The closest you can get to a tropical paradise without a plane ticket
The incredible Halocaridina Rubra, a red shrimp native to saltwater pools in Hawai'i, can live and thrive in small spaces. In fact, NASA conducted a study to learn about their amazing ability to adapt to extreme environments. ¹

This species, called Halocaridina Rubra, produces less waste than it consumes and acts as a buffer to its' environment.
Inside each aquarium is a living, breathing ecosystem that transforms waste into food, over and over, in a recurring cycle.

The AquaCove is a fully-contained, self-sustaining, miniature aquarium (or ecosystem) - it is an elegant piece of nature that sits comfortably on your desktop while you work, or anywhere at home.
You do not have to clean the jar. However, over time algae may build up on the inside of the glass, but it's not necessary. A supply of algae is the food source for the shrimp and is not harmful in large quantities.
Normally, no. This depends if there is not a noticeable quantity of algae (brown or green), in rare cases it may help to feed the shrimp.
Shrimp in AquaCoves can survive a few years (3+) if kept in the proper environment. Larger units can last longer (10+ years) through successive generations.
Shrimp inside the AquaCove will most likely not reproduce. In larger environments, they will breed quite readily and can survive through generations!
If you notice a pale, gray skeleton at the bottom, this is actually the molted exoskeleton and a sign of a healthy shrimp! Otherwise, it is normal for shrimp to die over time - their bodies become a part of the life cycle.
It's normal for shrimp to hide. If you have not seen them for more than two weeks - try opening the lid and lightly nudging the coral/rock inside to see if they come out. Moving the jar or coral inside is stressful, so only do it if necessary.
We have a small magnetic attachment that is great for cleaning glass. Simply move the scrubber in a smooth circular motion and watch the glass become crystal clear.
We make it super easy to enliven your workspace. Our miniature aquariums are the perfect gift for friends, family, and coworkers. Adopt your new pet today!
