- In this video I’ll show you how to make a no filter, beginner friendly, shrimp ecosystem jar! It’s surprisingly easy to make and even easier to maintain, it’s also budget friendly as you don’t even need a filter! If you haven’t made one already, I highly recommend you have a go:)

Hey do u by any chance no any small UK native predator insects that aren't spiders as if u did I'd appreciate it I was thinking a centipede (small one) but if u have any ideas I'm all ears thanks!
bro you're on an absolute TH-cam rampage. Keep up the good work man!
great channel, with no likes or replies?
lemme fix that
Really appreciate it mate. Love your work as well!
I love those small, flat accent stones in the foreground!
always enjoy your video as ending for Sunday night, great pcs, see you next week
Great vid, love your work very informative as always
bro you deserve 100M subscribers thanks alot
Waiting for huge paludarium
It looks really pretty!
What a Large amount of Man.. . . I mean.. Shrimp!
😁👍🏾🦐
love this project so cool i want to do my own thanks for the inspiration
Beautiful piece!
Beautiful! I can't wait to try this!😊
Glad you like it😃
Beautiful ❤❤❤
Nice jar!
I'm happy you gave the walstad method a go. My advice would be try not to overfeed shrimp as it's much harder to maintain good water quality in a small container.
I love your choice of limnophila. I like its appearance much better than cabomba.
Also, at first I was worried about the thickness of the gravel because the roots can "burn" if planted directly into the soil, but everything was fine at the end
You are definitely right with the over feeding. Ideally I want the setup to be almost self sufficient where I haven’t got to feed & do in-frequent water changes. Hopefully I’ll get it there:)
Diane Walstad....I think she is a lovely woman but I don't get the craze about her "method" I have been keeping aquariums for at least 55years and nothing she discribes is "revolutionary" or even new.... generations of fishkeepers did it like her since the beginning of ornamental fishkeeping. 😏
@themountain59 I understand, but she became famous after her book went viral in the community. I mean, it's a big book packed with data and experience, all in one place etc. I guess it allowed many people to understand all the natural processes and stuff like that. There are no "right" ways to build an aquarium
Awesome!
Room tour please !
I love the vid❤❤
wow beautiful.
For crustaceans water buffering should always be mentioned, especially when it's mentioned this is a great beginner option.
GH is extremely important, and water should be tested for it even for cheap Cherries and Ramshorns. If someone has soft water, like myself 1KH 0GH they'll have brittle shells, and the neos won't molt properly.
Simple fix, but should be mentioned for those that don't know better.
amazing
Hi! I recently started following you and your videos got me wondering something. I keep triops/tadpole shrimp for pets; they live in ephemeral/vernal pools. Is it possible to do a build centered on temporary dessication? I don't want to dismantle my planted tank every time I want to dry their eggs for a new generation
Either way, lovely video! I gotta try that myself sometime
Wassup
Another amazing job. P.S where did you get the jar from if you don't mind
Wow that is awesome !!!!
I have a few questions: how did you attach the foam mat to the bottom of the jar or what method did you use. Also, how many weeks in did you add the shrimp? Also how often do you change the water? Thanks for the vid btw.
Great video! Could you tell us how to propagate cryps or plants like anubias?
I’ve never intensionally propagated them before, but it might be a good experiment or the future. For the anubias I’d likely attempt to propagate on damp crushed lava rock & keep it nice & humid
Could u do a tank with a no CO2 carpet? Ive been stryggling with growing my monte carlo into a carpet and i know u can use CO2 to make it flourish but i dont have the budget for a co2 set up. If you know a way to grow a carpet (doesnt have to be monte carlo) without co2 please do teach us!
Can i use normal aquasoil and put in one of those plant nutrient tablets instead of garden top soil?
I tried this following the same instructions from other channels. I did everything, planted like this, capped the soil like this, dechlorinated water, let it settle and tested the water……. Plants still rotted and my shrimps died after 3 weeks when they tried to molt (I added them after the vase cycled)
It’s about 10liters
A little fish fry ended up in the bag when I bought the shrimps and they were not bothered by it. He’s alive after about a month and a half since adding them, along with the few plants that stayed alive (about 2 cuttings of a stem plant, had to add a mini filter)
Even the Anubias rotted when it doesn’t even go in the substrate !
I don’t understand why it fails because I did everything like the instructions 😢
It's starts with the soil you used . How was the lighting and what the water parameters to begin with?
Pretty cool! Definitely something I have wanted to do just need to get around to it
Question I have is about water temperature? How do you prevent fluctuations in the jar?
It lives in my living room so there isn’t too much fluctuation. Even still I don’t think fluctuation would be too much of a problem so long as it’s not too the extremes & over a short period of time
@@TerrariumDesigns thanks for the input!
Where do you buy your plants / moss from? I'm looking for some online and I'm not sure what's a good source.
What should i do if the shrimp grow too much but i cant move them to a bigger place
Have you ever done a terrarium with seeds instead of cuttings to see its growth overtime? Been thinking of trying this but figured I’d ask a pro!
Seeds aren't a good way to start....you will be disappointed very quickly 😎
How do you dechlorinate the tap water? I usually just let it sit for 24 hours
Over a longer period small tanks are hard to maintain....so,beginners, be aware of that😏
I really love having shrimps. I tried similar type of setup in a fishbowl. No matter what I do I always had a problem of planaria. I even cleaned the bowl with rock salt, potassium and ordered tissue cultured plants which comes in some type of jelly. And again planaria showed up I think something is wrong in soil. What should I do? I used vermi compost with garden soil.
That’s a shame, I’ve had planaria in an old setup a few years ago, I used a product called ‘no planaria’ to treat it. It doesn’t affect the shrimp at all (even the babies) but it will kill and snails etc inside the tank. Hope this was helpful:)
@@TerrariumDesigns I know that product but it isn't available where I live.
@@TerrariumDesigns is there something wrong with the compost/soil should I use aqua soil instead?
@@adityakale6064Use Fenbendazole instead
Add 2 guppies(1male and 1 female)
The water doesn’t affect the super glue?!
do you have to sterilize wood collected from outside for terrariums that don't have animals or reptiles in them?
if you don't want uninvited guests in your aquarium, it's best to boil the drift wood and porous stones for a few minutes.... let dry for some time and then, you can use it.
Is that small size for yourself
Ecosystems are amazing things and would love to own one, but I live in Texas where power is much higher than other states. we pay over 600 bucks during the hot months which is 4-6 month depending on the year and having a light bulb running all day is very wasteful.
Wow that is expensive! I haven’t tried it with an aquarium ecosystem jar like this one, but I’ve seen other use indirect sunlight as a light source and it works really well. I’ve done it with plenty with terrariums, my oldest being 4 years that has only been growing in indirect sunlight:)
u think they get bored in there because its so small?
Just ask them...😂
