Biology Project...fish in a bottle? - Nano-Reef.com Forums

I put healthy feeder guppies (2 females, 1 male), healthy anacharis, green algae (the fish eat it), tubifex worms (fish also eat it), and a few other things from my fish tank, then sealed the bottle. And to think that just a month ago he was lost and clueless with no direction as far as what he wanted to do. Good job, MD. You've done good so far.

But not only does he have saltwater in a tank but it's actually cycling with a nice clean up crew, all the right equipment and he's listening to sound advice from some of the best people on this site.

I think my last set up in a glass cookie jar went for about a year before I moved everything over to a larger tank (cherry shrimp only set up however). The day I would ban Mini-Dude if he didn't have saltwater in his tank. The day I would ban Mini-Dude if he didn't have saltwater in his tank. In the end only 1 guppy survived, but my water was crystal clear and odor-free while everyone else had murky water that smelled like crap. The guppies bred (then ate the babies but oh well) and all 3 survived on algae and worms for several weeks. ) You know what today is. The 15th of April. You know what today is. The 15th of April. I'm not sure if your has to be a self-sustaining ecosystem like mine did, but if it is, the way I did it is your best bet. Depending on the size a few cherry shrimp, some snails (malaysian trumpets), and least killfish would do fine.

Aggie Chemist Enjoying Two-Way Teaching Adventure in Afghanistan

(PressZoom) - COLLEGE STATION -- A little eight-year-old Afghan boy hugged Brad Nolen's leg tightly. Nolen had just dismissed his third-grade science class in Kabul, the capital of the war-torn country of Afghanistan, and the child was ecstatic about the experiment he had just finished in class -- an ecosystem in a bottle.


Although it was nothing more than dirt, grass and a few twigs inside an empty plastic cylinder, the child was overjoyed with his fascinating creation. It was one of the first times Nolen, a 2008 Texas A&M University chemistry graduate, realized his mission to spend at least a year of his life teaching in the down-trodden country was personally sparking a child's enthusiasm to learn.


"I just thought, 'This is the first time I've ever been hugged by a little kid,'" he recalls. "'This is nice.'"


Nolen has been in Kabul since August, living and working in a medium-security compound roughly equivalent to two city blocks in a southwest region
