Jar Tank

I just read through this, and I wonder if it was my Aiptasia jar you saw. If so, awesome. If not, still awesome as I thought I would be the only one that supported the "Aiptasia Lives Matter" movement.

Crap. I missed that. lol. That is my jar lol. I am thinking of getting a non-tempered one, drilling it and trying to make a small canister filter from something. Every day water changes are not much, but still take time lol.

I wanted to try something new and easy and I saw someone keeping an aptaisa in a jar. So I started one got an aptaisa a few pieces of live rock and sand and some chaeto with pods in a jar.
So far the inhabitants are

• aiptasia
• amphipods
• isopods
• flatworms
• tisbe pods

I am wondering what else I could put in there.
In theory all I should have to add to the system is a pellet or two a day light and a little bubbler.
Pictures are coming soon

Following as well. This the second aiptasia jar I am seeing in about a week. If Aiptasia is easy to find locally please advise me on where to look you may have a third jar to look at from Kenya.

Aiptasias are very common and are usually hitchhiker pest. They will easily overtake your aquarium. That is why I put them in a jar.

Great news the asterina starfish split last week and I have pictures of both halves.

Also a fun side note we grew water melon for the first time this year and we have a big one.

 

[Blasto Pala]

Wow... That's great news. Still peeking at the water in the river asking is that aiptasia. On brighter note I am thinking of experimenting in a large dark tank with catfish

 

[Blasto Pala]

Saw a live catch today. Maybe half a bucketful. I'll keep working on that catfish. Should share the pictures soon

Unfortunately the tank got covered in film algae and all the snails died in there so I put the rocks and sand in a new jar. No sings of living creatures yet.

 

[MombasaLionfish]

Good news I found bristle worms in one jar and so I fed it again.
