I'm new to ecosphere's and very fascinated by them. I just got done filling up my first jar and well… I have no clue what any of these little creatures are. I was wondering, is there any sort of guide I could find to help me identify what's typically found in an ecosphere? I'd love to learn all about them and know what role they specifically play. Would also love getting some help identifying this guy in my jar! He's the biggest thing in there, very active, and by himself. I'm thinking of finding him a friend tomorrow because I am now emotionally attached to him and want him to not be lonely. Would love to get an opinion on if that would be necessary.

Aquatic isopod
This here is indeed an aquatic isopod but of a species I’m unfamiliar with
white ass isopod

Please post a video next time and show the full jar as well.
I agree with the others, it’s an aquatic isopod.
Also, here’s my fav critter ID guide with tons of pics and pages:
