Hi all,

I procured a large glass fishbowl today, 12 inches high, 15 Inches across, 8 inch aperture at the top!

27 litres in all.

I really want to do a Walstad Bowl, ultimately with emergent plants growing out of the water, and some sort of shrimp or minnow colony.

Will post updates in here, along with requests for help!

Good luck for your project.

I set up two nano Walstad bowls with no heater, no filter or anything else except for a few hours sunlight from the window daily. The bowls are 1 gal size and hold no more than 0.75 gal after subtracting the substrate volume. I keep cherry shrimp in both, rarely fed them and did my first water change in 6 months. Shrimp population is stabilized in one, but slowly dying off in the other. I don't know why but will try again with new shrimp.
