Well, as far as I can tell (and I've read most of the website, plus info
from related sites) it seems to be a fair setup. I don't know how much a
shrimp can understand things, but I see food, oxgen, and a nice habitat.
That is what we provide for our pets, and as long as you don't mistreat
them (ie: shake the crap out of them) I see no problem.
But it is nice to see people are concerned over things like this.
A bad example of something similar is the betta with a plant.
Instructions are to not feed the betta because he eats the plant. Very
limited ecosystem, as bettas are not herbavores. And the plant can
cover the entire top of the water. Big no-no for bettas.

I think the EcoSphere has at least been well thought out, unlike other
things. ::cough... betta in a vase... cough::

Confession here...got EcoSpheres and BioSpheres a bit mixed up....hate
BioSpheres....not sure about the practicalities of EcoSpheres....

RFLMAO. Erm, what's a BioSphere? BioSphere 2? Earth? The only
impracticality to an EcoSphere is how to get rid of the thing when
everything entombed has expired and is festering. Ewww!

picking on any stockist at all but this was the first hit on google:-
