Eco-sphere's don't have a brine shrimp they have a Hawaiian shrimp of some
sort. Brine shrimp only live a short timr, the eco-shrimp lives about
a year or more apparantly.


What do you do when they eventually expire though? Can you recharge the ball
somehow? Seems a waste to me.

Yep, and of course recharging costs money. :-)

Yup, and it aint cheap, but they're not cheap to buy in
the first place either. I guess if you can afford them at all
the "recharge" cost is of little concern. They last 2-5 years
although 8 is the record.
