Diana Walstad's Shrimp

I've been spending the day having a lazy sunday! And I came across this;

Just wondered if anyone had tried setting up one of these shrimp bowls and how you found it?

Ive kept shrimps in ikea vases with various types of mosses and floating plants.

These were kept by the kitchen window and during summer a lovely green jar of algae was perfect for food.

I found that they wouldnt breed compared to a filtered and heated tank. Water changes were minimal and I would siphon straight into the kitchen sink. Top up with overnight tap water.

Ramshorns are good partners to put into the vases too.

Sounds like a great little project. I think I'm going to have a crack at it. Any particular plants you'd recommend? I'd like something to grow up and out, so I was wondering about amazon swords.

Just gotta figure out how to stop the cats drinking out of it now!! I know what the little horrors are like!
