I once tried something similar with plants and pond snails.
The reason it doesn't work with snails should have been obvious before I
tried it.
Three snails can turn into 300 in a week.

A suggestion though - maybe you could get a gallon jar for your next try. A
gallon would give more room for plants and animals, and have a better
"margin for error" than a small jar would.

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone can point me to a newsgroup / forum about
ecospheres. I recently saw those ecosphere balls at
http://www.eco-sphere.com/home.htm and wanted one. Yes I realize it's
old news, but I just found out about it. Anyways, the price is way too
high for me, so, being an idiot, I decided to try and make my own.
