My drunken shrimps provides me with the much needed company on my lonely white study desk. Besides being mostly made of recycled materials, this eco-bottle-system, is relatively maintenance free. The algae just needs some light and it will keep the system going.
The fantastic algae, the moss ball.
This primitive plant will not only provide my shrimps with the algae food they need but also provide them with the much needed oxygen.
Thai red shrimps, my new pets.
They will eat the moss and provide the moss with the carbon dioxide the moss need. Their waste will provide food for the bacteria and the bacteria will break down the waste into nutrients for the moss.
Wala', a close system!
But I will need some chemical to treat the chlorinated tap water first.
The clear Absolut bottle is most perfect to house this bio-bottle system.
I have many magnets on my fridge.
I simply removed 2 pieces of magnet from 2 old magnet souvenirs.
The magnet will help me clean any unwanted algae growth on the glass surface. Hence, ensuring me a perfect peek into my shrimp world.

Realize that I now can't help but to see the usefulness in "trash" and bring these "trash" back to life.
- Now I have friends on my desk to keep me company as I work on my assignments.
- Inspires me to continue to find green projects and solutions.
