... Some fish do (I think loaches, but i could be misremembering) Don't get stuck into thinking that "fishes" are your top level preditor. Snails fulfil the...
Generally no, a fish small enough for a biosphere won't eat snails. The commercially available biospheres don't have fish because they're not suitable for long...

Hey, You may remember a while back I made a post about starting my first biosphere from some pondwater in a 500ml bottle. I had initially mentioned some small...
Clams ay? Neat! Though I wonder how much they consume... Perhaps the algae in that one will produce more than enough spores to feed them. Maybe 1 or 2 brine...
Hello all! I got the idea to make my own ecosphere because I'm cheap, and i figured it would be more interesting. Anyhoo, I've got a big jar, and that's where...
I found this site regarding some capsules sent into space containing, most notably, vertebrates... Hopefully somebody here has the funds to use it to there...

Besides what Phillip said, I would consider a few things necessary. First, read up on water chemistry, nitrogen cycles, and other important fields, as well as...
I disagree. I would take any advice from an aquaria site such as the krib with a grain of salt- the goals of aquaria and biospheres are fundamentally different...
Success is in the eyes of the beholder. If you shoot for the moon (or maybe the Earth is a better goal being that the moon is pretty baron of life) then you...
