Halocaridina rubra

Just to let you know that the shrimp is straving to death slowly in the ecosphere though as the nutrients are just barely keeping it alive.

Plastic shrimp, no feeding is needed, but cannot breed though.

i'm not really into ecospheres, but if you wish to do something like this, should have lots of moss (and only a few shrimps) so that the shrimp have something to feed from it.
