Any suggestions what I could put in this?
I have this old (dead) terrarium vase that used to house a bonsai and some moss. It's like something more interesting though, possibly something (semi) aquatic although I'm not sure if it's strong enough for the water. It measures about 15cm wide and 40cm high. Looking for suggestions and inspiration! Thanks very much!

Smallest Jarrarium
I have several jars of various sizes and compositions. I accidentally created my first in 2007 when my Daphnea began breeding in a 250 ml beaker which I had sealed with plastic wrap and a rubberband to prevent evaporation.
These days I keep them for donating water and substrate to accelerate tank cycling, often for keeping live baitfish.
Here is currently my smallest jarrarium-
1 mL sample vial Chesapeake Bay sand green algae filaments several live ostracods

collecting soil/freshwater in winter?
hey all, ive been in love with the idea of making my own little jar ecosystem for ages now and i finally feel courageous enough (lol) to actually give it a try. i want to make a mostly underwater jar, and it got me thinking about seasonal differences. like, im in central europe and most ponds etcetera are currently frozen. would sourcing soil and water from these places in winter be a bad idea? should i wait for spring to truly hit for better chances with plants and possibly tiny critters? i know technically there should still be enough life in those substrates, just dormant for the cold season, but im wondering if waiting just a little longer might give me better chances with the whole project.
also more of a side note, but im also curious if anyone noticed seasonal differences between jars they started during different times of year, like other plants and the like. if true itd be like a tiny sample of that time period, super interesting stuff..!

3 day old jarrarium
I took some biomedia from a fully established fish tank, and added plants and water from the same tank. 3 days later and I already have signs of life! I can’t wait to see what I wind up with as this matures!
