Ecospheres

[furtech]

Darn it! I really wanted to get another ecosphere , but this site (about pet shrimp) claims that the shrimp are slowly dying, not surviving in a balanced environment.

So, who's right?!?

I had one a few years ago and the shrimp actually grew noticeably over the year+ that I had it (broken in a house-cleaning mishap-- became the "Ghettosphere" at Casa Zor). So I'm not sure who's right.

Any opinions?

Torture? No... viable over thousands of years? Greatly depends on how well they got the "mix" right... But in general, I'd think they must be doing something right since they survive for what seems to be decades with very little need (perhaps some sunlight for the alge to grow.) It's sort of like being in my cubicle in the office, now that I think about it...
