The video is a detailed account of a science experiment involving the hatching of ancient crustaceans from a mixture of dry dirt and dust. The experimenters, who have previously built nine aquariums, glue together a new glass box from scraps of glass. They use an online catalog to find inexpensive products, demonstrating the convenience of e-commerce.
The experimenters pour the dry mixture into their new aquarium, which is filled with almost still water. They initially believe the mixture to be too old and dry to contain any eggs. However, upon pouring the mixture, they find particles sinking to the bottom and some floating on the surface. They decide to leave the floating particles as they believe all the eggs could be there.
Two days later, they find hundreds of translucent crustaceans swimming around in the aquarium. They realize that the crustaceans are too small to eat anything larger than the drops dissolved in water. They steamed some culinary yeast with boiling water to prevent the crustaceans from multiplying and spoiling the water. They then feed the crustaceans with a mixture that looks like diluted milk.
After a few days, the crustaceans have grown significantly in size. They decide to switch their food source to microorganisms that multiply on pieces of plant organic matter. They feed the crustaceans with small pieces of carrot. However, they are concerned about the rotting vegetables in the small volume of water potentially turning it into a deadly swamp.
They decide to slowly add water from a large aquarium to the small one to increase the volume. They also switch their food source to organic animals, specifically chicken breast, and mosquito larvae. They also provide hiding places for the crustaceans to prevent them from eating each other.
After a few days, they notice that the crustaceans have grown significantly in size. They decide to move them to a large aquarium. They carefully pour the water from the small aquarium into the large one, ensuring the water temperature and chemical composition remain consistent.
They notice a small creature moving under a thin layer of dirt, which they later identify as a shrimp mollusk called let testere. They realize that the crustaceans have reached their normal size when they notice two small sacs with eggs under the back of the shell. They decide to move the crustaceans to the large aquarium, along with the sand and silt.
The video ends with a note about the length of the video and a request for comments and subscriptions.
1. The speaker received a bag containing a dry mixture of living eggs of different creatures from an unknown sender.
2. The mixture was placed in a newly constructed aquarium.
3. The speaker and their team are experienced in finding inexpensive products for their projects, often utilizing online catalogs.
4. The creatures hatched from the eggs live in puddles, so they were placed in a bath water that was almost still.
5. The speaker and their team observed the hatching process, noting that at first, the hatchlings were no larger than poppy seeds.
6. The crustaceans were initially fed with steamed culinary yeast suspended in boiling water.
7. As the crustaceans grew, they were fed with small pieces of carrot and later with chicken breast.
8. The crustaceans were sensitive to changes in the chemical composition of water and its temperature.
9. The aquarium water volume was gradually increased by a maximum of two times over a week.
10. The crustaceans grew significantly in size and length, increasing eight thousand times in volume.
11. The crustaceans were provided with food, but they were still prone to cannibalistic behavior.
12. The crustaceans were relocated to a large aquarium, where they were able to grow larger and stronger.
13. The crustaceans have a skeleton on the outside of their body, and every time they grow, they throw off the old shell.
14. The crustaceans were found to be able to lay eggs, and the eggs hatched during the next rain.
15. The crustaceans were moved to a large aquarium, where they were able to grow to impressive sizes.
