Can I expand my ecosphere

A few months ago, I made an ecosphere in a pretty small glass bottle with materials from a river. Because it was my first one, I was honestly expecting the whole thing to die off and collapse pretty quickly. Well, after a few days, two scuds appeared in my jar. They haven’t reproduced or anything, it’s just the same two scuds.

The ecosphere is surviving, and it’s gotten to the point where I just don’t think it’s humane to keep my little guys in this small of an enclosure. I am wondering if I could transfer the contents to a larger container, and then fill out the extra space with more materials from the same original river? Will that disturb my systems balance and kill everything?? I don’t want the life in my jar to die, but they really deserve some more space.

Let me know what you guys think of all this.
