Walstad Method Shrimp Jar Aquarium Setup! (Beginner-Friendly)
Join me as I celebrate three months with this budget-friendly, low-maintenance project.
This 1.7-gallon jar showcases the Walstad method, using live plants for water purification instead of filters.
I'll guide you through the setup process, from choosing the right jar and substrate to planting and introducing shrimp.
Learn about the plants and inhabitants, including cherry shrimp and nerite snails, and see how they've thrived in this self-sustaining ecosystem.
Explore the challenges, successes, and surprises along the way, including temperature management and algae control.
Discover why these shrimp jars are a fantastic entry point into the aquarium hobby, offering a glimpse into the beauty of natural, balanced ecosystems.
Don't miss the time-lapse showing the incredible growth from day 0 to day 90.
Thanks for joining me on this journey, and let's dive into the fascinating world of shrimp keeping!
