are they actually in a ecosphere

No they are not in an ecosphere. Be advised these shrimp are tiny I placed them in my 75 gallon saltwater tank and have not seen them since.

Hello, The 10 shrimps only comes in a bag of water via USPS mail and picked up at your local post office when they arrived. You will need to buy a container for them to live in. There's other seller who sale the shrimps with EcoSphere.

I believe that is a special order. I get them in a sealed tight water pack and I put them in a small shrimp tank. I have ordered several times from this company and I'm very happy with their service. If you have question's about their ecosphere I'm sure someone will responded to your email.

No it's just the shrimp. I keep mine in a wall mounted tank that I bought on Amazon and the top is open. I read that the ecosphere interferes with their growth. I believe this is true because my first Ope Ula shrimp I bought in Hawaii while on vacation in a tiny ecosphere. This shrimp is tiny where as my shrimp in the wall tank are growing and much bigger than the one in the ecosphere. I suggest a fish bowl or small tank. You must have brackish water for these shrimp. Believe it or not I used table sea salt 1/2 tsp with a gallon of distilled water and they are thriving! I also bought the ope ula rock where algae can grow on. They also sell food which is dried algae on Amazon. I have snails in the tank and Java moss for the shrimp as they like cover.

My daughter wrote, "Tell them its like orbeez but it says its enviornmentally friendly. Biodegradable. You soak the little pellets in water and they inflate into little orbs."

I don't REALLY know. I am not a biologist. I bought these for my son, who lives in Seattle, and my daughter-in-law left them in the sunlit mailbox for two days before she got around to checking the mail. They were doing OK, came through last winter in Seattle (which is not really saying very much) and they are still doing fine today.

They say they are being earth conscience (Green), however, it is really a cost saving measure. All you need to do is go online and download it.

They do have "Earthwise Ampad" in green printing in the corner. Not the recycled mark.

I think my instructions mentioned that you may get you ecosphere recharged for free within 6 months, but you have to pay for shipping. If you bought it 2 years ago I don't think they will do anything

I don't know. In the pictures I have seen them growing in plantations in Japan's highlands, it looks like filtered light.

I believe it is. It's from Canada & they're more stringent with ecological issues & safety issues.

I believe they are. They are for sure Gerbs, and all the info I have says they're grown in the U.S.

If they are treated with some pesticides, they are likely not organic, although I believe there are natural anti-pest remedies that are still allowed under organic status.

No. The Ironwood Gourmet website only states, "products [are] made with environmentally-friendly and renewable material". Sounds nice, but it's an empty statement.

I don't think so, they come in plastic bags and have no info saying they are.

They don't appear to be. They aren't made in a way to suggest that cleaning might be possible.

Yes, they are. From the company's website: http://www.naturesplus.com/products/productdetail.php?productNumber=3421&criteria=keywordSearchResults

By all means yes... just give them the right environment. Avoid the anaerobic/stinky/mushy environment and they'll produce. I purchased a second worm farm and scooped some from the first and that one is fully populated.

Actually they are pretty vegan. You see, when you eat seaweeds, kelps, and sea plants, you also eat the poop of every life form in the ocean. Which contains gelatin. Much like when you eat raw grains that have been plowed with a tractor that grinds up bugs, rabbits, squirrels, birds, rats, and other animals in the machine.
