Maybbe a possible project in the future. Plus, it has an avg. lifespan of 3 years. I know of a freshwater one that has been up for 25 years.

Callatya Moderator The girl's got crabs! Posts: 9662 Kudos: 5261 Registered: 16-Sep-2001	That looks like a good way to end up with warm asphyxiated shrimp. Pretty though. I can see the appeal. A fully closed system at that size doesn't sound like a good plan at all to me. For animals, the entire universe has been neatly divided into things to (a) mate with, (b) eat, (c) run away from, and (d) rocks. - Terry Pratchett

zookeper Hobbyist Posts: 106 Kudos: 62 Votes: 6 Registered: 19-Apr-2007	I had one about 8 years ago. Was given to me as a gift. It was the round medium one. The sphere sat on my desk for about 6 years till the last of the shrimps died out. It was a really fascinating eco system and I really enjoyed it. I guess to some they think its bad but my shrimps and snails lived a long and happy lil life. Todd

agent_orange Enthusiast Posts: 165 Kudos: 77 Votes: 31 Registered: 05-Dec-2002	I seen these for sale at a local aquarium gift shop. It seems cool and may be a cool diy project in the future. My recent saltwater setup should provide me with most of what I need if I do a saltwater one. I will do quite a bit of research before I attempt to do this though, I'm sure it takes a lot of planning to set it up right. Now to find a cool sealable container . What does that mean, Bob?

superlion Mega Fish Posts: 1246 Kudos: 673 Votes: 339 Registered: 27-Sep-2003	It's not as bad as those "aquababies" things they used to sell (fortunately haven't seen one for a few years). Putting WCMMs, blue gouramis, or other fish in 4" cubes, with an input of food and no output for toxic chemicals, that was horrible... ><>
