| Other Details |
| Other Information: |
fishbowl has cover to slow evaporation, and rigid airline to keep water circulating, a kreisel effect. Also, I put a terrestrial seedling mat under the fishbowl to warm it a little. My basement is 75F at the moment, and the mat keeps the shrimp at 80F. Not needed, but I think it might speed things up a bit. |
