1gal Graduated Square with Canning Lid – Ecosystem-in-a-Bottle

Bring nature indoors with our Ecosystem-in-a-Bottle, a self-sustaining, low-maintenance ecosystem that thrives with just light! This innovative mini-world showcases the perfect harmony between plants, animals, and microorganisms, creating a unique decorative piece or an engaging “pet” for children.

Why You’ll Love It:

• Effortless Care: No feeding, no cleaning—just place it in sunlight or under fluorescent light, and let nature do the rest.
• Customizable Design: Choose the sand color, a branch, and seal color to match your decor.
• Educational and Fun: Watch the symbiotic relationship between the scud (tiny shrimp), snails, marimo moss, and microorganisms as they work together in a cycle of life.

How It Works:

Your ecosystem includes:

• Custom Sand Layer: A cozy home for bacteria that break down waste for the marimo moss.
• Scud (Shrimp Relatives): Small, fascinating creatures that keep the ecosystem lively while benefiting from the marimo moss.
• Snails: Slower, larger inhabitants of your ecosystem, helping to keep the glass clean.
• Marimo Moss: The ecosystem’s powerhouse, absorbing waste and releasing oxygen for the scud to breathe.
• Java Moss: Larger, faster-growing plant that gives lots of places for the scud to hide and feel safe.
• Branch Rest Area: Adds visual appeal and provides a spot for the scud to relax.
