Take a look at my guide on ecospheres!
Been ages in the making, really proud of how this turned out. It's still a little WIP but I would love to hear some feedback!
These are amazing!
fascinating. I myself have always had trouble with marine ecospheres. Its great to see that other people are having better success!
Marine ecosystems tend to be more diverse so the large variety of organisms makes sense. However I would say that you shouldn't expect it to survive long because seacospheres are notorious for being extremely difficult to get working properly. Please send us updates to how it goes!
Sorry for the late reply, yes that would be completely viable, however you would need to make sure that you pick the correct type of ghost shrimp as many sold in stores come from brackish environments. Make sure you use freshwater species only.
Me! Admittedly I still do use Reddit occasionally for particularity niche subreddits but I do enjoy Lemmy a lot more!
Feel free to post here or consider checking out our main community over at mander.xyz!
A community dedicated to homemade closed ecological systems; AKA ecospheres
I do agree, however I would argue that an increased user base would help accelerate progress on improving lemmy
It's time to take advantage of Reddit's decline
It's no secret that Lemmy is shaping up to be a viable alternative to Reddit. The issue it faces however is that it's still relatively niche and not many people know about it. I propose that we change this. By contacting the mods of large subreddits and asking them to make and promote relevant Lemmy communities we could substantially increase the amount of people who discover the fediverse. What's more, I don't think this is would be a hard sell considering many mods are already pissed off with Reddit due to their API changes. I believe that this is the time to act, so this is a call to arms, to help grow the fediverse into the future of social media!
The fully enclosed spheres contain Hawaiian red volcano shrimp, not fish. They don't breed because they require extremely specific breeding conditions (highly saline water and geothermal activity) so eventually the shrimp die out. However these shrimp live for ages so they can theoretically last up to 10+ years!
