How many shrimps in sphere?

I had four shrimps in my first 4" sphere and received four shrimps in my new 4" sphere.

3 or 4, kind of hard to count, they swim really fast & the reflection on the glass makes it look like there are more. They look like they are riding a bicycle.

I have only looked a couple of times because it's currently at my fiancee's apartment, and we dont live together, but it appears to be only three. It just didn't look like there were that many. However, last time I checked (2 weeks ago) they were all still alive.

This is a very reasonable question and one we all need to ask before buying shrimp.

I would suggest caution in purchasing this item. The Ecosphere needs a constant temperature around 70 degrees with indirect sunlight. Temperatures in the 90's will cause an influx in algae and can harm or kill the shrimp.

You don't! It's a closed ecosystem, like the earth. The shrimp will eat what the system provides (like algae that grows in it). I suppose if one shrimp dies, the other ones eat it since they are scavengers, but I haven't seen that yet. My son gave my husband one, so he has it at the office as a conversation piece. I thought it was cool and gave one to my niece for her dorm room. If I had one, I'd put it in my classroom. I teach math; I'll bet the science teachers would be jealous!

Very little. Mine just had a few dead stalks. If u have good lighting and patience it might could grow. Don't expect a lot of extra shrimp I just got one(10-30% more makes it sound impressive)and it was dead. But the rest are healthy and doing good a month later.

That's funny because I would have never thought to count but, using a very random equation - approximately 5 balls fit on a typical dessert spoon. If you take the fact that no one will eat just five and multiply it by the number of teaspoons a person is willing to scoop-I actually prefer a ladle scoop-then I'd estimate there to be 5 × 500=2500 balls. Seriously though, there's more than enough in a container for you, your family, friends. Enjoy!

hmmmm... not sure, but I'd estimate 30? We have had the same bucket for over a year and it is still half full. They really do work, though. :)

Sorry, I don't have any idea now. I gave one container as a gift, and the other I am sorry to say we ate and the container is gone. I am guessing maybe 25-30. It is about the size of a large cottage cheese container--maybe a little taller. There were more than I thought would be in it. There were several of us sneaking into the container. Sorry I am not more help, but I do plan on ordering again.

Over 700 beads in the package. Makes about a gallon of beads when soaked in water.

I would estimate about 200-250. They expand with water, so although they seem small in the package, there is really a generous amount to use.

Diamond shapes 1/2" long by 1/4" high. Quite small minnows as well as grass shrimp get caught. I've used these for years and this coated mesh is the nicest one I've had. I use puppy dog food as bait.

The diameter of the sphere is 2.5 inches, so the radius is 1.25 inches. The formula for the volume of a sphere is 4/3&#960;r^3 so we get 8.181230868723418 cubic inches of water. That amount of water equals approximately 4.5 ounces. You'd need two spheres.

Sort of. The bowl halves twist together to form two spheres. So you eother have 4 bowls or two containers.

That's the beauty of an EcoSphere! You don't feed the shrimp. The shrimp feed off the algae that grows in the sphere.

Hi Diane, I don't recall looking to see how many there were in the bucket, but I think you would have enough with this jar.... there were a TON of jelly beans.
