Jarrariums - Love it when the morning sun shines through the jars! Only happens for ~45 minutes or so but it looks so nice.

It’s been 6 months sense my last update but my mini ecosphere is now 1 year old :,)
Beginner!
Spice jar. 1.5” wide by 4” tall. Sealed on December 13th, algae and plants thriving. Daphnia, ostracods, and some kind of burrowing worm still moving in there.
Amphipods have been locked together for over 24hours. Is this mating? Small one always tries to get away but big one too strong. Idrk where to post this ;p ideas?
When my 3rd generation family home in the midwest was demolished 2 years ago I brought home some soil and a candy jar and made this little a little slice of heritage for my plant stand. It brings me so much joy.

Hey guys, so I'm just about to start my first jarrarium and I have a bit of an idea, but I thought I would ask here since you guys have so much cool stuff going on and seem so nice... I'm basically looking to make some simple sealed ecosystems, I'm not intending to keep any invertebrates but if it happens it happens, I've noticed some people with burrowing worms and that sort of thing .. can I just go and get mud and river water to start off with? Even if anyone knows of any good tutorials that'd be sick .. cheers in advance guys, I'm honestly so keen to start ..
