ecosystem (9 may 11)

yy school selling enclosed ecosystem for $36.90 each and he wanted to get one. So his stingy mummy which is me decided to diy ourselves.

we bought mineral water x 2 bottles, 3 shrimps x $3 each, 2 snails x $0.50 each and a water plant x $3 each. Total cost incurred $13

Some corals and stones available at home.
Just put everything together and this is what we have. a shrimp in the bottle. Rather small but much more interesting than fishes as you can see their movement in the tank. Unfortunately, 2 of the shrimps was found dead after 2 days. Not too sure why. Should be due to raising temperature in the water. The last shrimp survived for another week and now we are left with only 2 snails after 2 weeks.
