I have some ecospheres that i’ve found some things not seen in their source, like a hydra. other Inat users, what are some interesting things you’ve found?

Ecosphere meaning one of these? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecosphere_(aquarium)

Or like these homemade versions? - https://www.youtube.com/c/lifeinjars I made a few of these last year. Lots of fun things showed up. Unfortunately, I accidentally cooked them before I could record the unexpected things. Pro tip: Don’t leave them where they will eventually get direct sun.

I’ve made a few of these over the past couple years, my first and oldest one being from March or April 2021. I’ve found copepods, ostracods, water mites, a hydra, tubifex worms, amphipods, and more! I currently have two of these right next to me on my windowsill. They’re a lot of fun and an easy way…

It’s hilarious that the thread took place at the exact same time I made my first one (which was also YouTube inspired!). I guess the algorithm decided the earlier months of 2021 would be all about ecospheres (Jarrariums)

yes, I am talking about the jars. sorry for the confusion
