Some tiny copepods even live in trees in jungles, they move between water pockets (like the pools in bromeliads) by moving through the film of water on plants when they're wet after it rains. (they'd probably end up drying out partway through trips if jungle rainfall wasn't so absurd)

@sdmitch16 Год назад

How do they end up higher up in trees?

@sevehayden1463 Год назад

@@sdmitch16 They're small enough to swim up the films of water on the bark when its wet, and/or can hide away in cracks where water tends to stick a little. No real idea how they move from tree to tree though. (maybe they hitchike on other critters for a bit, but haven't heard anything about that)

technically, you can just walk away from a stressful life. If you give up on having expectations and wants, you can just walk away from everything and become homeless but low stress. Some young people in china are doing something called "laying flat", where they subsist on an income of $31 dollars a month, and just, not do anything and try to be stress free. I wouldn't be able to do something like that though...

@shortpam 2 года назад

Question: Most non-microscopic animals make sounds. Do any of these tiny creatures have that ability?

@AndrewChumKaser 2 года назад

Essentially no. They might incidentally make tiny sounds by moving around and such, but they don't have an organelle or any other structure dedicated to making noise, especially not in the way us at our scale do. That is unless you consider the movements in the water sounds, which you arguably could. In which case almost all of them do make sounds, and a good many of them can detect and react to them.

These little guys are so critical to everything, that we even need them in reef tanks to keep the system in check. Without them all sorts of gnarly things can happen and your tank then crashes. Some people even go so far as to set up a refugium in their sump to remove waste and grow pods, especially with the use of macro algaes.

@TamAnds Год назад

This explains why I'm suddenly seeing a lot of copepods in my aquarium - after my fish died of some unknown illness I treated the whole tank with an antibiotic, hoping to kill off whatever it was that killed my fish under the assumption it was some kind of bacterial infection. Of course this also messed with my biological filter and so I've been seeing some diatoms again, which I never get anymore in a tank that's been established for close to two years. So I'm getting more copepods because there's more diatoms in the tank to sustain a larger population! I saw them skittering around on the glass and was uncertain what they were, all my various googling eventually led me here! I'm very happy to let them eat up all my diatoms.

@TheBullethead 2 года назад

It's strange that you mention how many diatoms copepods eat in a day, yet don't show that happening. I mean, given the consumption numbers, you'd think videos of copepods NOT eating diatoms would be exceedingly rare :) But I must say, as a Cajun, this video made me hungry. Copepods look (and probably taste) much like shrimp, my absolute favorite food and, when shown much magnified on my monitor, were about the same size as the shrimp I love so much. Time to put on my white boots.
