[promocadeaux]

[promocadeaux]

i've different ecosphere too

[NicSchumi]

nice one :-)

[LulzAreGud]

so.... why were they sent to space?

[Popsugar29]

this isn't a sad story! Really sad is seeing a lobster cooked alive! Get real!

[HamatoKameko]

@Popsugar29 Any animal being treated badly is a sad story. Opae Ula are no less important because they are small.

[47Indigo47]

Hey where did you get that?

[llVllahi]

@moonskip Well then, my shrimp have been slowly dieing since 2002 when I bought them.

[TheObservers1]

@moonskip Hello last remaining caveman, shrimp, like many water dwelling animals, draw their oxygen directly from the water. If there is sufficient water, there is sufficient oxygen. Plus pebbles aren't a food source for shrimp in any way, they're pebbles, that's all. There is algae in the microcosm that grows independently at varying speeds depending on the light source and that is what the shrimp eat, not pebbles, it also produces oxygen. The only sad story here is that of your education.

[MarcoTUV]

Chris i have one question for you:

i´ve seen ecospheres with two or three shrimps

if one shrimp dies water turn poissonus?

[llVllahi]

@MarcoTUV Nope, the shrimp is decomposed and the ecosystem becomes more nutritional.

[MarcoTUV]

@llVllahi wow i didn´t know thank you !

[RazorWar360]

@ChrisGabz How is your sphere 1 year later?

[logik316]

@ChrisGabz

What are those animals going to feed on? You need some kind of algae or plants in there to provide a food source.

[logik316]

I once bought one of those Ecospheres for $150. Three of the shrimp died within the first 4 months, and the last one died about 2 years later. It was pretty cool, but I wouldn't pay that much for it again. I've taken pondwater and put it into an old soda bottle, and it still has things swimming around in it after 4 years,

[mragw]

WOW

[Mr007sbend]

I WANT ONE!

[NickHelpsNarbs]

this video gave me a boner

[SoundWavePanda]

looks pretty boring though...

[Pieishman]

ecospheres just let these guys starve in disguise.

[sashaas998]

idiotic

[BrightLucario]

lmfao. wow you like that thing? it's just fill with water and other crap.

[picatsoforfma]

How is this the perfect pet? You are supposed to interact with pets, even fish.

[logik316]

@picatsoforfma

It's basically one step above a pet rock. You don't have to feed it or clean up after it, but at least it moves around. And you do have to interact with it to a slight extent. You need to make sure these ecospheres get a moderate amount of light every day for the algae to feed on, or the shrimp will starve.

[jasonrothfeld]

300 dollars!!!!!!! shrimp at the pet store are 1 dollar and a plant is 3 dollars plus sand is 3 dollars plus a few snails is 3 dollars plus the tank 5 dollars plus a few fish 3 dollars total 20 bucks. biggest rip off ever

[Kruelvillethewest]

I want one soooooo bad but one question do the red shrimp grow to a bigger size?

[skate453]

were you watching school for scoundrels?

[IceTeaEdwin]

When you see it, you'll shit brix.

[Travesty1]

I always found those things to be interesting with kind of a cool, austere look. But I'm starting to realize that you can start up a good shrimp tank on your own for maybe a fifth of the price.

[supershadow70]

is a sea monkey?

[Kruelvillethewest]

No a sea monkey is a brine shrimp this a red shrimp

[cherob1984]

i bet PETA just "loves"these things!! talk about cruelty to animals!! Im buying one for my fiance!!

[chngngsldr54]

Did anyone else notice the absolutely terrible singing going on in the background? Nice vid, btw.

[dinoanimal15]

i make sure these guys hav alot of plants like they grow alot so theres food and as for the bartiera its warm so they repulate

[mawehe63]

im planning on making one but im broke right now so itll be a little while til i can afford the jar,sand,plant,shrimps,and snails(i tink i may make alot then start selling them since hey go for like 300 dollars on the internet i can make a nice profit =D)

[Kruelvillethewest]

300 dollars is bullshit i was at a store yesterday that had this exact same thing for 30

[KevinAPeterkin]

NO MORE MR CLE E E EAN !!!

[RippersToll]

so what happens when the shrimp die?

[Arvenohx]

Just what I was thinking lol. You can't exactly get re-fills :)

[AnnagoneBANNANAS]

you send it to the company and they put new shrimp in the container.

[RippersToll]

So, then its not a totally self-sustainiing mini ecosystem.

[AnnagoneBANNANAS]

Well, it's like if we were on mars. Then people would reproduce, but sometimes the shrimp don't do that all the time. haha. i have one, LOVE IT!

[manta965]

i had a small one the egg shaped one and after 2 yars the garenty they all died there where 3
