Shrimp in a bowl.

[bitteraspects]

Indeed.
I have a couple of shrimp in a much smaller tank. As long as you add a bunch of moss and plants, and keep up with frequent water changes (I change mine every 1-3 days), they will be fine.
If you could add an air pump and maybe a tiny sponge or box filter, that would be even better.

I agree, cherry shrimp would work, and water changes would be easy enough.

Funny. Reminds me of a thread I saw made by a guy who had a juvie Arowana in one of those Critter Keeper things as perminant housing. It had about 30-100 pages of Raging MFK'ers. Turns out it was just a bad joke, he was cleaning his main tank and put it in there for the time being.

But, I don't know. It's hard to judge the size of the bowl from the picture. You may be able to put a cherry shrimp in there, but not telling how long it would live in such a small thing. Is it the size of one of those betta bowls you see all the pet stores have?

A little bigger

Would i change 100% or like 1/8 of a gallon

Check that thread out, dwal did the same thing you're talkin about. No filter or heater, sunlight as the light. I might set up one of these and breed feeder shrimp.

just be mindful that you want nitrate levels to stay at or under 10 ppm which would mean LOTS of WC for that size bowl. you may need to do partial WC multiple times a week. Having live plants such as java moss would help to absorb some of the nitrates. Also you need to remember that temperature change could happen very rapidly in such a small amount of water

Unless you have a whole bunch of shrimp, it really won't raise the nitrate much. A pair of cherry shrimp in that tank will have an almost immeasurable bio-load.
also, keeping a bunch of java moss in the tank will help keep the nitrates in check. Not just the nitrates. From the shrimp, but any trace nitrates from your tap too. I have java moss and java fern in my tank w/ 3 shrimp, and I don't have any problems with nitrates between WC. (and the tanks maybe 0.1g, or something ridiculous like that)

If suggest a partial WC every other day. And with a tank that size it will take all of 30seconds to do it. Lol.

geeze it would take an eye dropper to do a water change on a tank that size

Keeping to the 10 shrimp per gallon guidline, you could keep 2-5 cherry or glass shrimp in that bowl if you do a 50-100% WC every day or two.

A buddy of mine did Opae Ula in a bowl about that size, used some sort of volcanic rock substrate, did daily water changes, and used natural sunlight, and it worked great... personally I'd be a lot more likely to go with a pair of cherries
