I laughed so hard when you realized that wood that floats... floats.

"I never had a probelm with rocks floating." Pumice: Hold my beer.

He could literally be talking over a rock being filmed and I would watch.

That floating wood revelation was hilarious. Your sense of humor is entertaining.

What the hell he’s a handsome young man? I thought for sure he was an alien robot.

Just imagine seeing a guy netting around the local park pond while speaking to himself surrounded by microphones.

A stickle back aquarium sounds like a really cool idea

this video is iconic. the level of self-awareness coupled with the casual obliviousness to the floating property of already floating wood? Beautiful. The self-professed lack of skill? Amazing. The taste in shirts? Exemplary. I subscribed for squiggly things in jars but I got so much more. This is culture

Don't worry too much about sounding professional or providing perfect commentary all the time, I think seeing every step of your process and hearing your thoughts on them are part of the charm. Plus, you're very funny.

I rescued 220 tadpoles from my pool, let them grow into frogs and didn't have mosquitoes for 3 years afterwards.

“is that english?” continues speaking

This is probably my favorite videos so far. You may not be a "professional" aquascaper but it is great to watch people learn from their mistakes and improve. Also good to see an actual human being in the videos. Keep up the great videos. One of my favorite channels at the moment.

Aww!! You are SO young!! I want to tell you a few things: PLEASE PLEASE stop saying that you are stupid and things like that, you really aren't that. You are a brilliant kid. And you are learning! It's impressive to see how you learn! I see your videos from Buenos Aires, Argentina with my 6 year old son 😊

I swear this man is awkward and funny at the same time😂

0:38 my mom’s face when I bring a jar of muddy water into the house because I saw a KZfaqr do it

"Is that english?" That was extremely adorable for some reason.

"This I can control.....oh no, what's happening?"

I collected tadpoles in a stream near my grandmother’s. Let them grow and released them back into the stream. Great little creatures.

"Oh he's getting some floating pieces so when the tadpoles grow legs they can climb out the water. Oh. Oh no."

"Ladies and gentlemen, we got him." 😂

Me before watching this video: "This guy is really smart. He knows so much about all these obscure water creatures and how to keep them" Me now: "Didn't he realise that wood that floats, ehm, floats?" But in all honesty, I love your videos, I love this video and i'd love to see a stickleback aquarium!

I really enjoy your "unprofessionalism" it makes me feel relaxed and reminds me to take it easy with my ecosystems and that they dont have to be perfect. Your little mistakes and stutters make your content relatable and human. And that beat boxing?? Perfect. Thank you for your work dude. I feel like you're my friend even though I've never met you become of your content. Keep it weird 👍👍👍

I like the floaty logs and yes, they naturally resumed floating. I love raising tadpoles and hearing their frogs! Take care of the froggies for me, they sound loved

“Out of place” was used correctly. Thanks for all the cool videos.

I have so much respect for you sharing your floating wood mishap. So many people would edit that out. The honesty of your process is so refreshing. You are awesome.

There aren't many channels on KZfaq I look forward to watching as much as yours. Always entertaining and relaxing. Keep up the good work

That small floating piece is really nice, plus the animals living in it liked it, too. Plus the tadpoles will love it when they get big enough.... which you already knew =D

Please do a stickleback aquarium! Itd be so cool and interesting theyre one of my favorite fish and i feel like there isnt enough videos about them let alone aquariums

Great seeing you on camera..your charisma comes through the lens..keep doing what you do and thanks for posting!

"I've never had a problem with rocks floating." That just means you haven't been trying hard enough. But in all seriousness, great video! I used to keep newts in a paludarium when I was a kid.

Hey, Life in Jars! Ur one of my favorite channels ever!!!

I'll admit I didn't think about wood either. Lol Just keep doing you bro. Do what you want, and what makes you happy. I so enjoyed this.💚💚💚

This is my first time I've seen you! I thought you were an old guy!!!

A few months late.. but.. 1. You are amazing 2. You are not stupid 3. We love your videos 4. It's ok to make mistakes. You always make me smile, and I'm sure that there's hundreds of us who feel the same. Thanks for sharing yourself with us!

He had the wood start to float and I thought. “Huh... well. That’s a problem.” Didn’t even think twice about getting floating wood. Cuts to him crying--->🤣lol

10:43 I was screaming at you to find the ship. but tbh, I love how it looked like an anchor

You’re adorable and we love you. Thanks for making an on screen appearance again!

I used to do this in old discarded coolers when I was growing up so maybe it’s just nostalgia, but I think this is a) incredibly intriguing b) utterly fascinating and c) absolutely adorable You can try soaking the pieces of wood overnight if you want to add them later or to another aquarium, just make sure you use something to keep them weighted down and fully submerged

"Look at that! Isn't that a nice slope? Well, I don't know..."

2:32 I think a stickleback aquarium would be cool

" Out of place " is the correct expression!

Take it as life is one big experience. Never know whats gonna happen till it does. I've learned so much from you.

I stumbled upon the videos about a year ago. My kids and I have added them to our Saturday watching list, along with a few other channels we enjoy. We cant get enough and find ourselves sometimes re-watching a video just because we want more.

I live in Alaska, I believe we only have one species of frog, I’ve only ever seen one in the 24 years I’ve lived here. This would be an amazing project to do! Love your videos

Havent laughed out loud in a while, this made me do it. Tanks for all the fun, information and experimentation! Keep up having fun, fellow Dutchy!

"oh no what's happening" is exactly what I repeated to myself while watching this. Your honest reactions are very cute and informative.

I just signed up for Partreon and pledging $5 a month to support what you do! I love the content you have. I have a half gallon jar with a fish and some tiny snails inside that's been thriving for over 1.5 years. I wish I could show you somehow....

Life in Jars: I want to make a aquascape Aquascape: no

You being self conscious about being entertaining is thoroughly entertaining. If you want your floating wood to sink, why not glue some fishing weights to the underside of them?

omg king when all the tadpoles turn to toads and it rolls out like that one mr bean episode but u tame them bc ur a legend of microcosms

Please don't say you're stupid. I think you're an amazing guy. So intelligent, passionate, creative, hilarious (in a great way!) and still so young. Imagine how much you will have learnt by the time you're in your 30s and 40s! You'll be a complete expert on the subject. We only learn through perseverance and from making mistakes. I absolutely love your videos and even though I have a huge frog/toad phobia, I really want to see how this project progresses. Keep on panic-scaping!! 🐸

2:31 Yes! I have a few spare aquariums that I've considered having them. They are needed to be removed from our creeks here so easy to find.

L&J: * does face reveal * Me: I was not expecting that. But I was expecting not to expect something, so it doesn't count.

My son and I are obsessed with you and your videos. We went to a local creek yesterday and put together a SUPER AWESOME ecosphere! He is so proud!

Omg I can't believe, 2 of my favourite things in the world, aquariums and tadpoles.

when you said "look a little isopod" I heard "astronaut" and chuckled cause thats a cute joke, but then I realised it wasnt but im gonna pretend it was.

LiJ: "Here's a closeup of one of the stars of this video." Tadpole: O.__.O

You tried and I believe you succeeded. I love your commentary. Not everyone wants to watch an expert. As an amateur fish keeper, I thoroughly enjoy watching someone make similar mistakes to me and it helps me see those errors positively.

Don't worry about being entertaining because you're already are, plus you've got the looks, you've got the voice. What else could we ask for?

until this video I imagined you were a kind of chubby middle-aged gentleman with a mustache and big glasses I realized I've never seen your face before

"but hold on wait a minute okay when I went locally sourcing I saw these pieces of wood and bark floating so there would be an easy target for me to grab what I didn't realize was if they are floating in the pond they will be floating in the aquarium as well so now YOU'LL FLOAT TOO". - Pennywise the aquascaper.

Your humor is perfect. When you ask if this is entertaining, the answer is yes.

Oh my gosh you ding-dong. XD I'm glad you still got a laugh out of the floating wood.

"oh no... they're floating" yeah I know that feel.

Meanwhile kids are asking why that guy is running around the lake with a net and camera

you dont have to be an expert at something to enjoy it, you dont have to be a professional to be entertaining. Watching someone try, fail and learn is very educational and entertaining and i think you should keep doing that without worrying so much about not being good enough.

You DO make learning something new a matter of enjoyment. You have come such a long way with your channel, and the effort you put in shows. I look forward to watching these tadpoles evolve and gradually become frogs. Thank you for always providing unique, and strangely satisfying content...you delight and tickle the brain. Please continue to follow your instincts and your interests, it sets you apart from the rest. Stay safe.🖤🇨🇦

the best feeling is swimming in a creek and just seeing like a phat tadpole or a lil fish or smthn

This is the first 20 minute video that I didn’t skip a second of.

I don't know why, but I'm crying while watching this. It's so nice, and your personality makes me smile.

This was such a fun video - I've been chuckling half the time with enjoyment. Thank you!! And let's hear it for the rocks, who do what you want them to! (Very well-educated and well-mannered, those rocks...)

"I never really thought about the concept of tadpole nostrils...but it makes perfect sense" 😂😂😂😂

I woulda prolly watched the whole thing even if it was in real time haha. Also: A stickleback aquarium would be awesome!

honestly don't worry about being entertaining, watching you set up it is plenty fun! If you don't have anything to say, doing a timelapse/music in the background works very well! Loved the video!

bro you do know that adding water to an "empty" (new) tank is the most exciting part of any aquaculture video... love your content.

The aquarium is so beautiful! I wish I lived by a pond with tadpoles and fish!

Staying up late was worth it to watch this

“i also hope that this bag-“ *aggressive crumpling sound* “-doesn’t make a lot of noise” he is so funny and he doesn’t even realize

I’m glad you are taking on project you can get excited about! Thank you for providing great entertainment.

5:16 It became entertaining when you put 70s porn music over it

Your so good looking, adorable, smart, awesomely funny and extremely creative. The perfect guy...lol Keep on making wikid videos with interesting n funny continent coz your fan n friends luv em .

Thank you so much for doing these videos in English! They're very entertaining, which is partly your humble and honest sense of humor but also hugely to your knowledge. Appreciation from Australia!

“they’re all welcome though,” what an angel. where can i put in my wife application ?

You kinda cute ngl 😳

I remember catching sticklebacks as a kid. A stickleback tank would be cool.

Love an ecospherist with great taste in music👍 All the world boogies, even when you zoom in.

I had to stop the video to laugh when the bark started to float! I genuinely had the same expectations as you and was equally disappointed that indeed, what floats in nature floats in a tank too. Man, thank you for your video.

Lmao "This is another plant, a green one."

Your unintended ignorance makes a wonderful zen like spirit journey.

The floating wood, and the 5 minute explanation, was the funniest thing I've seen all month.

I love this video so much. Your personality is so fun and genuine

i started watching this channel last year and have JUST NOW NOTICED HOW HOT THIS MAN IS?!?!

You look like a movies actor that I can’t name

I love your videos, one of the only things to make me laugh and put a smile on my face nowadays. Thank you

you are doing a fantastic job in educating and entertaining your viewers. I love your channel!

“Alriiighhttt “ said in a cool voice

Carp aquarium is what you get at level 100

This is honestly a great job for someone just starting out with this type of project. You don't have to worry about talking all the time, either. A lot of times, if you don't have anything to say, you can just do your thing with some music like what you have going in the background. Also THAT TADPOLE IS SO CUTE.

This video is amazing, your channel is amazing, the edits are amazing, and in general, you are amazing. Thanks for the content you give us, I've been watching since like less than 20,000 and it's to cool to see the channel explode!

Wow no joke I thought you were a middle-aged man judging by your voice
