Is it ethical to keep a terrarium with live animals?

I have never made a terrarium before, but I’ve gotten really interested in it lately.

I watched a guy on YouTube (HabitatForge) who scooped up some lake water and debris, and put it in a jar. Plenty of small creatures emerged, and he said he would seal the jar shut.

It seems like such a cool concept, but would it be ethical? I wanted to try it out, but I don’t want any animals to suffer.

Is it better to just create a terrarium with plants and nothing else?

Thanks!
