos, but idk if it's a good idea to put shrimp in ecospheres! They aren't hardy enough for this kind of experiment, so I'd just stick to ramshorn snails and other micro critters
these ecosphere videos are awesome
I’d do a micro iwagumi in that little tank you showed at the end. Break an ohko stone into tiny pieces and scape with that.
Long, skinny Worm swimming in the cloudy water 3:12 - 3:17. (Look in the left center to top left of the opening) @Fish for Thought
The Stardew BGM is so fitting!
Java Fern ASMR got me having an epilepsy on the ground🤣🤣🤣🤣
Just setup a 50 gallon tank for my patio and man is it awesome seeing everything coming together in unison
Congrats! I had the same feeling when I finally got my 12g bookshelf tank going. I designed and built my own UG filter system to be completely quiet, and to have it all come together was a thrill. Enjoy!
Pothos grows faster using water propagation so maybe stick it in a tank for a few weeks and see how it goes
This video is perfect in it's imperfections
Grow pothos in water! It’s not just for propagation. There are some good articles about it.
Edit: I have a pothos clipping that I rooted in water then stuck in my snail / Java moss jarrarium and it loves it. The snails love its roots lol! (Ramshorns)
nice video Chris. your first ecosphere video inspired me to start my own ecosphere it is a little smaller than yours so I just put snails and some micro worms cyclops and some sort of aquatic slug hatched in thereif you wanna see it I have a couple videos of it on my channel
Name it Svensphere, for he was a pioneer for future shrimpkind.
For the cube tank, can u do half light coloured sand and half dark coloured sand. Some floaters, live plants at the back, grey cave shelter, river rocks and stock it with some cherry shrimp and some snails.
OML 5 LIKES AND A HEART FROM FFT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TYSMMMMMMMMMM :D
I had to pause the video to make sure I wasn't hallucinating the SDV music. (I've been playing it a lot lately.) Love the java fern. Do you think my local fish store will know what I mean when I ask for it? :D
Java moss
Love the stardew valley music! It's nice and peaceful
Whatever you do for the cube scape, you should give making the substrate way higher in the back a try.
The dimension it creates looks really nice, and you can drop food in the front to get shrimp/snails to a well lit and easy to view area.
Ur cube tank should be a moss tank.
Or you should make it a form of carpet plant farm. Carpet plants like shallow water n u could get plenty from it.
N u can change it up to a new carpet each time
You could use rubber tubing and siphon water out.
I started my own 1 gallon ecosphere and it’s going great so far I now have a new addiction that’s much worse than crack thank you.
Needs a mini water pump for livestock like shrimp. That's why his activity level slowly reduced to 0. There can't be enough dissolved oxygen for animals without any circulation. If you do this again consider using a 3 watt water pump or at the bare minimum a water change every couple of days. I have a similar setup and have previously disconnected my water pump and noticed the shrimp did not like it.
That is so cool! Now I am gonna need to try that for sure
I loved the stardew valley music!
that old rams horn is massive, wonder what would have been its size if there was no floaters up top
Its a pond snail
Yay for update! Why did you do all that “Maintenance” though? It was going strong as is! Now its a 1 day old ecosphere, changes kinda cancel out time in my opinion, but its just an opinion of course!
Simple answer rly, cuz i was being dumb :((( 🥲
@@FishForThought noooo, you arent dumb! The beautiful thing about doing at home projects like this is that you can do it however YOU want, no judgement here just questions :)
Instead of scoping out water like that, u can try siphon method. Its more easier to do water change and less messy ;)
Airline tubing and a syringe work great for water changes in the planted vases I keep.
The Stardew Valley music is *chefs kiss.*
I feel sorry for sven. Shrimps live in groups, didn't they?
Good Soup 🤤🤤 (jokes aside it’s very beautiful and a huge accomplishment)
wow Chris's sarcasm level is as high is as the ammonia in a fish abuses tank
After a long day of middle school and no hot pockets, this fixed it all.
Hey Chris you should put 8 goldfish (minimum) in the new tank of yours, nothing less than 8 though, they might die from having too much space.
I totally forgot about this !
There's twelve months in a year. This thing's nearly two years old.
Man, i sure would love some java fern now
Nice ecosphere, hope the Sven 2 survives.
I really loved the Stardew music!
“Me choosing suffering like usual” earned a like and a sub 😂 So relatable!
It's always "fish for thought" and never "food for Sven"
I'm always so happy to see your videos pop up in my feed ❤
5/5. Keep it up.
„Hydras do not appreciate stagnant water“
Me: „having extremely reproductive hydras in jar“
Put the pothos in a jar with water from your aquarium. It will grow roots then you can repot them.
You should have done a water test of the ecosphere before the water change. Just to see if there's anything interesting.
now you need to make a Java Fern shirt, guaranteed sales.
1.5 on the aquascape. I can see what you were going for with the live plants, not overstocked but lacked a clear theme. ;)
I plan on doing a very similar ecosphere but plan to try and maybe drop an algae tablet in every month if I’m not seeing sufficient algae growth
it is kind of good to know shrimp can survive for long without food. i have kept my new cherry shrimp in a low tech extra large brandy glass. i haven't seen them eaten any food i give them. They like egg shells it seems but not algae pellets or flakes.
Pothos leaves curl when they don’t have enough water if you get the chance you should set it outside and let it get rained on
I like how u use cull shrimp for ecospheres
Could possibly have a big enough ecosphere for fish to live in? Like a giant isolated pond?
i love aqua plants
We have a few ecospheres on our Channel. Great education for kids 👍
The music is so amazing. I haven't played Stardew Valley in months, you made me want to play it again!
you can use a bit of airline tubing as a mini siphon for these its super fun!
I tried to watch the news and it gave me the panic and this was like touching grass with my soul. I am soothed.
The minecraft music and this video goes together so well
You're so impatient 😆
For the tiny tank maybe a one plant only tank like maybe just javafern or something
Sven was a good lil shrimp😭
i think for the scape you should do a amazon river kind of scape with a kind of jungle vibe
Looking forward to Sven 3
For that rimless cube how about growing a really tall plant out the top like double or triple the height so the cube looks like a scaped pot for it? Maybe that sad sad pothos will grow big and tall from out the top of the cube?
fascinating stuff
Love ya videos Chris but ITS NOT JAVA FERN, ITS JAVA MOSS haha 😂
Morimo Moss Ball exhibit for the other tank!
Plant ASMR is a thing
Nice one have some ecosphere saltwater and fresh water
I don’t see a fern in there Chris lol
For the small cube tank i would like to see some great whites and a blue whale for that main centerpiece fish.
This video would be interesting narrated from Albert's point of view.🐌
Also, turkey basters are awesome for water changes!
YEAH! Liking that SDV soundtrack for this one. Went perfect.
Wondering if you could have actually placed a bit of algae in the jar at the begining to start growing and supply Sven (rip) with food.
Looking forward to seeing this nano tank setup! Great shots!
chris : 3:24 im a mess right now
me who broke four fish bowls accidently : ._.
I want a shrimp 😤 I only have 2 bettas DON'T WORRY THEY EACH HAVE A 10 INCH TANK🍤
I mean gallon😭😭😭😭😂
Wow crazy that you just uploaded this video! I saw your first video long ago when it first came out and I’ve always wanted to make one and I’m finally doing it!
Sup have a nice day everyone
