Haha I know right? I'm starving right now. But hands off my babies or else:nutkick: haha. They are too small to be tasty anyway heh. Here's a couple of update pics, just for fun (as soon as AC lets me upload the pics... hmm...)

Consider it more of an 'eco-sphere' where the plants act as the filter. Frequent water changes are IME necessary.

OK. So I got sick of 90% water changes every two days in the 1g bowl. I put a DIY sponge filter in my 2.5g and aquascaped it with driftwood, java fern and moss with a moss ball for good measure. All ten ghost shrimp are in and enjoying the new digs. The original bowl was organic dirt capped with gravel then pebbles. Chaulked that experience up to "tried that... no thanks."

Here's the new layout.
