I achieved this biodiversity by planting duckweed, aquatic moss (I don't remember the name, but it grows a few centimeters under the water), spiderwort, and chlorophytum which i tied them to driftwood so that some of them were submerged, allowing them to take root. There's a glass lid on top, with a 10-centimeter gap between it and the water. The current in the aquarium is very low, and there are no fish at all.

I have springtails in an ecosystem that came in on Salivinia minima. As cool as it is, unfortunately the scuds I have really like eating duckweed, so there was barely any habitat and the population was down to a few individuals. In another jar, the springtails went extinct due to lack of food.
They’re not microscopic if you can see them without a microscope haha
