I read the makezine article, but it also lists as one of the steps "go to a pond and get amphipods, copepods, yada yada yada...". I don't have one nearby, but...
Also, has anybody tried putting activated charcoal in one? It is used in water filtration systems, and might be able to remove toxins that build up in there......
I put 1 male guppy and an anubius nana plant in a 1.6L jar. I picked one of my uglier(i have hundreds) guppies and took water from the tank he was in. I left...

... The kind of lighting you want will depend on the species you wish to keep and the style of twenty-gallon tank you have. Twenty-gallon tanks come in two...
... I wouldn't imagine it would last very long at all. I doubt a 1.6L jar would hold much O2 in reserve during the night hours when both the guppy and the...
Thank you Anthony. When I asked for this advice I was planning to use only plants for my project. Now the idea of a couple little red/yellow/black frogs for...
Hi everybody, This was my original unanswered message from a month or so ago. I'm starting a new ecosystem, and I'd like some feedback on the setup I'm working...

Most biospheres are made to balance. Everything has a food source and everything is a food source. Meaning if your anoles If happy will reproduce with no...
I forgot to add, I have raised Anoles in a terrarium. That is why the knowledge. I raised crickets in the same terrarium to feed them. I used 1/4" wire mess...
i don't know what species of anole you're talking about, but we have cuban anoles and green anoles here in florida. they do climb bushes and small trees, but i...
