Eco Prawn
I saw this interesting desktop ornamental at a friend’s place. It is called eco prawn – tiny ornamental prawns that requires minimum maintenance. Maybe that's where the name came from. It is supposedly ‘self cleaning’. No need to change water. All you need to do is feed them.
Actually, ‘self cleaning’ is a bit misleading. The cleaning is actually done by snails. The snails go around gobbling up whatever waste there is in the ‘tank’. Once their life-span is up, they die and you have to replace them.
The eco prawn aquarium comes in vaious sizes and shapes. The cost varies – depending on the size of the ‘tank’, the number of prawns, and the decorative items that are in it. You can buy other decorative items you like and put them in the tank. The eco prawn aquariums in the video is somewhere between $50 for the small one, to $150 for the big one.
Here's a short video clip.
This makes a very good gift for all occasions. I can’t remember where my friend bought this. If you are interested, I can find out for you. I believe that Amazon sells this too.

That's pretty cool. They used to sell something similar, with a beta fish in a container with a plant stuck in the top. The plant ate the fish poop and the fish was supposed to eat the roots. I think they lasted for a while, but it really wasn't a great idea because I don't think fish naturally eat roots.
It is pretty cool isn't it?
It seems a bit strange for a plant to eat fish poop and a fish to eat plant roots. But what do I know right?
With the eco prawns, they can reproduce and you can 'build' your own aquarium. Just go to the shop and buy the glass container and decorative items you like.
Thank you for the video.
