well the setup seems to be a good balance, if there were two in there, I could see the thing going whack, if two start to mate, the need for waste removal and food would kill 'em all I would assume, I didn't really get in depth about how long those lil buggers should live? It would be kinda neat to see, and I would keep it if someone gave me one, but I wouldn't buy it, fo sho!

actually, it says that they could live successfully for 2 to 10 years and that they have reports of some living as long as 20.

Makes sense in principle. Areas like the deep ocean floor and mid-oceanic gyres are very good at nutrient cycling since they get so little new input. Obviously they can't last forever since the quality of the nutrients degrades with time, kind of a thermodynamics and perpetual motion thing but kind of helped along a little with the help of light energy.

It's neat, I don't think that it's cruel since it does provida all the necessary elements for health. True the animals don't have much of a future, but then, in the wild they've kind of got a tricky existance as well. Too pricey for my tastes though, for those prices I could have a nice sized aquarium.
